Muis will be organising ICCOS to share and discuss positive narratives and characteristics of successful Muslim communities and their contributions to their wider society, including examples from Islamic history and contemporary societies. We hope that these discussions will contribute to the shaping of progressive religious leadership for Muslim minority communities and the development of contextualised bodies of knowledge to guide Muslims in responding effectively to complex socio-religious issues and challenges.
With the theme of “Contributing Citizens, Dynamic Institutions”, ICCOS will focus on how contextualised religious guidance, progressive religious leadership, and competent institutions can empower Muslims to live as dignified and contributing citizens and develop Muslim communities of success. It will entail discussions on the 3Cs embodied by Communities of Success – good Character, Competency and Citizenry.
ICCOS is held in conjunction with the International Conference on Cohesive Societies (ICCS), a 3-day programme which will be held from Tuesday, 6 September to Thursday, 8 September 2022. ICCS will feature speeches by renowned speakers from around the world, panel discussions and dialogues on faith, identity and cohesion. For more information, you can visit https://www.iccs.sg/.
