Alhamdulillah, the Shariah Intelligence program was successfully held on 25 to 26 October 2025 at the Dawah Academy International Hall in Wangsa Maju, Kuala Lumpur. Organized by the Interactive Dakwah and Tarbiyah Association (IDT), the two-day course brought together professionals, educators, and da’wah practitioners to explore how Shariah principles can be applied in today’s fast-moving world.

The program was led by Sheikh Nuruddeen Lemu, Director of Research and Training at the Islamic Education Trust in Nigeria, Sister Salatu Sule, Director of Beyond Academic at New Horizon College in Minna, and Brother Lim Jooi Soon, Founder and main trainer of IDT. They guided participants through thoughtful and practical discussions on how Shariah functions as a comprehensive guidance system rooted in justice, mercy, and balance. The sessions focused on the Maqasid al-Shariah and how these principles can shape governance, education, business, and interfaith engagement.

40 participants joined the program, coming from both Malaysia and overseas. Among them were lecturers from the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM), two officers from the Majlis Ugama Islam dan Adat Resam Melayu Pahang (MUIP), four participants from Al Ikhsan Sports, and several others from various organisations. The program also welcomed international attendees, including a participant from the Her Highness Organisation in Sri Lanka and several participants from the Philippines and as well as the director and officer from AMCF (Asia Muslim Charity Foundation), Indonesia. Their presence added valuable global insights that enhanced the overall learning experience.

By the end of the program, participants gained a clearer and more confident understanding of Shariah, not only as theory but as a living framework they can apply meaningfully in their personal, professional, and da’wah work. The Shariah Intelligence program continues IDT’s mission to nurture leaders who represent Islam with wisdom, compassion, and integrity.

Alhamdulillah, on 11–12 October 2025, IDT organized the Intensive Da’wah Training at the IDT Centre in Wangsa Maju, Kuala Lumpur. A total of 30 participants joined this two-day program aimed at strengthening their understanding of da’wah and preparing them to share Islam effectively and confidently. Unlike a typical lecture-based course, the training was interactive and hands-on. Participants learned the Creator vs Creation method presented by Bro Lim Jooi Soon, which helps explain the concept of God in a logical and comparative way. They also learned how to answer common questions often asked by non-Muslims about Islam, a crucial skill for effective da’wah. Each participant memorized and practiced the Creator vs Creation method, then delivered their da’wah presentation in front of the class within 5 to 10 minutes. Some even volunteered to speak in public, showing great courage and enthusiasm.

The sessions helped participants build confidence, improve communication skills, and develop clarity in conveying the message of Islam. Throughout the training, they supported and encouraged one anotbarakahnding motivation and personal growth in the process. It was not just a learning experience but also a journey of self-development that nurtured sincerity, wisdom, and strategic thinking. The Intensive Da’wah Training served as a platform to shape future da’wah ambassadors, equipped with both knowledge and practical skills to represent Islam with integrity. May Allah bless all the participants and grant success and barakah in their da’wah journey.

Empowering Da’wah Leaders with Confidence and Clarity

The three-day program, which ran from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM daily, gathered 43 participants who were eager to strengthen their da’wah and communication skills. Designed for da’wah leaders, educators, and activists, the course aimed to help participants share Islam more effectively with wisdom, clarity, and confidence. Many people have valuable knowledge to share but struggle to express it clearly or connect with their audience. This program provided participants with the skills, techniques, and mindset to overcome those challenges. The training was conducted by Sheikh Nuruddeen Lemu, Director of Research and Training at the Da’wah Institute of Nigeria and Brother Lim Jooi Soon, President of Interactive Dakwah and Tarbiyah Association.

Among the participants were high-profile individuals and experienced educators. Ustaz Fitri Abdullah, the leader of PERKIM Selangor, and Brother Shah Kirit, President of Unity, joined the program. Lecturers from universities such as USIM and IIUM also attended. Their presence added depth to the discussions and allowed participants to benefit from a variety of perspectives and experiences. Throughout the training, participants engaged in discussions, interactive activities, and practical exercises. Each session encouraged teamwork, reflection, and active participation. Participants gained hands-on experience in delivering presentations, responding to questions, and applying effective communication strategies for da’wah. The program helped them develop confidence, clarity, and a stronger ability to share Islam in meaningful ways. By the end of the course, participants had acquired both knowledge and practical skills. They left motivated to represent Islam with sincerity, wisdom, and professionalism. The Training of Trainers 2025 served as a platform to cultivate future da’wah ambassadors who are equipped to carry the message of Islam with integrity and understanding. IDT hopes to continue offering programs that inspire, educate, and empower those committed to sharing the message of Islam.

Alhamdulillah, on 18 and 19 October 2025, IDT successfully organized the Women’s Fiqh: Empowering Muslim Women course at the Dawah Academy International Hall in Wangsa Maju, Kuala Lumpur.

The course was led by Sister Salatu E. Sule, Director of Beyond Academic at New Horizon College in Minna, Nigeria. She shared her extensive knowledge and experience in education and da’wah, guiding participants through practical discussions and clear explanations about how Islam uplifts and protects women.

Throughout the sessions, participants explored key topics such as purity, prayer, family life, and personal conduct. The atmosphere was lively and engaging, with participants asking thoughtful questions and reflecting on how the principles of women’s fiqh apply in their daily lives. The interactive approach helped them appreciate the wisdom behind each ruling and understand how Islam promotes justice, compassion, and dignity for women. Many participants shared that the course gave them a renewed sense of clarity and confidence in practicing their faith. By the end of the two days, they not only gained knowledge but also developed a stronger commitment to applying what they had learned in their personal and community lives.

IDT hopes that every participant will continue to build upon what they have learned, becoming voices of truth and compassion in their own communities. IDT believes that true da’wah begins with understanding, sincerity, and the courage to engage with people where they are. Through programs like this, participants not only gain knowledge but also learn the art of presenting Islam with empathy, clarity, and relevance to the realities of modern life.

Both sides also discussed the potential for a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to formalize the partnership and the possibility of official endorsement from UNISIRAJ for IDT programmes.

Shared Vision and Hopes

During the meeting, Prof. Dr. Asyraf Isyraqi emphasized that Islamic education should not remain only at the level of theory. He explained that true learning happens when knowledge is practiced and lived. Students should be able to apply what they learn with sincerity, wisdom, and purpose, becoming individuals who think critically, act with integrity, and contribute positively to the ummah.

From IDT, Bro Lim Jooi Soon shared his vision for a collaboration that brings together ‘ilm (knowledge) and ‘amal (action). He expressed his hope that this partnership will nurture both local and international students to become confident and sincere da’wah leaders who serve their communities wholeheartedly.

Both IDT and UNISIRAJ share the same aspiration to develop a new generation of Muslim scholars and leaders who uphold Islamic values, respond wisely to modern challenges, and bring lasting benefit to the ummah and society.

4–5 October 2025 | Dawah Academy International Hall, Wangsa Maju

Alhamdulillah, the Klinik Solat organized by Interactive Dakwah & Tarbiyah (IDT) was successfully held over two meaningful days at Dawah Academy International Hall, Wangsa Maju. The response was beyond expectation, with 78 participants joining actively. The hall was filled with enthusiasm, reflection, and a strong desire to improve in both knowledge and practice. Participants came from diverse backgrounds, united by a common goal, which is to rediscover salah as a true connection with Allah that brings peace, focus, and strength in daily life.

The first day, led by Ustazah Nurshahirah, featured two impactful sessions:

Wangsa Maju, Malaysia | September 2025

Alhamdulillah, the Deen Reloading sessions continued throughout September with consistent attendance of around 15 to 30 participants every Tuesday night. More than just classes, these weekly gatherings became a place for reflection, learning, and spiritual renewal. Participants explored key aspects of Islamic faith and practice, gaining both knowledge and personal insight.

The first session, Islam, Muslim and Fitrah by Bro Lim Jooi Soon, reminded everyone that Islam is the natural way of life that fits the human nature. He explained how every person is born with an inclination toward the Creator and how recognizing this fitrah helps one distinguish between the Creator and creation.

The second session, The Pillars of Faith and Islam by Ustaz Mohd Abdullah, covered the foundations of belief and worship, highlighting how the six pillars of faith and five pillars of Islam bring structure, meaning, and mercy to a Muslim’s life. He focused on the significance of Hajj and Umrah, explaining their spiritual depth and connection to the history of Islam.

In the third and fourth sessions, Living the Pillars of Islam and The Spirit Behind the Pillars, Bro Lim reminded participants that the pillars of Islam are not just rituals but spiritual training that builds character, sincerity, and compassion. True worship, he emphasized, should touch the heart and strengthen one’s relationship with Allah and the community.

The final session, A Journey to Islam, was personal and touching. Bro Lim shared his own story of discovering Islam — the struggles, questions, and peace that came with his shahadah. His story reminded everyone that Allah guides hearts in different ways and that each person’s journey to faith is a sign of His mercy.

Overall, the September sessions of Deen Reloading offered both knowledge and heartfelt reflection. From learning about faith and worship to hearing a story of personal transformation, participants left with a stronger sense of iman, a renewed purpose, and a clearer understanding of Islam as a way of life. At IDT, we hope that every participant leaves these sessions with a stronger sense of iman, a renewed purpose, and the confidence to practice Islam with sincerity. Our vision is to nurture Muslims who live their faith fully in worship, in daily actions, and in their role as part of the wider community.

WANGSA MAJU, 6 September 2025 – Interactive Dakwah and Tarbiyah (IDT) organized a special lecture under the Celebrate Knowledge Series entitled Srikandi Islam: Teladan Wanita dalam Sirah. The program, held at Dawah Academy International Hall, brought together 51 participants eager to rediscover the timeless legacy of Muslim women whose stories continue to inspire faith and courage.

The lecture was delivered by Dr. Jefri Irwan Harris, Deputy Chairman of IDT, on Saturday evening from 8:30 to 10:30 PM. Through captivating storytelling, he highlighted the exemplary lives of three remarkable women in Islamic history: Umm Waraqah, Asma’ bint Abu Bakr, and Umm Ayman.

Umm Waraqah – The Martyr at Home

Known as a woman of wealth, knowledge, and devotion, Umm Waraqah approached the Prophet ﷺ before the Battle of Badr with the wish to attain martyrdom. The Prophet ﷺ prophesied that she would indeed achieve it, though not on the battlefield.

She dedicated her life to the Qur’an, worship, and night prayers until she was eventually remembered as Ash-Shahida (the Martyr).

Asma’ bint Abu Bakr – The Woman of Two Belts

In the tense moments of the Prophet’s ﷺ migration to Madinah, Asma’ demonstrated extraordinary courage. She carried provisions to the Cave of Thur, tearing her waistband in two to tie the supplies.

This act of bravery earned her the title Zat al-Nitaqayn (the Woman of Two Belts). Beyond her courage, she was also known for her eloquence and narration of hadith.

Umm Ayman – A Mother After My Mother

Once a servant, Barakah al-Habashiyyah, or Umm Ayman, was embraced by the Prophet ﷺ as family. After the passing of his parents, he regarded her as a mother figure, saying:

“She is my mother after my own mother.”

Her faith and sacrifice earned her a lasting place among the honoured women of Islam.

Their lives teach us:

Courage is found not only in war but in knowledge and worship.
Sacrifice can take many forms — from provisions for a journey to lifelong service.
Faith and sincerity are the true measures of honour, beyond status or lineage.

Through this program, participants were reminded that the role of women in Islam is far from passive. They have always been pioneers, teachers, and protectors of the faith.

With these lessons, IDT hopes that Muslims today, both men and women, will draw renewed strength from the legacy of these heroines. Their stories are a source of inspiration for us to live with deeper faith, greater resilience, and sincere devotion to Allah. May future generations continue to carry this light forward, walking the path of knowledge, courage, and sacrifice.
