04 / PresidentÛs Message
In the name of God,the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
Peace!Ò— a Word (of salutation) from a Lord Most Merciful.(Translation of Surah Ya Sin, 36:58)
The past year was a memorable milestone in our questto share and uphold IslamÛs message of peace. Withthe celebration of SingaporeÛs golden jubilee, MCASalso marked its 35th year of serving the community.The festive, national atmosphere injected a refreshingspirit into our cause, evident in the new initiativesthat helped strengthen bonds and build the bridgesbetween communities, including our diverse groupof Converts.
The assimilation of people with various backgrounds,languages, and cultural values at MCAS, throughprogrammes such as social bonding and welfare, broughtforth the sense of cohesion that is symbolic of the
MCAS is truly grateful for the support and help renderedin its cause for the past 35 years. Moving forward,united as one, we seek AllahÛs compassion, mercy, andguidance to help us in our efforts to continue buildingthe bridges between communities, in our path towardsAllah (SWT). Your doÛa (supplication) for MCAS is alsoimportant for us, as we hope for the blessings of ourcause and our work to spread as wide and as furtheras they could, thoughtfully and beautifully as howProphet Muhammad (SAW) had shown us.
As we continue bridging the communities, InshaÛAllah,we shall remind each other:
And even if you have to turnaway from them in pursuit ofthe mercy from your Lord whichyou do expect, yet speak to thema word of easy kindness.Ò(Translation of Surah Al-IsraÛ, or The Night Journey, 17:28)
national harmony we experience in Singapore.Furthermore, through this integration, the support andgrowth for the new Muslims are fortified, thus bolsteringour efforts to add vigour into the Muslim communityat large.
Parallel to the efforts, MCAS is also galvanised byits aspiration to continue being relevant and reliableas provider of holistic education with English as themedium of instruction. Alhamdulillah, in 2015, MCASis blessed to have organised several more educationalcourses and daÛwah programmes that encouragedthe culture of learning, observing, and sharing themerits of Islam. These actions are fundamental stepstowards projecting the face of Islam that is oftenovercast due to the shadows of its misconceptions.Together with the progress in our understanding ofIslam, our shared values as a community of variouspeoples will become evident in practice and,InshaÛAllah, will prevail over the refuted opinionson Islam.

PROJECT TOUCHINGHEARTS (PTH)(BEFRIENDING SCHEME)
The PTH was a support programme piloted by the CDD for potentialConverts attending the BeginnersÛ Course on Islam (BCI). All Befrienderswho signed up for PTH underwent specialised training to help on issuesregarding conversion right through the process of embracing Islam.
In 2015, PTH conducted 3 weekday and 3 weekend Befriending Cycles.The weekend cycles saw positive and active participation from the BCIstudents. Befrienders assisted with the slide presentations and groupdiscussions.
PTH paved the way for the Befrienders to establish good rapport withthe students as it aimed to ensure that the prospective Converts andpartners have good social support at MCAS. It also encouraged themto attend other classes and workshops to benefit their journey in Islam.
PASTORAL CAREPROGRAMME (PCP)
The PCP was a Úpersonalised support systemÛ for thenew Converts that linked the Converts and the Muslimcommunity at large. When a Convert embraced Islam,a Befriender (also known as Mentor) was assigned toa new Convert to guide and to facilitate the ConvertÛsjourney as a new Muslim.
The Mentors channelled the Converts to theestablished resources of MCAS including: educationalservices, social events, financial assistance, counsellingservices, enrichment programmes, legal advice, andmore. The Mentors were empowered to lead basedon clusters: North Sector, East Sector, South Sector,West Sector, Central 1 Sector and Central 2 Sector,depending on the ConvertsÛ residence.
The Mentors, within their respective sectors, organisedsocial activities and bonding sessions in Mosques.The PCP programme hoped that these Convertswould extend their support to the other new Convertsin future.
In 2015, a total of 417 (62%) out of 670 Converts optedto be in the PCP.
