The blessings of 2013 are still reverberating within the Association. Alhamdulillah. As this vigour propels waves of motivation for us this year, we step forward in our cause for Islam, having learnt from previous experiences and striving to be better guided in righteousness for the community every day. In 2013, we have expanded our support programme for new Converts to include an integrated pastoral care system that works towards building better network and social support for all newcomers to Islam. This enhancement helped to provide wider coverage in outreach to the Converts, besides the existing Befrienders Scheme, Multi-National Clubs, and other volunteer-based programmes already available at the Association. Continuing efforts to spread understanding of Islam, we had a dynamic stream of programmes bringing forth discussions on contemporary subjects pertaining to Islam and Muslims in plural society. The Singapore Muslim Youth Debate, in its fourth instalment, earned national recognition with participation by almost 80 debaters representing several non-profit bodies such as PRAXIS (Young AMP + Mendaki Club), tertiary institutions (local polytechnics and universities) and Madrasahs. This national-level debate series, one of the many innovative programmes by the Youth of Darul Arqam (YODA), engaged the younger Muslim generation, bolstered their confidence and also, reflected quality potential force for the Association. As we strengthened our resources and quality of courses at the Association, we explored the option to facilitate the learning of new Converts who were staying in the northern and western parts of Singapore by holding several courses at Al-Khair Mosque.

We also continued to serve the community with the Zakat contributions entrusted upon us, through our activities for the asnaf (beneficiaries) as mentioned in the Qur’an. Significantly, this indicated the continuity of the monthly and annual financial aid programmes for the fakir and miskin (poor and needy). On behalf of the staff of the Association, we want to thank those who have supported the Association, especially our executive committee and council, our members, our volunteers and those who are served by our programmes. Your willingness to continually support us and remind us of our mission in caring for the welfare of the people strengthens our spirit. A hadith narrated by A’ishah (RA) states, “The actions which Prophet Muhammad (SAW) loved most were those which were done most constantly.” Insha’Allah, let us carry forward in 2014 the consistent supplications for Allah (SWT) to guide us towards being a righteous people that contributes positively to the community.
