Ask An Ustaz or Ustazah Questions Through Anonymous Chat With MYSAFESPACE
As a Muslim living in Singapore, we understand that having a safe space to ask questions to asatizah (religious teachers) is crucial for your personal and spiritual development.
First, a safe space allows you to freely ask questions without fear of judgment or discrimination. This is important because sometimes, you may hesitate to ask questions you think may be sensitive or controversial.
Second, having access to knowledgeable asatizah who can provide guidance and answer your questions is essential in helping you understand and navigate your faith. They can provide valuable insights and help clarify any confusion or doubts you may have, which can deepen your understanding of Islam and strengthen your faith.
Furthermore, a safe space for Muslim youth to ask questions to asatizah can foster a sense of community and belonging. Knowing that you have a support system of trusted scholars who can provide guidance and support can be comforting, especially when living as a minority in a multiracial and multireligious country like Singapore.
That’s where MYSAFESPACE comes in.

Rest assured that it is okay to ask any question as long as you communicate respectfully. Sayyidatina Aisyah r.a. praised the women of the Ansar (locals of Madinah) because of their determination to learn. She said:
نِعْمَ النِّسَاءُ نِسَاءُ الأَنْصَارِ, لَمْ يَكُنْ يَمْنَعُهُنَّ الْحَيَاءُ أَنْ يَسْأَلْنَ عَنِ الدِّينِ وَيَتَفَقَّهْنَ فِيهِ
“How excellent are the women of the Ansar! They do not allow shyness to prevent them from asking questions about the religion and seeking to understand it.”
(Sahih Muslim)
