Jamiah Naleemiah al Islamiyyah

Dr. Muhammad Ali Syukri, Principal of Jamiah Naleemiah

In front of the Auditorium

Jamiah Naleemiah is the leading Islamic academic institution in Sri Lanka established in 1973 and it fulfills the important need of the Ummah for an integrated system of Islamic education which incorporates Islamic studies along with modern disciplines. The educational objectives, the curriculum and the academic programme has been planned with the objective of producing a band of scholars who have the academic background, intellectual vision, moral training and spiritual strength to provide a dynamic Islamic leadership to the Muslim community. In 1996 it was accorded a membership in the Federation of the Universities of the Islamic World (FUIW).

Alhamdulillah, we had the opportunity to visit the university and had a discussion with the principal, Dr. Muhammad Ali Syukri. We were being explained about the foundation of the university, it's history and achievements, and also it's objectives, vision and mission. Apart from that, we also discussed about Syeikh Yusof al-Makassari and Dr Muhammad Ali is interested in collaborating with GPTD to organize a seminar on Syeikh Yusof al-Makassari.

Penyerahan Buku Dr. M.S. Jaldeen

17 February 2009 - Alhamdulillah, saya (Najwa) dan Syah telah menyelesaikan satu amanah daripada Dr. M.S. Jaldeen untuk menyerahkan dua buah buku karangan beliau yang berjudul "The Muslim Law of Succession Inheritence & Waqf in Sri Lanka" dan "The Muslim Law of Marriage Divorce and Maintenance in Sri Lanka" kepada pihak Perpustakaan Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia (UIAM). Buku-buku tersebut adalah pemberian daripada Dr. M.S. Jaldeen sendiri semasa kami bertemu dengan beliau dalam satu majlis yang dianjurkan oleh pihak COSLAM (Confederation of Sri Lankan Malay) di Colombo, November tahun lepas. Kami juga turut menerima buku daripada beliau untuk kami sendiri. Semoga ilmu yang dicurahkan di dalam buku tersebut dapat dimanfaatkan oleh warga UIAM.

Latest Progress

First of all we would like to thank all the contributors and those who donated for our Voluntary Mission to Sri Lanka. As for now, we are able to get sufficient fund for the ticket. But for our pocket money, it is still in progress. Hope we are able to have enough pocket money in case of emergency. May Allah preserve us from any problem which may distract our mission there.

Currently, our flight is delayed to the 15th of November due to some technical problem. That is the finalized date and we really hope that there would not be any more delay. We are also indebted to our new Sri Lankan Malay frens, Ameen (MMU) and Ayeshah (Sunway College) for helping us getting much cheaper ticket rate wich saved us RM500 per ticket.


Earlier before, we had made some discussion regarding our mission. Currently, they are here for their studies. Ameen is taking Master in Knowledge Management, while his sister is studying at the Sunway college, taking ACCA (Certified Accountant Course). We had a very great discussion with them and they shared a lot of information regarding the Malay community in Sri Lanka. We know briefly the demography in terms of social, economics, and politics. So far, we know that we have a big responsibility to bring the Malay community in Sri Lanka back to the original teaching of Islam and to the culture of Malay itself. The Malay culture and Islam itself has been blended with the cultures and religions in Sri Lanka.

Besides, we also had a language class with bro Ahmad, a Sri Lankan student who is currently studying in IIUM. We are very thankful to him for being such a helpful person especially when it comes to the basic knowledge about Sri Lanka. Ahmed shared his experience of living as a Sri Lankan Malay and gave a lot of information about his country. And he tought us the Sinhala language. Thus, we know how to greet people of Sri Lanka when we meet them, we know how to count in sinhalese language, and lots of new things. Credit to Ahmed! We will see you in Colombo soon!

The discussion with those Sri Lankan people is mainly on the issues on how we can help or contribute to the Malay society. We would like to leave something useful that can be practiced by the communities once we leave Sri Lanka. Our mission is to grab lots of information about the Malay community in Sri Lanka and find the best way to help them. Especially in the development of their youth. In the future, we would like to bring potential Sri Lankan Malay youths to Malaysia to be trained by ABIM to be a qualified da'ie. These youths will have proper training to develop the practices of Islam among Malay society and preserve the custom of our decent Malay life in Sri Lanka.

This is not a short-term or 'touch-n-go' type of program. This mission has a really big goal in achieving the development of the youth and strengthening the Muslim. So, we would like to have your support, physically and spiritually.

We have two more days to countdown. This Friday we will be having an Induction course with the chairman of Grup Pengkaji Tamadun Dunia, Bro. Jufitri Joha. We pray for Allah's guidance throughout this mission. May Allah bless us and all of the Muslims around the world. Insya-Allah!

Till we meet again. We will be updating our blog regularly. Keep on track with us ok!

Assalamualaikum!

Need More Fund

Assalamualaikum to all visitors. We are now running short of time. Just another six days left for us to prepare and make the Voluntarily Mission to Sri Lanka a succeed. We are now struggling to get as many sponsor as we can but yet, we are still short of about RM 10,000. Seems like we might have problem if we cannot get the money prepared before the day we depart.

As we are now (all of us) also struggling for our final examination in International Islamic University Malaysia, it is somehow make the move to search for the sponsor quite slow. But then does not mean we dont work out at all. It is just we might have some difficulties in arranging our time between study and searching for potential sponsor. On top of that, we are still believe that we are able to give our full commitment for this mission.

We are really want to make this mission as a succeed! And we need you out there to help us and be part of our success.

All the best, and wish all of you in healthy condition.
