Established in July of 1978
The reason for the creation of the Sisters Wing was to enable ourselves, the sisters, to work on the establishment of the Deen freely within our own circle(3-104)
The Objective
To seek the Pleasure of Allah (SWT) through the struggle for establishing the Islamic system of life as spelled out in the Qur’an and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (S)
Methodology
In order to achieve this goal the ICNA Sisters’ Wing has set a specific program as stated in the Charter and By-Laws of ICNA
The Muslim Ummah
“Let there arise among you a group of people, inviting all to that which is good, enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong.” (Qur’an, 3:104)
ICNA Sisters’ Wing
ICNA Sisters’ Wing was established by 6 sisters on July 9, 1978 with the purpose of spreading the Divine Message.
Our Program:
