The festival will feature prominent world renouned Islamic scholars from Canada, Australia, Egypt, United Kingdom as well as Malaysia. The Family Festival will offer a dedicated room to the mothers who need to take care of young children whilst still being able to listen to the lectures, obtain nutrition and health advise. The children’s activities will be mainly in the Kids Play Zone area complete with the fun based learning Islamic games, storytelling sessions and movies screenings. “This is a great opportunity for Muslims and Non Muslims alike to meet and enjoy a community
event that will benefit everyone who attends” said MMM’s General Manager Sajid Hussain. Mr Hussain continues by saying, “Malaysia has always been at the forefront of Islamic development and we are inviting some of the world’s best English‐speaking scholars along with a host of lcoal born speakers who have a wealth of knowledge and experience in various Islamic disciplines to help benefit the local community”.
Malaysia aims to be the new Headquarters for Mercy Mission Worldwide, which was started by Australian Dr Tawfique Chowdhury in Sydney, Australia in 2007. Offices have since been
established in the United Kingdom, Australia, South Africa, India, Bangladesh and Canada. Dr Tawfique Chowdhury says it aims to “achieve a world where every Muslim can live faithfully to their belief, building an exemplary Islamic community that benefits humanity”. Mercy Mission believes that it is a duty on the Muslims to be the best of examples to the wider community by displaying the beauty of Islam. The Malaysian office was officially opened on 1 July 2011 and since it has also undertaken and collaborated on various local community projects such as Pure Matrimony, Little Explorers Magazine, Youth Development Programme, Baby Hatch and a Leadership Summit.

Conference Theme: Best of Nations – Building an Exemplary Community
Building an exemplary community is paramount to our success in Malaysia. The best of the best; the generation living in the time of the Prophet (S) were efficient, effective and exemplary in every manner. In order to follow in their footsteps and those of the pious predecessors we must work towards a stable, positive, and harmonious community by taking a holistic approach to this issue. We need to look at education, conflict resolution, and identity, as well as issues around health, youth, social inclusion and infrastructure.
Allah (swt) said: ”You are the best of the nations, raised up for (the benefit of) men…” (Al-Imran, V110).
Ultimately, our goal is to live up to this status that Allah (swt) has given us and become the Best of Nations.
