Ansar: The Nahda sisters’ initiative
Ansar is the sisters’ section of the Nahda youth movement. It has been operative since late 2007 but was also launched publically in early 2009. Just like their counterparts from Nahda, the Ansar sisters hold regular gatherings for sisters and periodical events to grow the unity between sisters of our community.
The Ansar gatherings occur in the hub of Sydney’s Muslim community – the suburb of Lakemba. They include a feature gathering held every forntnight, each concentrating on a specific issue. Our sisters deliver a talk followed by earnest discussion. During holidays and other such times, picnis are organised. During Ramadhan, the Ansar sisters organise an annual iftar which is well attended by sisters in the community.
Ansar is effectively the sisters’ wing of the Nahda youth movement, and in future the sisters will be working in co-operation with the brothers to hold certain landmark events for the Muslim youth of Sydney, Australia. While Nahda and Ansar exist as entities independent of each other, and function separately, their goal is one and for these bigger events, they will work hand in hand to insha Allah deliver a positive message to young Muslims living in Australia.
