PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Assalamu’alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate and Most Merciful. Alhamdulillah, Darul Arqam has been engaged with the Muslim community and has shared Islam with its public for 30 years (since September 1980 to September 2010). Reflecting on the past year’s activities, Darul Arqam is reminded of the honour and purpose to serve not only as a community organisation. We are pleased to be part of a positive Islamic movement that serves one and all, with the resources that put forward the importance of knowledge and creating understanding, as well as the significance of social bonding between Muslims and also with non-Muslims. As the focal point to the new learners of Islam, our courses and lectures continue to provide a platform towards understanding the religion through various perspectives. Our social and welfare programmes continue to develop towards fostering better relationship amongst Muslims and better support for our new Muslim brothers and sisters. Our financial aid programmes continue to offer monetary assistance and a series of motivational workshops for the poor and needy families that strive to improve and progress. For the youth, we have seen the establishment of the Youth Of Darul Arqam (YODA) and their emblazing spirit in the activities that revived the energy of the Association in many creative ways. The spread of projects that fortified the strength of Darul Arqam and vividly coloured our community is detailed further in this Annual Report. Alhamdulillah, the support, trust and confidence that accompany the responsibility of this Association is still strong. The care, contribution and feedback from members, volunteers, and donors, are highly valued elements that have helped us in fulfilling our duties. Insha’Allah, with the Guidance and Blessings of Allah (SWT), we would continue to proceed positively and in harmony with the community, while we uphold and spread the Islamic message of peace and excellence together. Wassalamua’alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh Muhd Faiz Edwin Ignatious President Darul Arqam Singapore
