Assalamu‘alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. Alhamdulillah, the year 2011 is blessed with constructive movement for Darul Arqam and the Muslim community, although as part of a global society, we continue to face the challenges of international events that influence our lives and thoughts daily. With the intention to elevate our collective efforts in resonating harmony from the light of Islam, Darul Arqam has focused to enhance programmes that foster the goodwill amongst Muslims. As we bring up the awareness on Islam, the International Da’wah Conference 2011 was a key endeavour that brought activists of Islam from various countries together to share experiences about the progress in their communities. The sharing and the exchange were blessed opportunities for the participants, the speakers, and Darul Arqam as organisers, to seek the wisdom in the trials faced and the achievements produced by Muslims, no matter where they live and no matter how small their community is.

In our unique Singaporean context, Darul Arqam continues to strive towards providing a comfortable, respectful, and friendly platform for learners of Islam, from those who begin their journey of Islam to those wishing to pursue deeper understanding of the aspects in the religion. The courses, workshops, seminars and lectures that were brought to the fore in 2011 have brought together subjects of interest that were relevant to audiences from many different walks of life. Insha’Allah, the spread of programmes for our knowledge building will grow for the better as we plan events for 2012. Our concerns, besides for the educational development of the community, are also guided towards the social and welfare support of the Muslims that deserve assistance for their growth. Either for the new Muslims who wish to meet other Converts to Islam or the Muslims who seek to improve their living conditions, Darul Arqam, with its support network of members, volunteers, and donors, strives to put forward the most resourceful programmes and assistance to suit their needs. As Darul Arqam steps forward to fulfil the responsibility of the Association, with the trust that we value and the confidence we receive from our supporters, Insha’Allah, we shall continue to contribute positively and help the building of a wholesome unit of community with harmony and peace at its core and spirit.

Wassalamua’alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh Edwin Ignatious M @ Muhammed Faiz President Darul Arqam Singapore

Annual Report 2011

MASS MEDIA The Muslim Reader Magazine The Muslim Reader (TMR), the Association’s flagship magazine, provided relevant information to the new Muslims, who are in tune to learn more about their faith, and to the English-speaking members of the Muslim community. Maintaining a circulation of 4,000 copies, TMR is distributed to members of the Association. The magazines were also available for subscription and sale at the English Bookshop. The themes of the editions released in 2011 were “Following Faith – a collection of stories on why they embrace Islam”; Feel the Radiance – Islam Shines through Everything; and still in production at the end of the year was “Embracing The Light – Be Guided & Be Loved”. “Following Faith” was a bumper edition commemorating Darul Arqam’s 30th

Anniversary celebration and presented a fresh new design and layout, which are easier to read.

To create better awareness of the magazine among the general public, copies of the back issues (from before 2010) had been distributed at selected mosques, MMOs, and relevant functions organised by Inter Racial and Religious Committee Circles (IRCC), Singapore Prisons Service, Muslim students’ societies.

Teens’ Crossroads Magazine Teens’ Crossroads (TC) is geared primarily toward secondary and tertiary students. A column-based publication, TC presents lively articles with colour photos and illustrations to convey the energy and thought-stimulating attitude inherent in the rapidly changing world of youths. Distributed free-of-charge, TC appeals to youngsters, aged between 14 and 21, who are curious about the world and are interested in the intriguing and youthful scenes of arts, sports, social action and technology. The themes of the editions released in 2011 were “The Cool Side” and still in production at the end of the year was “Poetry in Motion” bumper edition.
