Their True Passion:

The Rahmatan Lil Alamin (RLA) or Blessings to All Committee was established by MUIS in 2005 for the Singaporean Muslim Community to radiate compassion and kindness to the poor, needy, and victims of disasters, regardless of their faith, race, or creed.

How They Began:

United with one cause, a gesture of fundraising goodwill for Aceh in the aftermath of the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami brought together the RLA Committee, representing all the mosques in Singapore.

Since the unprecedented Friday collection of over $550,000 for the tsunami victims, the Committee’s initiatives have continued to receive tremendous support from the Muslim community. The RLA Foundation (RLAF) was established in 2009 to further these aims. The inaugural launch of the RLA Foundation on 11 July 2009 was officiated by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.

Their Objectives:

• To promote and support activities & programs that project the Rahmatan Lil’ Alamin (RLA) “Blessings to All” spirit.
• To support the capacity building of community leaders, youth leaders, and volunteers through skills upgrading and training to undertake RLA projects.
• To promote better understanding and cultivate stronger bonds amongst people of various faiths in Singapore, aiming to strengthen inter-faith understanding and race relations in Singapore through humanitarian & community development work.
