FITDEEN



fitDeen is a Ground-Up Initiative (GUI) under NUSMS seeking to bridge spiritual and physical exploration. We intend to be a medium to spark God-consciousness in the NUS community while engaging in activities with a focus on the outdoors. ​


We aim to encourage the sunnah of reflections and foster God-consciousness by providing a safe space for participants to reflect on their personal experiences as well as contemplate and appreciate God's creations. Also, we intend to inculcate the habit of being mindful through the awareness of God and self-awareness of the heart and mind. ​


As fitDeen is an outdoor-based GUI, we aspire to push the participants out of their comfort zones so as to instill the spirit of adventure amongst the participants when they take part in our outdoor activities.

EVENTS IN AY 21/22



Aim: To reflect on the different interactions in our lives, in hopes of being more mindful of them. ​

  1. Human-Human Interactions
  2. Human-Nature Interactions
  3. Human-God Interactions


COMPANIONS



Companions is the first event of our Human Interaction series, with activities focused around the Human-Human interactions. Companions was based at MacRitchie Reservoir, in which participants participated in a 8.5km hike. The hike included curated stops whereby participants were encouraged to think about the Human-Human interactions in their lives, be it with their loved ones or strangers through partaking in our activities.


We ended Companions with our signature reflection session which was accompanied by fitDeen's reflection cards, with questions centred around the theme of this event, Human-Human interactions.



MANAR: A GUIDING LIGHT



Manar: A Guiding Light brings participants on a cycling and hiking adventure at Pulau Ubin, where they explore the island and immerse themselves in nature, doing activities that allow them to reflect on nature and its connection with Islam.


The event ends off with watching the sunset and a reflection session at Changi Beach. Our reflection session builds upon the first reflection session in Companions, with a special focus on reflecting on elements of nature and its meaning and purpose in our lives.



GUARDIANS



Guardians is a follow-up event of Human-Nature Interactions. While Manar focused on rekindling the love and appreciation for nature, Guardians takes a more active approach in giving back to nature. Through Guardians, participants took part in a kayak and clean up event, where they cleaned the reservoir at Jurong Lake Gardens.


Thereafter, participants were involved in a few writing activities, which encouraged them to reflect on the significance of the Reservoir clean up while reflecting on their actions towards nature thus far.



AREHNA: WHEN HEARTS FIND REST



The finale event of our Human-Interaction series, Arehna: When Hearts Find Rest allowed participants to experience nature as a means of reconnecting with the pillars of their Iman, through reflection and acts of worship as a community, all while building blessed companionships along the way. As our first overnight event, it offered participants a unique experience of performing Qiyam outdoors in nature.​



KAMPONG FITDEEN: THE BEGINNING



Kampong fitDeen is an initiative by fitDeen to encourage the community to get to know what fitDeen is about and in exchange allowing fitDeen to get to know the community better. This year, we released the first of our Kampong fitDeen events – Kampong fitDeen: The Beginning. Through this event, we invited participants to take a breather at West Coast Park from that mid-semester to end-semester hustle and kick off their Ramadhan goals.


Our participants forged bonds as they watched the beautiful sunset and had their reflection session under the open night sky of West Coast Park together.​
