Request for Mediation

Jamiyah Mediation is part of Jamiyah Singapore. We provide a safe, respectful, and confidential space to help you resolve conflicts peacefully. Guided by the Islamic peacemaking principle of Sulha and supported by professional mediation practices, we help you rebuild trust and find fair, constructive solutions without the stress of a prolonged court process

Sulha is a beautiful Islamic principle that translates to "peacemaking." At Jamiyah Mediation, the approach is deeply rooted in this concept and combined with professional mediation practices to create a safe, respectful space for me. By focusing on Sulha, the goal is to help me resolve family and community conflicts constructively, rebuild trust, and preserve my important relationships, all while staying fully aligned with Singapore’s legal framework.

Sulha mediation provides a safe and respectful space where my voice will truly be heard. By blending this traditional peacemaking concept with professional mediation practices, the process helps me navigate conflicts constructively without the stress and cost of prolonged litigation. Whether I am facing a family disagreement, a business conflict, or a community issue, it is a structured and completely confidential path designed to help everyone rebuild trust, preserve important relationships, and work together towards a fair and constructive resolution

We are here to support you through a wide range of personal, business and professional challenges. Our mediators can help navigate family and marital issues, inheritance and estate matters, intergenerational family conflicts, community disagreements, and even workplace or business partnership disputes.

While mediation can support many family, workplace, community, relational, and business disputes, some situations may require formal legal or regulatory intervention instead of mediation.

These may include:

  • Criminal matters
  • Cases requiring judicial determination or legal precedent
  • Situations requiring urgent court orders or remedies
  • Disputes involving public policy considerations
  • Cases involving significant legal or regulatory scrutiny

Our team will conduct an initial assessment to help determine the most appropriate pathway based on the nature of the dispute.

Mediation is generally much faster and easier on your wallet than going to trial. More importantly, it keeps you in control of the outcome rather than handing the decision over to a judge. It is designed to be a flexible process that reduces emotional stress, helps you find creative solutions, and focuses on preserving important relationships.

Absolutely. We handle every matter with strict confidentiality and care. Mediation sessions are held privately, giving you a completely safe environment to speak openly without worrying about publicity.

You will be guided by our trained, neutral mediators who are competent and professional.

Not at all! We understand that disputes can feel overwhelming, so you don't need to have all the answers before reaching out. Whether your situation feels straightforward or very complex, the best first step is to simply begin the conversation. From there, we will help you understand your options and guide you in the right direction.

It is a structured yet flexible step-by-step approach. Instead of pointing fingers or focusing on who is at fault, our neutral mediators help everyone communicate clearly. We guide the conversation so that you and the other party can negotiate a mutually acceptable solution that truly addresses your underlying concerns.

Mediation is a great choice if you want to:

  • Save time and money: It is generally much faster and less costly than a court trial.
  • Protect relationships: It helps you rebuild or maintain ties with the other party despite the current communication breakdown.
  • Maintain privacy: Unlike public court trials, mediation sessions and the details of your settlement are kept strictly confidential.
  • Control the outcome: You have the flexibility to negotiate a creative solution that works for you, rather than having a judge decide the final outcome based strictly on the law.

However, mediation is not suitable if you need a definitive legal ruling from a judge, if key decision-makers refuse to participate, or if the other party is not attending in good faith (such as only attending to gather information). Importantly, mediation can only take place if all parties agree to participate.

It’s very easy to take the first step. You can request mediation by reaching out for a free consultation. Once our mediator receives your request, he or she will then review your situation and supportively guide you through the next steps.

We would be glad to assist you. The Jamiyah Islamic Dispute Resolution Centre is located at 31 Lorong 12 Geylang, Singapore 399006. Please feel free to call us at +65 6744 4484 or send us an email at info@jamiyahmediation.sg.
