To many people, “Islam” conjures up negative impressions of fundamentalists, intolerance and terrorism. To exacerbate the matter further, many Muslims out there claim theirs is the definitive version of Islam and that all others are wrong. This even becomes their justification to launch aggressive offensives against fellow Muslims and even non-Muslims.

Amidst all of these competing claims, what is Islam and what are its core teachings?

This talk, provides a shared platform for participants to navigate safely amidst such chaos. It will be a useful lecture both for Muslims and those curious about Islam, or those trying to find meaning of our times.

As such, we warmly invite you to join us at our Opening Ceremony where our distinguished speaker, Ustaz Saif Ur-Rahman from the Alchemy of Hippie-ness will be talking about "Islam, Amidst the Cacophony of Noises".

We have also lined up an Arabic Poetry performance, also known as a Qaseedah by the ever talented youths of Masjid Ar-Rabitah - Soutun Nur, which promises to be a treat to your ears!

Come, come as you are :)
