SimplyIslam Weekend Islamic School

Abd' Allah ibn Abbas was among the closest companions of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and a great mufassir of the Qur'an. He narrated the following:

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was the most generous of all the people, and he used to reach the peak in generosity in the month of Ramadan when Gabriel met him. Gabriel used to meet him every night of Ramadan to teach him the Qur'an. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was the most generous person, even more generous than the strong uncontrollable wind (in readiness and haste to do charitable deeds).
[Sahih Al-Bukhari]

As a parent I may not have 100% knowledge or correct information to help my boys, but knowing that the things they've learnt in class like the values and basics of Islam, the five prayers, our Prophet (s) and Quran, it makes me feel so proud and grateful. Throughout their school week, they will be able to keep in mind the teachings from Simplylslam madrasah over the weekend and it's really a blessing.

Registration fee for Mendaki's tuition scheme cut from $210 to $10
_
Malay/Muslim students applying for the Mendaki Tuition Scheme (MTS) need to pay an annual registration fee of only $10 from this year - a sharp drop from the previous $210.

Self-help group Yayasan Mendaki hopes that this will make quality and affordable tuition more accessible to lower-income families.

Mendaki deputy chairman Zaqy Mohamad said he hopes that this will encourage more individuals to enrol in and benefit from MTS.

"We want to streamline the registration fee so every child is given the opportunity for education and does not have to worry about affordability."

The scheme offers English, maths and science tuition to students in Primary 1 to Secondary 5.

As at Saturday (Feb 5), 6,591 students have enrolled in the scheme.

Mr Zaqy, who is also Senior Minister of State for Manpower and Defence, said: "We are moving into Stem (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) sectors, and strengths in science, mathematics and technology have to be much stronger."

Among these students, more than 2,600 of them have registered for lessons in virtual centres, where lessons are conducted over the Zoom platform. The centres, which were launched just this year, aim to reach out to those who have challenges attending physical cases due reasons such as the Covid-19 pandemic, said Mr Zaqy.

MTS currently has 1,152 tutors, consisting of undergraduates, working professionals and retirees.

Class sizes are kept small, with no more than 15 students each - a factor that students interviewed said has helped improve their learning and grades.

Muhammmad Aniq Farhan Anel, a Secondary 3 student at Marsiling Secondary School, said that his maths results have improved greatly since he enrolled into the tuition scheme at the start of last year.

The 15-year-old Normal (Academic) student, who has three siblings who are also enrolled in the tuition scheme, said: "In school, a teacher has to teach a class of 30 students. Here in MTS, tutors can focus on one student if we don't understand a concept."

His schoolmate Niqi Nurfalisha Norazmi, 16, first joined the scheme when she was a Secondary 1 student. She said that the scheme greatly improved her grades in English and maths.

"Before the scheme, I had many 'U' grades. But now, I am starting to get C5s."

MTS is also taking on a more holistic approach, with enrichment programmes for students at the upper secondary level. For instance, the mentorship programme aims to guide Secondary 3 and 4 students on their options in higher learning once they complete their O or N levels.

Undergraduates and young adults aged 18 to 35 years old are trained as mentors and matched with a maximum of three students under the nine-month programme.

Mr Mirza Nabil Putra Azhar, 22, has been a mentor since last April. The nursing undergraduate from National University of Singapore said that he provides his mentees with guidance on study tips and course choices and industry insights. "We're like big brothers and sisters," he said

Mr Zaqy said that he hopes the programmes provided by Mendaki will help and inspire students to do well in school.

"We want everyone to have a tertiary education, because in this day and age, in this modern world, you need a certain level of competency to be able to succeed."

The best of stories that a believer should emulate and follow is the stories of the Prophets that have been told to us in the Quran. These stories are filled with guidance and good morals that we should strive to emulate in our lives.

The title of the sermon today is instilling gratitude. Hence, let us reflect and take lessons from the story of Prophet Sulaiman (a.s.), a Prophet of Allah who was granted a glorious kingdom to rule.

Allah (s.w.t.) says in surah Al-Naml, verse 15:
“And indeed We had certainly given to David and Solomon knowledge, and they said, "Praise [is due] to Allah, who has favoured us over many of His faithful servants."

Amongst the reasons why Prophet Sulaiman (a.s.) was described in the Quran as knowledgeable and wise is because he knew the reality of the favours that Allah has given him and used them in the right and appropriate situations. When someone realizes that the favours granted by Allah is merely a loan, he will definitely channel them in a way that pleases Allah (s.w.t.). That is the reality of true gratitude. Thankfulness is not just expressed with our tongues by reciting “Alhamdulillah”. But thankfulness is to use the favours accordingly so that we may attain the pleasure of Allah (s.w.t.). What benefit would it be to someone who has a lot of wealth if he chooses to ignore other people’s needs and rights? Such an attitude will only be a trial for him in this world, and an evidence against him in the Hereafter.

Who amongst us do not wish to be constantly bestowed with His favours? Let us remember that the key to that is to be grateful to Allah (s.w.t.) by using these favours according to what is pleasing to Him (s.w.t.). What a waste it would be if these favours were to be used in disobedience of Allah (s.w.t.).

This is one of the meanings mentioned in Surah Ibrahim verse 7:
“And [remember] when your Lord proclaimed, 'If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favour]; but if you deny, indeed, My punishment is severe.'

The favours that Allah (s.w.t.) grants us is not limited to material wealth or high status. However, there are things that we often overlooked or take for granted such as the peace and harmony that we enjoy in Singapore, or our health – all these are blessings that we should treasure and be thankful for.

Moreover, the Prophet (s.a.w.) taught us to avoid comparing ourselves with others, in regard to Allah’s favours. This is to avoid us from feeling inadequate or unhappy with what Allah (s.w.t.) has granted to us. The Prophet (s.a.w.) said: “Look at those who are beneath you and do not look at those who are above you. While doing so, you will not belittle the favours that Allah (s.w.t.) has granted to you.” (Hadis narrated by al-Tirmizi)

The Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) taught us to always appreciate the favours that Allah (s.w.t.) has granted us rather than focusing on what we lack and comparing ourselves to those who have more. This is to instill in us a sense of gratitude with what He has bestowed upon us.

Before we end, let us reflect and recite the doa taught by Prophet Sulaiman (a.s.) where he asked to always be in a state of gratitude towards the favours of Allah (s.w.t.) and utilize them in His obedience:

“Oh my Lord, bestow upon me guidance to always be grateful for Your Favours that you have granted me and to my parents, and (guidance) for me to do righteous deeds that are pleasing to You, and place me with Your Mercy with Your righteous servants”

May Allah (s.w.t.) grant us guidance to always show our gratitude for His favours and place us amongst His righteous servants who are always grateful. Amin. Ya Rabbal ‘Alamin.

Journey with Imam Ghazzali is an advanced level in-depth study and analysis of the Theological-Philosophical thoughts and works of Imām Al-Ghazzālī. This 30-week course will be led by two of Imam Ghazzali's books:
1) Al-Qawā’id Al-‘Aqā’id (The Principles of the Creed)
2) Al-Iqtiṣāḍ fī al-I’tiqād (The Moderation of Belief)
The lessons and discussions centered on these books will ignite discussions on the orthodox belief of Muslims - Principles of Creed and Moderation of Belief - beginning with a summary of the essence of creed before delving deeper with expositions of the topic and an insight into the relationship between Iman and Islam. Culminating into the fundamental understanding of how faith has been systematised into a logical argument. This will then be further expanded with new and more complex syllogistic arguments to posit the creed of orthodoxy between two extremes: excess and deficiency on relying on the intellect-reason.
The lessons that will be learnt during this course will provide a clear example to contemporary readers on the application of the principle of wasatiyyah to revelation and ‘aql in matters involving the creed._
Journey with Imam Al-Ghazzali 2022 will commence on the 9th of February, 2022. Registration is now open. Find out more about this course here: https://SimplyIslam.sg/ImamGhazzali2022
