BENEFITS:
1. Appreciate the rich heritage of Islam and thus instil a confidence in the Muslims to aim high and bring back the Glory.
2. Appreciate and feel motivated to excel in a multicultural environment, as despite an increasing number of peoples becoming Muslim at that time, the Jewish, Christian and other communities remained, and learn how the Arabic language slowly spread.
