All praises be to Allah swt, Lord of all Universe. The Most Merciful and the Most Kind. Blessings be to our Prophet Muhammad saw, his family and his companions.
If you wish to see the daily duas do LIKE our FB Page. Assalammulaikum wr wb, Dear , Ramadhan is finally here. The often common sights like people hunting for food the last minute before break fast and solat terawih becomes so obvious for the last few days. Furthermore our office is at the heart of Bussorah Street where you can see so much happenings. Let us remember that Ramadhan is not just about being hungry. It is beyond that. We just received an email from Ustaz Mizi from Safinah reminding everyone that it starts with intention. What do you want to achieve this Ramadhan? - Complete Reading the Quran Whatever it is open or close, only you know yourself. Do set the intentions.. Also in last Sunday's Majlis Selawat ke atas Rasulullah saw, Ustaz Feisal reminded us to not complicate your goals and strive for easy ones first. Then attempt the harders ones. Example if you have been reciting 10 surahs over and over the last few years. Why don't we consider just memorising one or two more surahs this Ramadhan. Keep it simple and real. Ramadhan is also the month where Allah swt will reward those who believe and trust in Allah swt words. So do not worry so much about losing your wealth, ensure Zakat Wealth (2.5%) and Zakat Harta is paid up if you qualify for it. Donate as much as you can. If you used to give 10% away, try increasing to 11%. Just a little bit more would do and if you can give more, please do. And if you don't have wealth, contribute your energy as much as you can. May Allah swt reward you in this life and the here after. So what's happening this week? Mini Site We've launched a mini site http://ramadhan.islamicevents.sg for you to get references where to get all the info about Ramadhan. You can also get Imsakiah wallpapers and more from there.

Mass Musollah Clean UpVolunteers In total we have more than 160 volunteers. Unfortunately we cannot take anymore volunteers due to the overwhelming requests. We have also manage to assign the various musollahs to the groups. Each group of volunteers will be covering 3-5 musollahs islandwide. We have also increased the number of musollah to cover from 100 to 150 musollahs. But there is an issue, we don’t have enough vehicles and drivers to cover them all. Based on the draft assignments, we have assign those with cars to cover the northern, western, southern and eastern parts of Singapore. Whereas the central areas will be covered by foot. Ideally if we can get 10-12 more cars and drivers this would cover it as majority of the Musollahs are in the central region. I have a car and wish to participate.. How can I do that?

Hijab Hijrah 2013 / 1434HAll your life, you were never taught or told to don the Hijab. So you go to school and go to work without one. Then suddenly an incident in your life happen and this attracted you to the deen. After learning much about the deen, you decided to submit to Allah swt by obeying his instruction and that for the ladies is to cover yourself up. The moment you don the hijab, you get stares in the office. People whom you seem close to before, start to distant from you as if you are like an alien. The privileges that you had before have also been taken away. You feel as though you are a completely new person and yet you are a stranger to an environment that you once knew. Has it been challenging for you when you started to don the hijab? What's written above isn't something new. Infact it had happen to Muslims since the Prophet's saw time. At that time injustice towards women were rampant. Baby girls being buried alive and womens stripped from their rights. Islam came to free this women and gave them rights. We should be thankful that in the past there were many who sacrificed themselves and even got killed just to uplift the values that Islam have for women. You are not alone in this journey. In this forum style talk, we are going to get to listen to various speakers coming from various background from one who have worked in the corporate sector to a celebrity that have decided that enough is enough. Let's submit to Allah's will. Its Hijab Hijrah 2013.. Be inspired by these dynamic ladies who are successful both in their careers and their family life.
