SMU Muslim Society

ABOUT US 

SMUMS is a student-initiated organisation that aims to serve the Muslim community in SMU and society at large for the betterment of humanity. 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.

SMUMS provides the opportunity for students to explore their leadership capabilities through organising events for the student community. Members will also experience working with various Islamic leaders and organisations.

KEY EVENTS

  1. LIFestyle (Learn Islam Festival)
    Today, Islam might be portrayed in a rather negative light. Hence, this event aims to share and debunk the misconceptions of the religion. 
  2. Talks
    Throughout the year, various talks will be organised, touching on different aspects of Islam. This promotes a deeper understanding of Islam and clears any doubts that one might have through the guidance of esteemed speakers. 
  3. Classes
    An avenue for students to consistently learn more about Islam under the guidance of a certified religious teacher. These classes will also help strengthen friendships and motivate one another towards consistency in religion.

OUR TRAINING 

  • Da’wah Training: EXCO leaders are trained by religious teachers to share about Islam and debunk the misconceptions to the community. (Held once a year before LIFestyle)

OUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS

  1. Ramadan Preparations
    In light of Ramadhan clashing with our semester this year, we managed to hold events to engage our community. This helped students in balancing their studies and their other acts of worship. We also had an Iftar Welfare Drive as a way of giving back to our community directly.
  2. EXCOllab
    Networking session with EXCO members of 5 Muslim Societies to discuss ways and methods to better engage and provide for our Muslim communities.
  3. Interfaith Event
    Conducted with other ROS clubs.
  4. SMU IBFS Instagram Giveaway
    Showcased the different Halal food options in and around school. Apart from informing the SMU Muslim community of their meal options, IBFS built rapport with these businesses, opening up opportunities for future collaborations and sponsorships.
  5. SMUMS Bookclub
    Started a community initiative to allow SMU Muslims to have a shared reading space and build friendships at the same time.

LIFestyle (Learn Islam Festival) [previously called Islamic Awareness Week] is a week-long flagship event of SMUMS, which aims to debunk the common misconceptions of the negatively represented religion.
