Make a Donation:
Rasulullah s.a.w. said:
"A man giving a dirham as sadaqah (charity) during his life is better than giving one hundred dirhams as sadaqah (charity) at the moment of his death." (Abu Dawud)

MIQ provides opportunities for all to make a mark in their lives through sadaqah. It is a matter of simple planning and rearranging our priorities to be able to stay within the league of givers, even during harsh economic times.

Every single contribution, no matter how small, will go a long way in helping MIQ achieve its mission and vision, through projects and programs - solely for the benefit of the ummah.

Make a donation - on your own behalf or that of a loved one. Let's hasten towards goodness.

You can make your contributions at the MIQ counter office during opening hours by cash, cheque or Nets. For other modes, please call us at 62814287.

MIQ needs your support for the following projects and programs:

 
Projek Peningkatan Prasarana (Mosque Infrastructure Upgrading Project)

During the 4 years since it began operation, based on exhaustive in-house studies, it was found that certain areas in the mosque require upgrading or repair. These are:

* awning all around the perimeter of level 1
* ceramic tiling on the entire car park area
* permanent shoe racks strategically located near the entrances
* renovation of entire rooftop
* others incl. plumbing system, fencing, etc.

The renovation works have been deliberately lumped into a single project to minimise cost and timed to be of as little inconvenience as possible to the students and general jemaah of the mosque.

In all, the project costs about $350,000.

Indeed, this necessary project is being undertaken purely in the jemaah's best interest. As such, MIQ relies heavily on the direct support of the jemaah for its funding.

The breakdown above will provide donors with the opportunity to select their 'jariah sector' for specific dividends of their spiritual investments (e.g. if a donor specifies his contribution as part of the funding for ceramic tiling of the car park area, he will surely get the thawab everytime the area is used for syarahans, iftar, etc.). On the other hand, donors may simply wish to give on a generic basis.

Either way, MIQ hopes the jemaah will play a major role in the success of this project.

For further information on this project, please call Cik Supiyah Abdul Rahman or En Shahruddin Sogol at 62814287 or email info@alistiqamah.mosque.org.sg

 
'Rakan Masjid' Project (Friends of MIQ)

The 'Rakan Masjid' Project reaches out to just about anyone within the community not necessarily within the vicinity of the mosque. It invites corporate firms of any size, families and individuals to be an integral part of the fund development unit of MIQ by pledging a stated amount to the MIQ fund on a monthly basis.

Not only will participants not feel the apparent "pinch" normally associated with unplanned contributions, but also be able to uphold the hadith that enjoins constancy in deeds, viz.

"The deed loved most by Allah is that which is consistent even if it be a little."

This is made possible through the MIQ computerised Giro payment system established in late 2002. Donors in this scheme need only submit a completed MIQ Giro form and state the amount and regularity pledged.

The MIQ Giro form is available at the counter office or can be mailed on request. For the on-line version (PDF format), click here.

For further information on this donation scheme, please call Cik Arni Maksom or En Sahlan Siregar at 62814287 or email info@alistiqamah.mosque.org.sg

Kad Rawal (Ramadan/Shawwal Donation Drive)

This is a yearly project launched just before Ramadan to collect donations to supplement the fund that is set aside for the Education department. In line with its mission statement, MIQ places priority in providing a high standard of education for its jemaah. The fees imposed on the students participating in the various courses and classes are not expected to make a profit against the expenses involved. MIQ therefore relies on the good graces of the jemaah and public not only to give, but to assist by spreading the donation card around.

Although the project is so-named, it normally extends to well beyond Shawwal, even close to the next Ramadan.

The Rawal donation cards are available at the MIQ counter office between 8:30 am - 10:30 pm. Simply provide your name, NRIC no, address and contact number.

For further information on this project, please call Cik Siti Sainab Abdul Wahid or Hjh Zuraida Mustafa at 62814287 or email info@alistiqamah.mosque.org.sg
 
 
General MIQ Fund

The costs of operating the mosque may be categorised into the following:

  • Administration - MIQ is one of the few mosques in Singapore to operate its administration office for the jemaah 7 days a week (including public holidays) from 8:30 am to 10:30 pm. This is to facilitate the consummation of transactions such as zakat payment, registration for courses, fees payment, item sales and even general enquiries during hours convenient to the jemaah.
  • Utilities - Although the Muslim population in the surrounding area of MIQ is considered low-moderate, its daily programs attract jemaah from all over the island, making the power and water usage high.
  • Others- Regular, seasonal and 'one-off' activities, refreshments, allowances, etc.
 
 
Ramadan Fund

Every year for Ramadan, MIQ provides the following for the jemaah:

  • Bubur Ramadan - Cost: $500 per day for the entire month.
  • Buka Puasa - Cost: $300 per day for the entire month.
  • Sahur - Cost: $450 per day for the last 10 days of the month.
  • Miscellaneous - Imam terawih/asatizah allowance, additional refreshments, technical equipment, etc.

For further information on the Ramadan funds, please call Cik Supiyah Abdul Rahman or En Abdul Rahman Kassim at 62814287 or email info@alistiqamah.mosque.org.sg

 
 
Sponsorship for MIQ Newsletter ('Suara Al-Istiqamah')

The free quarterly MIQ newsletter ('Suara Al-Istiqamah') is into its fourth year of publication and has proven to be a major channel of communication between the mosque administration and the jemaah.

Among the contents are religious articles, reports on the different departments, calendar of events, and even contests.

It costs about $2,500 to produce each issue of SI, with a circulation of 5,000 copies.

Again, in terms of funding, MIQ hopes this will be a direct 'for-the-jemaah-by-the-jemaah' project, with MIQ acting as the middle party. Its only other source of income for this project is through advertisement which can cover only about 10-15% of the cost.

For further information on this project, please call Hj Mohd Saat Matari or Hj Sahlan Siregar at 62814287 or email
