Sout Ilaahi Group Pte Ltd

Established in 2010, Sout Ilaahi is an event management company, which aims to connect Muslims in Singapore with traditional scholars who are well-versed both in traditional sciences and contemporary social issues such as depression, stress management, loneliness, and anxiety. Sout Ilaahi focuses on creating awareness on social issues affecting the community, and providing better understanding on how it can be dealt with through mental, emotional and spiritual upliftment. By discussing topics such as domestic violence and sexual-physical abuse, which are seldom addressed within the community, Sout Ilaahi serves as a platform for the community to challenge age-old perceptions which tend to further aggravate situations and impede the way to finding solutions. Often, those facing such challenges do not know who to turn to or how they can gain inner strength to move on with their lives. Through open discussions and providing the community with the support they need to overcome the challenges they face, Sout Ilaahi hopes to provide a safe environment for them to express themselves. In 2017, Sout Ilaahi launched the #voiceout anti-domestic violence campaign aimed at raising awareness on the plight of domestic violence victims and how the public can help their family and friends who are facing it. Sout Ilaahi worked with several partners to also correct misconceptions on domestic violence in the Muslim community, specifically. Sout Ilaahi has also published three books: “Islam: Religion of Peace” and “Knowing Allah, Living Islam”. The author, Shaykh Tidiane Cisse, launched the book in the UK at the House of Lords. Our latest book, “Sacred Path of Love: Finding Meaning, Beauty and Identity” is available at Wardah Books. Our Audience Sout Ilaahi’s events attract people from all walks of life, from ex-gangsters, ex-inmates, LGBTs, single mothers, those facing mental health issues, and youths who are simply searching for greater depth in their personal relationships with God. Many participants of Sout Ilaahi events have given positive feedback on how it has been life-changing and has inspired them to be closer to God. Sout Ilaahi events have allowed them to realize the indispensability of self-care and spirituality in facing their problems in life. It is our hope and aspiration that our events will continue to serve as a bridge between society and the healing warmth of Divine Love and Light.
