In its bid to intensify Dawah (preaching) among the Moro inmates in General Santos City Jail, the Muslim Women of General Santos City (MUWOGEN) is set to sign a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP)-Gensan within this month of September.
Aida Seddic, MUWOGEN President, said their group decided to consider the conduct of weekly Dawah in the city jail upon the request of the male and female Moro inmates.
In the past couple of years, MUWOGEN officers and members used to reach out female Moro inmates once every Ramadhan bringing Iftar (food taken to break the fast) and conducting Dawah session for their sisters in faith in the correctional facility.
Seddic said the inmates need spiritual guidance. “In our Dawah session conducted a day after the Eidul Fitr, we gave inputs on Islamic values and the essence of covering the Aurat.”
She also learned that some Moro inmates attend preaching activities by some Pastors. “We believe that as Muslims, we have social responsibility to bring Islamic education to our brothers and sisters in the city jail.”
Created in 1995, MUWOGEN is the longest surviving and most active Muslim women group in General Santos City.
It was organized by Muslim women professionals, housewives, businesswomen and community leaders who saw the need for them to be united and help in addressing issues affecting the Muslim society.
Seddic disclosed that their group will tie up with some Asatidz who can volunteer to handle Muhadharah for male Moro inmates.
“We have Ustadza Mariam Cayanong, an Arabic teacher and preacher, who will take charge of the women,” she added.
Seddic said the weekly preaching session will start once the MOA is signed. “There will be two separate venues, one for the male and another for the female,” she said.
She is confident that their officers and members will continue supporting the program through provision of snacks and mobilization.
