WELCOME TEA



Welcome Tea is an integral part of NUSMS’ calendar held at the start of Semester 1 for the incoming Muslim freshmen of NUS, serving as a platform through which we hope to reach out to the student community and spread awareness, as well as to spur interest in the freshmen such that they are inspired to be involved in our activities planned for the upcoming academic year.


Through Welcome Tea, we sought to provide opportunities for freshmen and seniors to interact and share ideas from past initiatives. Most importantly, we hope to create new and long-lasting bonds amongst freshmen.



ADHOC-SECCOMM INDUCTION



Upon the formation of the ad-hocs, the Adhoc-Seccom Induction was held over the recess break of Semester 1. This event hopes to allow ad-hoc and seccomm members to get to know one another, as well introduce the NUSMS Exco to the members.


This event was also a good opportunity to align the adhoc and seccomm members with the larger NUSMS direction, mission and vision, as well as to reiterate their belonging in NUSMS. Through the training sessions that were carried out by the 60th team and our guest speakers (Dr Rafi Rashid, prof Walid Jumblatt and Mr Aizat), this event aims to equip our members with the relevant information and skills that will substantiate their leadership term.



IMAN SERIES



​In Semester 1, the three-part Iman Series was an online initiative aimed to provide beneficial knowledge on the 6 pillars of Iman. The reflective and engaging in-depth sharing sessions were led by Ustazah Nur Hidayah Azman. Through this three-part series, we aim to gain a deeper understanding on the pillars of Iman as well as appreciate the wisdoms behind Allah SWT's creations, through meaningful hadiths and verses of the Quran.



UPHOLDING UKHUWAH
WINTER BONDING



During the winter break, the 60th organised a winter bonding event called "Upholding Ukhuwah", which aimed to foster stronger bonds between the Muslim students in NUS, through bonding activities. The participants had the opportunity to play kinball and zone soccer, amongst other bonding activities. The event ended with a prize-presentation session and a movie night for our participants to relax after a day of activities.



RAMADHAN IFTARAWIH



This year, Ramadhan coincides with the last few weeks of Semester 2. Given the removal of Covid restrictions, Iftarawih (Iftar + Tarawih) was held on a bigger scale this year. We had the honour of hosting the Mufti, Dr Nazirudin Mohd Nasir for the first Iftarawih event for a short tazkirah prior ro Maghrib. He spoke about the Quran and seeking Allah s.w.t. acceptance of our deeds, as well as some gems of guidance on how to rise to the challenges presented to us as students and Muslims. We also invited MSes from the different IHLs in Singapore, as we believed this was a good way for us to continue building great relationships with the Muslim students from other IHLs. This event received media coverage from local news outlet Berita Mediacorp, which showed that the event were well received by the community.


For our second Iftarawih, we aimed to focus on our community within NUS thus it was a more intimate session with slightly over 120 attendees. The event was even open to non-Muslims too which granted few the opportunity to understand Islam on a deeper level and experience the typical night activities of a Muslim in the fasting month.



RAMADHAN CIP



The Ramadhan CIP event provides a good platform for NUS Muslim students to give back to the community during the blessed month of Ramadan, and aimed to promote active volunteerism within our community.


Through a collaboration with Habitat For Humanity Singapore, we gathered around 20 participant volunteers who were paired with their regular volunteers, and guided through the whole process. Volunteers were tasked to clean and paint the homes of HFH’s current low-income elderly beneficiaries within the Kallang estate. By the end of the day, many were definitely tired, but conceded that it was indeed a fulfilling way to spend their day.



RAMADHAN SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN



Besides the physical events, the 59th Publicity Team also shared light about the blessed month of Ramadhan through interactive vlogs and informative posts. This includes informative posts on forms of worship we can do on days we cannot fast, as well as a day in the life of Muslim international students in NUS. This month-long initiative provided students and the public with a variety of beneficial lifelong knowledge and advices.
