The C
Core Esseence

W
e believe in
i Allah u annd that which iis revealed untto us and that which
w was revvealed unto Ab
braham e,
and Ishmmael e, and Issaac e, and Jaacob e, and the t Tribes, an nd that which Moses e and d Jesus e
received, and that whicch the Prophetts f received d from their Lo ord. We makee no distinction
n between
any of theem, and unto Him
H we have ssubmitted unreeservedly. [The e Koran, 2:1366]

W
e believe in Prophet Muhammad a aas the final Pro ophet [The Ko
oran, 33:40] inn a long line off Prophets
and Messsengers f [ThThe Koran, 37:337], through whom
w Allah u delivered thee final celestiaal Message
[The Korran, 26:192-1977], and aboutt whom Allah h u has com mmanded the believers l to follow
unreserveedly. [The Koraan, 33:36]

W
e believe in the Korann as the last pprophetic disp
pensation revealed by Allahh u for hum manity. Its
guidance will remain until
u the Last D
Day, and no other
o infallible
e guidance willl be given to the world
us, son of Marry  d, who wiill affirm the K
until the return of the messiah, Jesu Koran and elu ucidate its
meaningss conclusively for
f the commu unity of Proph
het Muhammad a. [The Korran, 43:57-67]

W
e believe that Singapore is Dâr al-Am
mân or “Land of
o Safety and Security”
S Muslims. This means we
for M
follow th
he laws of this land as long as we are nott ordered to do anything thhat is against Sharî‘ah
S or
“Sacred Law”.
L In this regard, we rrefer to the guidance
g set by the Islamicc Religious Council
C of
Singaporee (MUIS) and subscribe to fo
forging the “Sin
ngapore Musliim Identity”.

The M
Methodo
ology

W
e abide completely to the ethos of ““Traditional Islam”—judici
I ously guided by the Qânûn Islâmî or
“Canons of
o Islam”, andd adhere strictlly to the preceepts of ahl al-S
Sunnah wa l-Ja
Jama‘a or “peo
ople of the
Propheticc tradition an
nd communityy”—with emp phasis on emu ulating the life
fe of the finall Prophet,
Muhamm mad a. What this means in reeality, in relation to the threee dimensions of Dīn or “Relligion”, is:

Isllām or Subm
mission IImān or Faith
h Ihsānn or Excellen
nce
In matterss of Fiqh or “Juriisprudence”, we In matters of Aqîdah or “Creed”, we In mattters of Tasawwuf
