ABOUT THIS PROFILE

The scope of this profile includes detailed explaination about the vision and the dream of

Islamic Outreach ABIM Centre (IOA) to become a premier da’wah body in Malaysia and

the region. Next, this profile highlights introduction to the members and volunteers who are

committed to contribute energy and followed with a presentation about IOA Centre core

programs in spreading Islam especially to converts and non-Muslims.

In addition to those purposes, we also hope that it will be able to attract the attention and

interest of the community to participate in this noble effort so as to give greater impact to

the world community at large to spread the message of Islam. Since its inception in 1987, we

have seen the need to fill the vacuum in conveying the Islamic message, especially to non-

Muslims. As a non-governmental and non-profit organization, IOA Centre depended on full

contribution and close support from individual, government departments, corporations,

NGOs, mosque/surau committees and also other institutions that are willing to help.

IOA CENTRE PROFILE

The approach used by the IOA Centre is to mix with the local community, particularly

mothers and children. Among the activities undertaken such as ziarah (visiting) series

and several programs conducted with the ‘mothers’ through cooking classes, sewing

and craft skills. Most of the residents in this tribe are made up of children and only a

small number go to the school, the rest have neither interest nor exposure to formal

schooling system. Volunteers of IOA Centre took this opportunity to help the children

by teaching them using the standard curriculum. For Muslim children, the basic

foundations of religion and the recitation of the Qur'an would be the main focus of

learning.

We hope that the ongoing visit of volunteers IOA Centre to the village will bring joy,

hope and knowledge especially to children since they are the future of this country.

We hope to introduce good environment awareness and the adoption of a better life

and healthy lifestyle.

5. Syahadah Fund Project

In 2011, the Syahadah Program was introduced at Masjid Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin,

Putrajaya for the first time after Friday prayer. On the same day, volunteers distributed

flyers about IOA Centre, membership form and contribution form of RM5.00 each to

fund the Syahadah Project. When the fund is full, it will be surrendered to the convert

and IOA Centre.

IOA Centre also took proactive steps to launch the charity fund and the development

of the Muslim brothers or simply named "Tabung Syahadah IOA Centre" or IAO Centre

Syahadah Fund. This Fund will provide a steady source of funding to help Muslim

converts in learning, easing the burden of daily life and provide capital to start

business.

The new converts are in need of support from the Muslim community to allow them to

serve actively in the community. Thus, IOA Centre also took several steps to educate

the Muslim community to be concerned with the challenges faced by the Muslim

converts. Syahadah Awareness program were organized in masjids where Muslim

brothers will recite the Syahadah after Friday prayers and will be witnessed by

members of the locals. This program aims to provide exposure to the community on

the importance of the strength of the Islamic brotherhood throughout the community.

The locals will then help the converts of their daily life as a true Muslim.

dai’e as a competent dai’e of IOA Centre in future and they will be sent to places

that requires the services of preachers in a long run. In addition, IOA Centre also

intends to undertake a major role in creating a Hub, as well as creating a da’wah

training and research center which is called Regional Islamic Da’wah Centre (PDIS) to

formulate an effective da’wah plan. The program expanded and established an

international network of information and suggestions for the development of

knowledge in the field of da’wah that can be shared with each other. It is to produce

the next generation of dai’e who committed, competent, and competitive.

In terms of sociology, each country has different backgrounds in terms of ways of

preaching to the local community. It is the task of PDIS to create collaboration and

suitable preaching method to fellow humans without giving rise to a conflict between

religions in a plural society. Among the objectives of this program are:

1. Forming a da’wah institution which is collaborative and comprehensive in the

mission of conveying the Islamic message in the present and future.

particularly in the aspect of culture.

relevant resources or reference materials to supplement their knowledge before

doing any da’wah mission. In addition, all research or field work will be kept as a

source of reference in case there is any violation of information from irresponsible

parties.

The main functions of the information center are:

a. Act as an information reference centre to interested parties, especially the

dai’e of all Islamic organizations and the government before doing

da’wah activities.

b. Become a one-stop centre for collaboration of different parties with the

purpose of da’wah discussions.

This information centre will create a network of information from existing

information taken from many sources such as the mainstream media, printed

media, websites and others. It also provide a variety of methods that can be

explored in delivering Da’wah.

2. Islamic Training Centre

Da’wah Training Centre is very significant in an organization because it's

necessary to produce leaders or dai’e to continue the works of the organization.

The role of PDIS is vital in order to provide training to the dai’es before entering the

field work. Specific training is very important when learning about the theory of

implementation. The objectives of creating the PDIS are:

a. To produce skilled dai’e and competitive in delivering da’wah.

20

IOA CENTRE PROFILE

9. Family Buddy Program

Family-buddy program introduced by the IOA Centre that is often heard off, but rarely

we see such a program being well-received from the Muslim community in general.

The Program would like to invite Muslims to understand priority in educating and

guiding the newly Converts towards understanding their religious.

This program is to empowered the Converts to see the essence of our religion. With this

program, it can be seen as Uslub Bil Hal to make them well-suited in the new

environment by having another muslim to help them build up their characters and the

challlege in real life.

In addition, the role of the program is to ensure that the Converts could reserved their

new faith and ease the burden or pressure they had to face as a muslim. The program

is dedicated to all Converts in the country or abroad.

The program was introduced as a system to the Muslim community who are interested

to be a foster family with IOA Center in an effort to develop, guide and empower faith

and piety among the Converts. Each foster family will be given guidelines on how to

be an adoptive families or individuals. Hopefully this program will be able to mak

ethem realize the objective of building a society that is conscious of Allah swt.

CONCLUSION

Allah says in the Quran :

“The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed [of

grain] which grows seven spikes; in each spike is a hundred grains. And Allah multiplies

[His reward] for whom He wills. And Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing.”

[ Al-Baqarah, 1 : 261]

IOA Centre continues to grow and is currently expanding its da’wah works in this

region. It also creates various initiatives and efforts designed to further strengthen the

position of Islam in this country. Efforts to promote and show the image of an Islamic

society in the country should be further enhanced, especially in a world without

borders. IOA Centre always double all efforts and determination to glorify the life of

this world with the appreciation of Islam as a way of life and spread the message of

peace and harmony.

It is hoped that this prophetic mission cab be continued by those who is enlighten,

understand, determine and who is willing to establish cooperation toward this efforts

which is blessed and assisted by Allah. Indeed, Allah is with those who are patient.
