Central to the Islamic teachings and way of life are various obligatory acts of worship (ibadah) which are often referred to as the "Five Pillars of Islam." While the aim of each of these is the remembrance and glorification of Allah s.w.t., it must be emphasized that Allah’s majesty and glory do not depend in the slightest degree upon the praise or even acknowledgment of His creatures. Rather it is the human being who needs these recurrent forms of worship to keep his contact with his Lord.
The purpose of Islamic acts of worship or practices is, therefore, to strengthen the individual's faith and submission to Allah, to enhance his character, to discipline him for his role as Allah’s faithful servant and steward on earth, to make it possible and easy for him/her to live in the manner ordained by Allah, and to reinforce the ties of brotherhood and affection among humankind. In this deeply self-reflective and interactive course, students will not only learn the fine details of the aspects of worship, but also their significance to sustain his appreciation and steadfastness in performing them.

As a Muslim, understanding and performing the commandments of Allah s.w.t. is vital in one’s quest to be righteous servant of The Almighty. Therefore, grasping the knowledge of Fiqh is imperative in enabling one’s to understand the rulings and practices as interpreted by the Muslim jurists (fuqaha’). The fiqh rulings serve as a manual and guide to ease Muslims in their religious rituals and practices in accordance to their circumstances and localities. In this eight-hour engaging workshop, participants will be introduced to the Fiqh concept of rukhsah (exemption from general rulings) with special focus on issues faced by Muslims when they travel. As Muslims form part of the world’s travellers, there is therefore a need to know how to perform their religious obligations such as praying (solah) and fasting (sawm). This course will explain guidance on taking ablution (wudu’) and praying while taking land transport such as tour buses and air travelling, such as when one is taking a flight.
Beyond the issues of praying, this course will also share information on dietary rulings, such as tips on finding food that is permissible for Muslims to consume while they are in countries with few or almost no halal-certified eating establishments. This course is relevant for frequent or occasional travellers and will equip them with relevant knowledge that will guide them to be confident with their faith as they travel to see the beauty of Allah’s creations in this vast world.

Muslims view illness and sickness as tribulations and trials from Allah s.w.t. Sickness is regarded as a kaffarah or expiations of sins. At the same time, Muslims are reminded to take care of their health as the wellness of their body is an amanah by Allah s.w.t. for them.
A healthy and strong believer is loved by Allah s.w.t and thus one should always strive to maintain one’s health and wellness. However, illness and sickness are inevitable in one’s life. Therefore, as Muslims, we are reminded to be prepared for any eventualities and that includes preparation in managing illness.
In this eight-hour engaging workshop, participants will be introduced to the Fiqh concept of rukhsah (exemption from general rulings) with special focus on issues faced by Muslims when they fall sick. From learning the ways on how one can perform the ablution or substitute it with tayammum, to understanding different methods of praying based on one’s health circumstances, this course will cover it all. This course will pay special focus to patients in hospitals and how best they can perform their obligatory prayers.
Beyond the issues of praying, this course will also discuss the issues of fasting when one is sick. Can the sick break their fast? What about those who can never fast in their lifetime - what can they do? This course is relevant for Muslims who wish to equip themselves with extended knowledge of Fiqh and is also highly applicable for healthcare workers and caregivers.

Stories of prophets are mentioned in various part of the Quran. As the Quran is a book of guidance, these stories should be reflected upon as it acts as a guide for us till the end of times. Among these prophets, there are those who showed extraordinary amount of patience and perseverance while facing God’s trials and tribulation in life. These prophets are called the Ulul Azmi or Arch-Prophets. They are prophet Nuh, Ibrahim, Musa, Isa & Muhammad. This module will study the different trials faced by the arch-prophets, how they overcome the challenges, and how we can learn to apply its lesson in our daily lives living in the context Singapore.

It is our nature to make mistakes and sometimes fall into sins when making such mistakes. Thus, it is important for Muslims to understand the acts that may bring them to the sins so as to prevent themselves from such actions.
This course will explain the importance of a servant to turn back to Allah. It does not really matter how big the sins are because what matters most is that Allah is the Most Forgiving and His forgiveness and mercy are above our sins.
Among the matters to be discussed in this course include the notion of sin, manifestation of Taubah, the means or conditions to repent and stories that can be learned from the past to motivate one to do Taubah.

It is innate in nature that human beings are diversely created thus making them different from each other in many aspects. They are different physically and intellectually, have different tastes, thoughts and many others. These diversity and differences are a matter of fact and could not be disputed.
With and due to the existing differences that human beings have from way back, they have become accustomed to leading and living an open and interactive life with others which in turn make them realise on the necessity of tolerance for communal survival.
This diversity also occurs in the faith that one chooses to hold on and believe in. The Quran has also clearly described this with regards to this matter.
Additionally, the Prophet (PBUH) who served as the messenger of peace sent by Allah to this world had also emulated positive behaviour in dealing with people who did not believe in his message or have the same belief as him
Today, diversity in faith continues to exist and becoming widespread. Does this diversity need to be constrained and that only Islam should be regarded as the only religion that can be accepted and practiced? What are the consequences from such assumptions?
With the existence of diversity and differences of faiths, human beings are strongly encouraged to interact among themselves in order to understand the differences that they have which in turn will lead to understanding and respecting each other’s faiths.
In Islam, the existence of diversity empowers Muslims with a sense of responsibility to share with others about Islam and to exhibit kindness and good virtues that Islam advocates so that the non- Muslims can have a good understanding about Islam.
To spread the message of Islam or better known as preaching (dakwah) is one of the natural behaviour that Allah has created for mankind and via that, they can get to know and understand each other. The Almighty Allah’s saying in the Quran “The is no coercion in religion” is the basis whereby no single individual has the right to force other people to embrace Islam. Even the Prophet (PBUH) himself did not shoulder the responsibility to make everyone during his time embraced Islam.
Hence, this module emphasises on the importance of understanding the fundamentals in living with each other, especially on the need to practice tolerance when addressing the issue of differences of faith.
The fundamentals whereby its basis is derived from the divine sources will be included in order to further explain on the extreme need to understand the relationship dynamics between Muslims and non-Muslims.
Singapore as a country with diverse society –be it race or religion- has to create and cultivate receptiveness towards the existing different faiths because it can result in greater acceptance in the society as well as instilling harmony in the community.
With the existing harmonious state that the society currently possesses, religious activities can be easily organised and executed without any feelings of fear or fear of being threatened.

The existence of Muslims in Singapore is something that cannot be denied and avoided and this existence will continue in times to come.
The increase in the level of religious awareness among the Muslim society has lead to many of them enquiring on the Islamic view with regards to their presence, living in Singapore in order to ensure that their lives are lived out in accordance to the principles of Islam that they firmly hold on to.
The importance of this matter is further magnified by some of them when they experience or feel that there are obstacles –be it real or based on assumptions- that hinder or complicate the process of practicing certain Islamic religious acts in Singapore.
This fact becomes more crucial to be addressed due to the situation of today’s world whereby there seems to be no boundaries thus exposing Singaporean Muslims to various religious thoughts and opinions which have been derived in other countries based on their respective contexts which are very much different from Singapore’s context.
Such religious thoughts and opinions cause confusion and anxiety among some of the Singaporean Muslims as they feel as if there is fundamental conflict which exists between being a Muslim and being a Singaporean and also whether living in Singapore can ensure a Muslim to live a life that would be in line with Islamic teachings thus attaining Allah’s blessings.
Besides that, the extremists and terrorists’ such as IS dedicated efforts in propagating their ideologies which are intended to instil hate between the Muslims and the non-Muslims, encourage the Muslims to fight against all non-Muslims wherever they are without exception and to pass ruling that living in a non-Islamic country and becoming its citizen is forbidden (haram) have added to the seriousness of the existing challenges faced.
All of the above factors demand a steady and coordinated effort for religious education to be reinforced in the Muslim society in order to eliminate confusion as well as to attain tranquillity and to protect oneself from the deception of these deviated groups.
This ADIL’s module which explains the important issues with regards to the relationship between Muslims and the non-Islamic country where he lives and resides in, is among the early steps undertaken to fulfil the necessity of understanding the dynamics of such relationship.
The module is constructed in such a way that it provides the understanding that Muslims are actually able to live in a non-Islamic country –with all of its imperfections and limitations that the country has- without having to jeopardise the principles of Islam. Being a minority does not necessarily lead to them being Muslims of a lower status in the eyes of God if compared to the Muslims living in an Islamic country. In fact, living in a non-Islamic country might be seen as an opportunity to gain a greater reward from Allah.
The module also guides participants to believe that the reason for their existence is extended beyond their personal interest as a Muslim. The participants will be made to understand that striving to contribute to the general harmony of the society and the country is something that is encouraged by Islam as long as it is guided by the principles that have been outlined by the Shariah.

Among the pertinent characteristics of communal living in Singapore is its cultural, ethnical and religious diversity that exist among its citizens.
This characteristic is expected to be continuous. In fact, observers predict that Singapore’s level of diversity will increase and become more complex in times to come. The reason for such is due to globalisation and economic demands which in turn pave ways for non-Singaporeans to emigrate to Singapore.
Besides that, the world has become more open as a result of the advance in info-communication technology which exposes Singaporean Muslims to various form of diversity and this includes religious diversity.
Various overseas incidents such as the conflicts happening in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan and Palestine as well as the emergence of extremist groups such as IS and Al-Qaeda also pose challenges and affect the inter-religious relationship among mankind.
The negative implications arising from the challenges can be observed in other countries in the form of relationship tensions between Muslims and the non-Muslims, the increase in Islamophobia-related incidents, the movement of anti-immigrants who are of different belief from the citizens and other acts which are based on the sentiments of anti non-Muslims and anti-West.
One of the important initiatives –be it at the local or global platform- in addressing the challenges faced by the relationship between religions is to encourage efforts in initiating dialogues and interactions with the non-Muslims. This is done with the intention to foster mutual understanding and to eliminate prejudice between one another.
At the national level, there are IRCC groups at the grassroots’ level which involve the local Islamic bodies and mosques whereby their role is to establish relationship between the Muslims and the non-Muslims in the form of initiating inter-faith dialogues and social interaction.
Even though the situation in Singapore is not as bad if compared to other foreign countries, proactive approaches which are based on Islamic principle should be taken to guide the Singaporean Muslims’ community in understanding and having the right attitude in facing these challenges so that conflicts will not be ignited which will then destruct the harmonious life that Singapore has to offer.
In fact, such efforts have started and been undertaken with the establishment of Harmony Centre by Muis which is centred at An-Nahdhah Mosque.
Various activities have been conducted since the establishment of this centre and the centre has received praises from various parties –be it local or international- for its commendable efforts.
It has become the icon of commitment and constructive contribution by the Singaporean Muslims in realising social harmony and positive inter-religious relationship.
Nevertheless, there is still a lot more that can be done such as efforts taken in socializing the idea of the importance of dialogues in order to foster positive relationship between Muslims and non-Muslim of all ages.
Surely as a Muslim, this must be done with the guidance of the Islamic principles itself and not merely based on blind following of the current trends or due to external pressure.
Based on the background mentioned above and to fulfil the objective of socializing inter-faith dialogues among the various groups within the Singaporean Muslims’ community as well as to instil awareness and understanding that inter-faith dialogue does have a basis in Islam and that it can be coordinated as long as it is guided by Islamic principles, the module is then developed and offered to the targeted audience of the ADIL Muis’s program.
Generally, this module will help in instilling understanding among the participants that Islam advocates its believers to firstly mould a positive attitude towards believers of other religions although there are differences in terms of the main principles that they have. Islam also encourages inter-faith dialogues with the non-Muslims whereby the dialogues shall be guided by certain specific principles.
This understanding is then strengthened with examples of inter-faith dialogues that have been conducted which had garnered utmost support from the contemporary scholars.
As the issue of inter-faith dialogues is usually linked to the issue of freedom of religion, this module shall also discuss on the contemporary scholars’ stance on the freedom to embrace a particular religion, which also comprises of the ruling of a Muslim who denounces his faith in order to embrace other religions; taking into consideration the Singapore’s context.

In Madinah, he spent the remaining 10 years of his life and it was here that other brilliant aspects of his immaculate personality became fully manifested. The divine call now had entered a decisive stage and many important events took place in Madinah, which eventually laid a firm foundation for the spread of Islam to the furthest reaches of the globe.

Is there space for doubt in one’s journey in the pursuit of faith in Islam? What are the root causes of these doubts and can they be addressed or intervened? Are there misconceptions that have affected the faith of Muslims especially the youth that needs to be clarified?
Doubt may lead individuals to rebuke certain aspects of doctrines of Islam or even abandon Islam totally. Yet doubt may also be a natural process of thinking and questioning in solidifying one’s belief, as can be evidenced even from our classical Islamic traditions. In modern times, this crisis of faith and doubt may stem from multiple factors such as moral and social concerns, philosophical and scientific concerns, and even psychological distress or trauma. Divine guidance and knowledge are important to overcome doubt.
Misconceptions on sensitive religious concepts such as jihad and Islam being a religion of fear and punishment, as well as social misconceptions of intolerance of Islam for inter- and intra-faith relations have confused not only the non-Muslims but also misled some Muslims as well. Hence there is a need to address these misconceptions, so as not to perpetuate their negative effects in our secular and plural society.
This module will discuss the issue of doubts and misconceptions in Islam, its multiple root causes and consequences and ways to address them, in the context of a plural society and a global world.

Of the estimated 1.6 billion Muslims in the world, about 65 percent live in Asia. Some 250 million Muslims reside in Southeast Asia. While Muslims in this region may be a minority in the Muslim world, their role in shaping the future destiny of Islam is far from peripheral. Indonesia is the largest Muslim country in the world, Malaysia is a dynamic, modern Muslim country and Brunei is one of the world’s richest countries. Other than these three Muslim-majority countries, there are sizeable Muslim minorities in this region, including in Thailand, Philippines and Singapore, and other lesser known, smaller Muslim communities in Indochina, each with their own set of identities, aspirations and challenges.
This module will explain the geographical origins and sources by which Islam spread to this region, including the factors that helped shaped the content and contours of Islamic life amongst Muslims here. It will look at how religious belief and expression fit with extant and modern political and economic infrastructures.

Halal is a term widely used today and is not foreign to the global world. Halal is also a very significant and deeply valued belief for Muslims especially in Singapore, where they constantly and consistently ensure that everything they do and consume is acceptable within the religion. However, it is not surprising that many people today, including Muslims themselves, may not fully understand and appreciate what Halal is, even when they are observant and invested in Halal food consumption. Furthermore, it is also concerning that there will be an over-reliance on Halal certification for products that are irrelevant and go beyond food and beverages, such as fridges and microwaves, to which other countries around the region have already been certifying. Given that the discussion on what is Halal and what is not Halal continues to be a relevant point of conversation with the increasing production of the food industry as well as its supply origin from all corners of the world, it is timely for these matters to be addressed.
To this end, the module seeks to strengthen the understanding and perception of Halal in Islam by explaining its fundamental definition, concept and principles as well as its certification and processes in Singapore. At the same time, it will identify its parameters while maintaining social cohesion and strengthening good relationships with other faith communities. Ultimately, the module aims to equip Muslims with the relevant knowledge on Halal and empower them to become confident and responsible Muslim consumers.
