WHAT IS MUSLIM THINKERS ABOUT?

The Muslim thinkers roadshow is a platform

to create an awareness to the public

about the great muslim thinkers and their legacy(the paramount era).

when hundred of years ago our thinkers made

hundreds or even thousands of inventions.

It is also an outreach effort from ennaeem mosque

(rather than waiting for people to come to our mosque,we went to them).

We didnt realize that some of the things that we use

are the initial inventions of our great muslim thinkers.

For example pistons and cranks in cars and motor.

Do you know the first man to fly is a muslim? Yes, he was ibn Firnas!

Who made the guitar? It's Ibn Farabi!

So here are the things that we have to share to the people

who don't know the actual fact.

Every invention comes with a purpose and

we as the Khalifa must come up with the purpose to prosper the Alam.

By knowing the miraculous inventions..

we must be proud of our identity:)

WHAT IS PROJECT AZAM ABOUT?

The project was initiated to help low-income students cope with their education and life.

There are three sections to the project mainly,

Academic Tutoring, Religious Mentoring and Self Development Programmes.

"The launch of Project Azam at Persatuan Silat Singapura (Persisi) was such a great experience.

I was called up by Abg Wan to share with the students about what Project Azam was about.

I could see from their faces that they enjoyed my stories.

Now that school is over, I'll be working very closely with my counterpart from Persisi to make sure the program builds up and runs smoothly on their side.

Persisi will be making it compulsory for all Singapore Sports School Silat students to be part of Project Azam.

It seems their students are in a more dire situation.

I had a long conversation with the Director of Persisi, Sheikh Alauddin, on matters pertaining to social ethics, education and discipline that the students were boiled in.

He even commended on my talk, saying that the way I gave my talk was great for the students as I shared some real-life stories.

He even wanted me to be involved in more future such events.

That moment right there - talking to him - opened my eyes on how my efforts have spread and could possibly touch many more lives out there.

Hopefully, more kids will be motivated and inspired through this program."
