HAJJ SPECIALS-

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.

Assalammualaikum wr wb,

With the latest news regards to the non availability of performing the Qurban in Singapore for this year, we are even asked to consider performing it overseas. Besides the private service providers, mosques are also urge to look beyond our shores this year.

Similar to the email we sent out two weeks ago, we would like to remind you to be in a state of sabr and yet grateful because we can still perform the Qurban overseas. However we do hope that MUIS and the relevant authorities will be taking massive actions to resolve these issues for the coming years otherwise we, Singaporeans will not be able to enjoy this practise and this can have spill over effects in the generations to come.

What do we mean by spill over effects?

When a practise is stopped, future generations might think this isn't important. And when that happens, we too become ignorant of this. Future generations may not be able experience what our generation have seen and done for Qurban.

We may think right now -"How can that be?" In reality this could happen if the authorities don't take serious measures to find alternatives to the current problems we face now.

For now...

This week we have two more private operaters advertising with us. We are grateful for their efforts and we pray that Allah swt will continuously bless them and allow them to perform their duties smoothly insyallah.

Perhaps through this ordeal, we all can learn that we cannot just rely on one source. We've just been to Brunei last week and our friends shared with us about how the Royal Family bought land bigger than Brunei itself just to herd Goats & Sheeps so that they don't have problems like how we are facing now. 

Well we don't know how complicated the matters are with the import/export rules and the AVA rules. We hope and pray that the leaders in Singapore solved this matter and also developed backed up or contingency plans if this matter ever arises again.  

Let us not grow into modernity but forget our roots and religion. May Allah swt guide us all. Insyallah.
