Rihlah

About Rihlah

Rihlah is a sports-based adhoc under NUSMS that promotes a physically and mentally healthy lifestyle, while exploring the relevance of Islam in sports, fitness, and modern life. Our events engage tertiary students through healthy habits, physical activity, and reflective sessions that support overall well-being.

Rihlah aims to create a more holistic approach towards overall health by:

Challenging the body to be resilient, and to be active and physically healthy
Serving as an outlet for relief/destress amidst stressful school life, prioritizing mental health.

Events (AY24/25)

Rihlah to Victory! Sports Day

Our Sports Day encouraged students to embrace physical fitness and teamwork through fun games and activities. More than just competition, the event highlighted how sports can build character, resilience, and discipline—values rooted in Islam. It aimed to promote both physical and mental well-being as essential to fulfilling one’s religious duties.

Rihlah Rides

This event took the form of a night-cycling adventure, with the aim of providing an outlet for participants to destress and learn more about themselves. On top of this, this activity showcased the beauty of the city at night, making participants aware and appreciative of Allah s.w.t.'s creations. Additionally, this was an opportunity for social interaction among participants, building a sense of belonging and community.

Rih-silience In Adversity: Navigating the Path to Wellness

Our final event aimed to equip participants with the knowledge, awareness, and skills to strengthen their mental, spiritual, and physical well-being amidst the unique challenges faced by Muslim university students today. Through a sharing by an asatizah, attendees were encouraged to find inner peace and navigate life’s trials by turning to the Quran and Sunnah. Methods such as self-reflection, prayer, Dhikr, and Doa were introduced as practical tools for spiritual grounding.

(Do note that the focus of events tend to differ as it is dependent on the Adhoc's theme for that year)
