GEMS SINGAPORE

Precious gems are profoundly buried in the earth and can only be extracted at the expense of great labour. Gems cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected without trials... Remember, diamonds are created under pressure. We believe that EMPOWERED WOMEN EMPOWER ALL Empowerment comes from recognising self-worth and confidence through the continuous attainment of knowledge and skills, by overcoming obstacles and serving mankind. We hope to empower women to take charge of their lives to secure a brighter future for themselves and their family, in this lifetime and the next. A happy home starts from us. Be part of this movement as we, hand-in-hand, accompany you throughout this journey...

G.E.M.S

“Life at its best is a series of challenges. A big enough challenge will bring out strength and abilities you never knew you had. Take on challenges and you will bring yourself to life.”

What is G.E.M.S?

GEMS Empowering Me Series, is a series of fun and easy challenges across different elements, especially tailored to simulate life’s obstacles through EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING. G.E.M.S hopes to EMPOWER participants with essential PARALLEL life skills, help to identify and remove any mental obstacles, bring clarity and renewed confidence in themselves and their ability to make decisions and conquer life’s challenges.

8 CHALLENGES I 8 ELEMENTS

Conducted outdoors, Participants will learn to enhance their spiritual practice, develop a heightened self-awareness and expand their comfort zone. All they have to do is participate in the activities. The more skills they attain, the more confidence garnered. All activities will be conducted as a group to foster social support with command opportunities to develop leadership skills.

It's a race against our own... More often than not, the ONLY obstacle in our life is ourselves. 

To be a Pearl in Paradise, one needs to be a Women of Wellness,
a woman who encapsulates all elements of wellness holistically. And the only way to attain that is with Knowledge.

"Whoever follows a path in pursuit of knowledge, Allah makes his way easy to paradise.” (Bukhari)

"Read... In the name of your Lord who has created" 96:1
Islam has given great importance to the process of seeking knowledge. Infact, seeking beneficial knowledge is an obligation upon every Muslim (Ahmad). Whoever seeks knowledge and help other people to learn will get unaccountable rewards from Allah ﷻ. He will grant him high ranks in this world and the Hereafter. "Allah will exalt those who believe among you, and those who have been granted knowledge to high ranks." 58:11

Teaching others is one of the good deeds that will get us great rewards even after death. Whoever leaves behind beneficial knowledge will get rewards as long as people are still getting benefits from his knowledge. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: “When a man dies all his deeds comes to an end except for three: an ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge and a righteous son who prays for him.” (Bukhari)
