In our 3rd learning Journey this year, we were invited to Ai-Istiqamah Mosque which is located in Serangoon to understand the "Significance of Ramadan". Our renowned Imam Habib Hassan shared on the meaning of fasting which is not only practised by the Muslim faith alone but also by other faiths such as Bahai, Jews, Christians, etc. He shared on how blessed it was to give rather than to take as you will be rewarded a 100 fold when you willingly give to your less fortunate brothers and sisters.
At this sharing session, 2 books were also launched and all collections were donated to the mosque.
The first book is entitled "Sharing Islam with people of other faiths for understanding and unity". It was written by Sheik Kadir and the book is a compilation of Q&A providing >50 clarifications for our non-Muslim friends. The 2nd book entitled "When Nasi Lemak Meets Sushi" was written by Keiko Soda and depicts the diary of a boy growing up in a "Fusion" Muslim family.
This learning journey was very refreshing and rewarding as Habib Hassan shared on why Ramadan is so important in that we are indeed blessed with what we have today but also to appreciate the bare necessities of life as well as to care for your fellow human beings (who are less fortunate than you).
