RELIGIOUS HARMONY AND UNDERSTANDING PARAMOUNT IN MULTI-FAITH SINGAPORE

Singapore is one of the most religiously-diverse countries in the world. Alhamdulillah, religious communities live alongside each other in respect and harmony. Every community has its own beliefs and practices, but each works with other communities to advance the common good and to ensure we can co-exist peacefully.

Different faith groups actively participate in inter-religious initiatives to cement the positive relations between them, whilst remaining confident and resolute in their own faiths and beliefs. This is part of the teaching of Islam for Muslim communities living in a multi-religious context, and has always been part of our social-religious life in Singapore.
