In his opening address, the Chairman of MyGuide Malaysia set the tone for the conference, stating: “This gathering is more than just an international program — it is a journey of hearts united by the shared mission of strengthening faith, promoting knowledge, and spreading the beauty of Islam through wisdom and compassion.” RDC11 convened with these core objectives: To serve as a platform for sharing experiences, contemporary knowledge, and initiatives in dawah. To facilitate focused discussions on common issues regarding dawah and leadership capacity building within Islamic organisations in the region. To impart best practices for good governance, sustainable funding, and effective organisational management for dawah bodies. To explore concrete ways to enhance joint dawah efforts and strengthen the bonds of brotherhood among participants and their organisations. Over the three days at Hotel Seri Malaysia, delegates engaged in workshops, presentation of country reports, and participated in panel discussions aimed at translating these objectives into actionable plans. The exchange of innovative ideas and compassionate methodologies underscores the conference’s theme of unity and strategic cooperation. The organising committee extends its deepest gratitude to His Royal Highness The Raja of Perlis for his royal patronage and to all participants, speakers, and supporting bodies for their commitment to this noble cause. The connections forged and strategies developed at RDC11 are poised to create a positive and lasting impact on efforts to spread the beauty of Islam throughout the Asia Pacific region.

TOKYO, JAPAN – In a landmark event that bridged cultures, the hall of the International Islamia School Otsuka in Tokyo became the epicenter of a transformative dialogue on Waqf & Islamic Economics from October 18th to 19th, 2025.The Japan-Malaysia Baitul Mal, Waqf & Zakat Conference, co-organised by MyGuide Malaysia, the Japan Islamic Alliance, and IMAN Japan, successfully convened a diverse group of NGO leaders with a single, powerful mission: to build a sustainable future for da’wah in Japan.The conference was officially inaugurated by Hj Nicholas Sylvester, Chairman of MyGuide Malaysia, who set a tone of hope and collaboration. In his opening speech, he emphasized the universal values of compassion and community empowerment at the heart of Zakat and Waqf, urging for a cross-cultural application of these timeless principles.The intimate gathering of 40 participants, primarily comprising dedicated members of Japanese Islamic NGOs including Kyoichiro Sugimoto (CICC) and Haroon Qureshi (JIT). It was further graced by the presence of two delegates from the Philippines, Congressman Yusop T Alano and Chief Political Affairs Officer Mrs. Dayang Mirhama A. Jaljalis from Batasan Hills, Philippines. Day 1: A Masterclass in Waqf and EducationThe first day was a deep dive into the mechanics and miracles of successful Waqf models. Participants were treated to an intellectual feast, with insights from some of Southeast Asia’s renowned figures on waqf:• Prof. Dr. Hamid Fahmy Zarkasyi, Rector of UNIDA Gontor, Indonesia, illuminated the path with his presentation on Gontor as a Living Waqf example, showcasing how a visionary educational institution can be built and sustained for generations through the power of community trust and endowment.• Dr. Irfan Syauqi Beik from IPB University, Indonesia, provided a robust economic framework, detailing how modern Waqf management can fuel sustainable development and social welfare programs.• Pn Hjh Norpisah Mat Isa from Al Bukhary International University, Malaysia, shared inspiring case studies on corporate Waqf and its pivotal role in funding higher education, offering a blueprint for long-term Da’wah sustainability.While the technical and institutional models from Malaysia and Indonesia were incredibly valuable, the biggest takeaway that resonated was the critical need to return to the Islamic fundamentals of Waqf to truly meet the needs of the Ummah. Day 2: From Ideas to Action in the Land of the Rising SunBuilding on the momentum of Day 1, the conference shifted from theory to practice. The second day was dedicated to an intensive workshop, where ideas crystallised into tangible strategies. Facilitated by the co-organizing bodies, participants rolled up their sleeves to develop a concrete action plan for initiating a pilot Waqf institution in Japan.This conference was not just a meeting; it was the sowing of a seed. A seed of sustainable Da’wah, nurtured by the principles of Waqf and Zakat, planted firmly in the fertile soil of Japan. In our enthusiasm to establish a system in Japan, we must anchor it in the core principles of sincerity, Islamic brotherhood and perpetual benefit. When we focus on these fundamentals—the spiritual and social DNA of Waqf—the financial and structural success will follow, insha’Allah. This was the true gem of the conference: remembering that the most sustainable infrastructure for Dawah is one built on the bedrock of genuine, faith-driven compassion. The action plan for Japan must have this principle at its very heart.The journey has just begun, and the future looks bright.

Raya away from home, but not without love 💚✨ This Aidilfitri, Nasirah, Jamilah, and Hamidah, three Vietnamese students from Maahad Al Manar, were wrapped in the warmth of a new family in Melor, Kelantan 🇲🇾. Far from Vietnam 🇻🇳, yet so close to the feeling of home, thanks to the beautiful hospitality of Haji Wan’s family. The air was filled with the smell of rendang, the sounds of takbir, and the kind of laughter that bridges hearts. Dressed in matching kebarung, they shared stories, smiles, and sambal and for a moment, borders didn’t matter. Just love, belonging, and the true spirit of Raya 🕌

Breaking Barriers: MyGuide Malaysia and Nasyrul Quran’s Mission to Expand Quranic Access On the morning of 28th November 2024, a meaningful conversation unfolded at Nasyrul Quran, where MyGuide Malaysia representatives, Zainal Abidin Abdullah and Dr. Safwan sat down with Ustaz Muhammad Fadli Ismail, the General Manager of Nasyrul Quran. The air was filled with a shared sense of purpose, the mission to make the Quran accessible to more communities worldwide.   For years, language barriers have stood between millions of people and their connection to the Quran. But that is changing.   During the discussion, three key milestones were highlighted each marking a step toward making the Quran available to those who have never had the opportunity to read it in their native language.   As demand for the Quran grows in Southeast Asia, Nasyrul Quran is actively seeking translators for the Lao and Vietnamese languages. With the right expertise, these translations could soon bring the Quran to new communities longing for understanding.   After months of dedicated work, the Tagalog translation has been successfully completed. Now, copies are making their way across the Philippines, ensuring that more people can engage with the divine message in a language they truly understand.   The Nepalese translation is on the brink of completion, thanks to the collaboration between MyGuide Malaysia and Islami Sangh Nepal. To finalize this long-anticipated project, a follow-up meeting is scheduled at Yayasan Restu in Shah Alam on 29th November.  As the meeting wrapped up, one thing was clear, this is more than a project. It’s a movement. A commitment to ensuring that no one is left behind in accessing the words of the Quran.   Through collaboration, dedication, and faith, MyGuide Malaysia and Nasyrul Quran continue to break barriers, one translation at a time.   And this is just the beginning.
