SalamSG TV aims to enhance the community’s Ramadhan spiritual experience and strengthen the psychological resilience of the community. The channel also enhances one of the key Ramadhan messages from Mufti Dr Nazirudin Mohd Nasir, that the community can still observe a meaningful Ramadhan by retaining the spirit of the community, and to continue seeking knowledge through alternative means with asatizah online.
“Salam” (سلام) is a common greeting that Muslims use to greet family and friends, and means “peace” in Arabic. In the Malay language, “salam” refers to the shaking of hands as a gesture of respect, honour, the warmth of relationships and the bond of community.
It is this bond that Muis hopes to maintain through SalamSG TV. The Singapore Muslim community may be physically distant from the mosques, but they can remain spiritually connected to the mosques and practices that they associate with Ramadhan, the organisation said.
The green that dominates in the logo is also a recurring colour theme in the Quran. For example, green is used in reference to the earth after rain is being sent down from the sky (22:63). It is a symbol of life and hope, that will be significant during this period.
SalamSG TV will showcase religious as well as lifestyle content. It will feature exclusive religious content from several asatizah who will be addressing a diverse range of religious and motivational topics. The tajwid (تَجْوِيدْ, enunciation for reciting the Quran) is a wonderful collaboration of several mosques coming together to offer a comprehensive series on how to improve your recitation of the Quran.
The lifestyle segment will showcase a variety of content, which include arts and crafts and storytelling videos for children, as well as workshops on Islamic calligraphy and tarannum (Quranic melodious recitation). The channel will also feature religious talks and videos in Bengali and Tamil, as well as content from our partners.
Specific programmes include:
- Mufti’s Thought of the Day, a daily segment where the Mufti will share thoughts and reflections on various issues.
- Stories from the Quran aims to highlight the stories narrated in the Quran and the lessons that can be applied in our current context. It will feature several Singapore asatizah, and the Mufti as well.
- Fiqh FAQ, featuring asatizah from the Office of the Mufti answering some of the most frequently-asked questions that the organisation has received.
- Ramadan Kali Ini is a forum that aims to offer insights and practical advice on how Muslims can adapt to new norms this Ramadhan.
- Tanyalah Pakar is a talkshow featuring practitioners and experts from various fields sharing useful tips with the audience.
