SPEECH BY HJ MOHD ALAMI MUSA

PRESIDENT MUIS

AT THE MOSQUE COUNCIL MEETING

SAT, 16 MAY 2009

AT AL-MAWADDAH MOSQUE

The Singapore Muslim community is generally homogeneous. Nearly all of them are from the “Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah” (Sunni) school of thought. A majority of them embrace the Shafi’e School of Law. Therefore, they share many things in common from the theological and jurisprudential perspectives. This has in many ways contributed to the unity of our local Muslim community in leading their Islamic life. This spirit of unity is further reinforced as the majority of Muslims share a common language and culture, as they are Malays.
