SMU Muslim Society
ABOUT US
SMU MS is a student-initiated organisation that aims to serve the Muslim community in SMU and society at large for the betterment of humanity. Grounded by the vision to forge an environment that enjoins good and forbids evil, SMU MS hopes to provide the spark for a journey of self-improvement through initiatives, good character and an inclusive environment. We strive to be a compassionate Muslim student body which strives and encourages each other in seeking the pleasure of Allah SWT (mardhatillah).
SMU Islamic Business and Finance Society (SMU IBFS) is a student-initiated wing, constituted under SMU MS, with a vision to cultivate and promote the growing interest in the fields of Islamic business, law, economics and other faculties of studies among the student population in SMU and other tertiary institutions within Singapore.
KEY EVENTS
- LIFestyle (Learn Islam Festival)
Learn Islam Festival (LIFestyle) is SMU Muslim Society's annual flagship event. The name serves to reflect a more approachable and receptive event to the target audience who compromise both Muslims and the people of other faiths. LIFestyle aims to create a greater awareness of Islam amongst the SMU community. The word 'lifestyle' is apt in portraying a prominent characteristic of Islam as not merely a faith, but a way of life. Through the activities held during this event, we hope that LIFestyle will help individuals to think deeper about Islam, contextualise it to the reality of modern society, and dispel any misconceptions associated with the religion. - Ad-hoc Classes/Talks
Throughout the year, various talks are organised. The aim is to promote a deeper understanding of Islam and clears any doubts that one might have through the guidance of esteemed speakers. This is also coupled with regular classes which serves as an avenue for students to consistently learn more about Islam alongside friends. - Project Inara (CSP)
Project Inara is a Community Service Project (CSP) under SMU MS. With the intention of doing our part to serve the community, Project Inara rallies together passionate volunteers to embark on a project to benefit local beneficiaries. This year, Project Inara is looking to work with MIJ Hub to establish meaningful connections with students with special needs from MIJ Hub, while also empowering them with life skills.
