On the authority of Abu Hamzah Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) — the servant of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) — that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

“None of you [truly] believes until he loves for his brother that which he loves for himself”. 

 [Al-Bukhari] [Muslim] (Reference: 40 Hadith Nawawi 13, Hadith 13).

عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ خَادِمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه و سلم عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله

 عليه و سلم قَالَ: “لَا يُؤْمِنُ أَحَدُكُمْ حَتَّى يُحِبَّ لِأَخِيهِ مَا يُحِبُّ لِنَفْسِهِ”. 


رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ [رقم:13]، وَمُسْلِمٌ [رقم:45].

BIGS has seven core values. These values have been carefully chosen by all stakeholders including children, parents, staff and governors. Our values underpin all that we do at BIGS and we explore these values in depth.  During our collective worship, we aim to make these values central to everything we do at school and in life.
