NasiBriyani lounge.com: - Ask question to real people with real answers! http://www.nasibriyanilounge.com
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are proud of our members!

It blows me away when i see members on our website getting their question answered while each member forming the support network to each other one in their daily life. Even if the question can be about finding a nice place to dine or something more serious like a problem marriage members are readily there to answer in one way or another.

Our society lacks that interaction these days ironically as more hi-tech equipment are being invented for more communication between people. We forget the beauty in humanity as we are engulf with work, trying to find money and supporting the family, that we forget that humans are all one and we feel each other's struggle. There is something bigger then just us and our suffering. We assume that people don't care or can't help out, but if the community come together to work together as one, that would solve a lot of our current problem that we are facing in this modern times.

Our recently accepted answer on our website about :"A Hindu boyfriend converting to Islam. Issues with last rites in hindu culture" for example shows that our community Think Share and Help.

We will like to thank members for being there for supporting each other in giving opinion, suggestion to questions. That's what makes NasiBriyani lounge site worth every effort to keep expanding on.

Please feel free to contact us for feedbacks and suggestion. We will like to hear from you on how we can improve our site further.

W'salaam.

Arts and Cultural Exhibition promoting Muslims and Muslim talents in Singapore

Intro:

We are organising an arts and cultural exhibition in Singapore promoting Muslims and Muslim talents, like painters, photographers, sculptures, music, short movies or even a theatre production .Other organisation I’ve spoken to suggested lawyers, counsellors, doctors providing free consultation etc. This exhibition will allow Muslims in Singapore to express themselves using a different medium which other people (Muslim and non-Muslim) can relate to.
Ideas on different booth section:

We can have a section on the religious side of islam and probably an ‘imaam’ to answer any queries. Then, we have the Arts/ theatre and History section, Professional section (like lawyers, doctors, Islamic banking, free counselling etc…), Muslim Fashion and music from some Muslim contemporary singers/ Nasheed singers. (ie Taufik Batisah, Raihan,etc)

Venue intend: Singapore Expo
Name of event: (open to suggestion)
Proposed Date of event: December 2007

We would like to gather individuals and organisation/ businesses that shares our idea and would like to support or sponsor us in organising this fun and fresh project. I planned to have this exhibition to be broadcast in the main news (channel 5,etc) and newspapers (straits times, etc). . Please let me know your feedback (bad or good) And lets join together in making this idea a reality. Perhaps you may have additional ideas?

I feel that the Muslim society have been trying to hide their identity to avoid stereotyping or they are ashamed of who they are. Singapore society as a whole ( Muslims and non-Muslims) have little knowledge of what Muslim are and this exhibition will allow them to gain information within the safe space created while getting to know who Muslims are without the frustration of misrepresentation in the media. It will expose us Muslim to everyone else and not just among ourselves which we have been doing for many years.

We are inviting you guys for:-

- feedbacks
- sponsors
- more groups/ individual to join us in organising this event

Please post your comments here>>

What are Muslims attitude towards fasting month..

Question: by Fariz

With one day to go before Ramadan, the muslim fasting month starts. Singapore muslims would be busy buying home decor, new clothes and festive cookies call 'kuih' at Geylang Serai, the Muslim hub for getting all the goodies in preparation for the Hari Raya (shawwal) celebrations. As compared with other cultures, Singapore muslims are the ones who puts more importance in celebrating Hari Raya (shawwal) rather then giving importance in celebrating Ramadan itself.


What are your opinions/ feedback on Muslim attitude towards this fasting month?

Are muslims focusing on Hari Raya preparation rather than making more deeds during fasting month?

Do you think that people breaking fast with too many dishes or by over-spending ?

Is taraweh prayer (night prayer during Ramadhan) a recommended practise by muslims?

This is your community, your voice!!
