Perdaus

What Perdaus does

Perdaus is a Singapore-based non-profit Islamic education and community organisation founded in 1964, serving the Muslim community through a portfolio of structured religious education programmes and social services. The organisation operates across three core delivery vehicles: Iyad Perdaus for early childhood education, Imad Perdaus for the umbrella of formal Islamic education (Weekend Madrasah, MARSUS youth leadership programme, ALIM adult classes), and iServe @ Perdaus for community social services. Programmes follow the MOE term calendar and are delivered at physical centres in Bukit Batok and Bedok, with fees ranging from SGD 35-55 per month for core programmes plus one-time material and registration fees. Enrichment programmes include Fardhu 'Ain Foundation, Iqra' Classes, and the newly launched Prayer Power module for children aged 7-9, while ALIM offers modular adult courses in aqidah, fiqh, seerah, and Tajwid.

The organisation employs ARS-certified asatizah (religious teachers) and operates under the governance of a volunteer Council led by President Muhammad Hafiz Noorahman, with a professional management team headed by General Manager Noorulhuda Sharun. Revenue mechanics combine recurring monthly programme fees with community donations and zakat contributions channelled through the organisation. Institutional partnerships with MUIS (Islamic Religious Council of Singapore), MENDAKI, and Mercy Relief embed Perdaus within Singapore's official Muslim religious and educational infrastructure. The iServe centre, established in 2023, extends the organisation beyond formal education into free study zones, Mendaki Homework Café operations, and women's wellness programmes. Technology infrastructure is minimal: registration is handled through Microsoft Forms, the organisation maintains a website and social media presence, and no proprietary technology platform, mobile application, or AI capabilities are disclosed.

Direct peers

• Madrasah Wak Tanjong Al-Islamiah: Singapore-based full-time madrasah offering Islamic secondary education, run by the Singapore Islamic Education Trust. Comparable to Perdaus as another institutional Islamic education provider serving the same Singapore Muslim community, though full-time rather than weekend-based.
• Madrasah Al-Junied Al-Islamiah: One of Singapore's six full-time madrasahs and the largest provider of Islamic secondary education. Directly comparable as a Singapore-based Islamic education institution competing for the same Muslim student and family base, though operating as a full-time school rather than Perdaus's weekend model.

Emerging players

• Islamic Online University (IOU): Online Islamic higher-education institution offering accredited degrees and certificates globally. Comparable to Perdaus in delivering structured Islamic learning to adult and youth cohorts, but operating fully online with no centre-based component.
• Al-Maghrib Institute: North America-headquartered Islamic education provider delivering intensive weekend seminars and certificate programmes globally. Comparable as a structured Islamic studies and leadership training provider but with an online/weekend-seminar model that intersects with Perdaus's MARSUS youth leadership track.
• Bayyinah (Qalam): English-language Quranic Arabic and Islamic studies education platform led by Nouman Ali Khan. Comparable to Perdaus in adult and youth Islamic learning intent (aligned with Perdaus's ALIM adult offering), but operating digitally at global scale rather than centre-based in Singapore.

Broad incumbents

• Yayasan MENDAKI: Singapore's Council for the Development of the Malay/Muslim Community; runs education, family, and student-care programmes (including the Mendaki Homework Café that Perdaus hosts). Comparable as a broader community-development incumbent that anchors the same Singapore Malay/Muslim demographic, with overlapping educational and social-service mandates.

Regional players

• PERTAPIS: Singapore-based Malay/Muslim welfare organisation offering social services including residential and community programmes. Overlaps with Perdaus's iServe community services arm and was named as a MARSUS community-engagement partner, making it a comparable peer in the Singapore Muslim social-services space.
