beloved Muhammad - salutations of Allah and peace be upon him.”

Our traditional Ahlus-Sunnah wal Jama’ah, in matters of AQEEDAH,
has been successful in refuting all ideological attacks to our creed
from the Rationalists, deviant mystics, atheist of its time – using its
own philosophical methods and discourses.
Many Muslims may have undervalued the intellectual heritage of
traditional Islam. With resurgence of Islamic discourse from a
certain ‘group’ which is gaining much follower on the YouTube,
‘philosophy’ and “ILMU- AL-KALAM” is branded as a ‘heresy’ to be
shunned.
Whereas our remedy to these challenges is this heritage of Islam.

In the context of Singapore Malay-Muslims, many may have lost
their mastery of the Malay language while their English literacy does
not entail enough competency to understand serious intellectual
discourses.
Also, since we are living in a multi-racial multi-lingual society, and to
uphold the legacy of Prophetic Da’wah to others, we should seriously
prepare our young generation to master other languages.
Perhaps we can begin by preparing a simple immersion program in
daily interactive conversational courses – Mandarin, Hokkien,
Cantonese, Tamil, French, Tagalog, Japanese, etc.
