NUSMS Muslimah Night is a biannual event which was last held two years ago in 2010. This year, we have decided to organise this event again, Muslimah Night 2012: Girls Night In: Midsummer Spectrum, as we recognised the need for Muslim women to come together as a whole community and appreciate Islamic teachings through the lens of a Muslim undergraduate woman. As female Muslims strive to gain knowledge about their religion and endeavours to increase their faith, there is one important issue that is often neglected which is Sisterhood in Islam. Therefore, discovering one's true self-worth as a woman and a Muslimah as well as the significance of sisterhood in Islam will remain our focus for this event.

During this event, several problems faced by Muslim women especially as undergraduates, will be briefly introduced. There will be a sharing of views, experiences and ways proposed to tackle them, which would be applicable to our daily life. We are aware of the importance of promoting a strong sisterhood amongst the Muslim undergraduate women and letting them discover their own self-worth and identity. The event will be a platform for women to share the obstacles and difficulties they face as an undergraduate and at the same time increase their knowledge about the Islamic faith and appreciate the spirituality of a Muslimah in a comfortable and friendly atmosphere.

Objectives:

1) To create an intellectually stimulating, intimate and emotional environment
2) Reach out to all Muslimahs
3) Discover ourselves
4) Foster sisterhood among sisters
5) Address modern issues that Muslimah undergraduates can relate to.
