Singapore: Philosophy of Madrasah Education System in the City-State

The Majlis Ugama Islam singapura (MUIS), a quasi-government institution task for the Muslim community has six (6) accredited madaris. The philosophy of their Madrasah education system is as follows:

1. An integrated effort to impart and acquire knowledge, skills and an internalisation of Islam based on the Qur’an and Sunnah in order to create a spiritually, intellectually and physically vibrant Muslim with a clear understanding of Islamic worldview.

2. An integrated effort to impart an understanding of the modern world, and life skills needed to be ahead in this new competitive environment.

3. An integrated curriculum designed to impart awareness of the student’s responsibility as future religious leaders striving for excellence for one’s own self and society for the attainment of the best of this world and the life Hereafter.

4. It is an education based on the following principles and beliefs:
  • That al-Qur’an and al-Sunnah (al-Wahy) and human reason (al-‘Aql) are strong foundation for knowledge and learning.
  • The development of the wholesome man (al-Insan al-Kulli), spiritually, morally, intellectually and physically.
  • That Islam is a mercy to mankind and strives for the attainment of success and happiness in this world and the hereafter.
  • On the integration of knowledge.
  • That each child is unique and endowed with potentials, having different inclinations and abilities.
