The Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS) is launching new programs to enhance religious guidance, spiritual care, and community help at mosques, aiming to cater to the evolving requirements of the Muslim community. These initiatives encompass appointing Mufti Associates in four mosque districts, devising an Islamic Spiritual Care and Guidance framework, and broadening community outreach via Qaryah networks, or local Muslim community groups. The plans were introduced during the One Mosque Sector Townhall on Saturday (Oct 10), which gathered roughly 350 mosque and Qaryah leaders and officials for a discussion with Acting Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs Zaqy Mohamad. Mr Zaqy also underscored the importance of preserving the trust placed in mosques and religious educators by families and youths.",
