EMPOWERING
The health and vitality of a society is greatly influenced by the condition of its women. As such, the Women’s Resource Centre will provide women from all races and ethnic backgrounds an avenue to come together in a safe, respectful and empowering environment to learn more about effectively managing one’s personal, social and practical life. The Women’s Resource Center touches the lives of Muslim women and through them influences positive change in the lives of others.
SUPPORTING
If a person was to carefully study the contributions of the ansaar, one would find that their biggest and greatest contribution was giving opening their arms to their brethren, aiding them to settle in the new land by sharing their wealth, family, and livelihoods, and ultimately giving the immigrants of Makkah a chance to practice Islam freely and openly. The Ansaar made Madinah a fertile ground for the migrants to live Islam; they embraced them into their families, became their brothers and sisters – bonds stronger than blood relations. It was their generosity and kindness that made the lives of the Muhajirun (immigrants) easily adaptable to Islam.
Our support program takes inspiration from that successful model, that model created by our Prophet. Our mentors are encouraged relieve the anxiety or hurdles that their fellow sisters in Islam may be experiencing. They create a safe-haven for those needing help and support and they vow to grow with them in their journey to Jannah.
ACHEIVEING EXCELLENCE
The Women’s Resource Centre will provide the necessary tools, techniques and professional training in dealing with potential issues that may hinder one’s success. The tools that the Women’s Resource Centre offers ensures the engagement, empowerment and develop of Muslim women of all ages. The corner stone of this will be a program of regular workshops. Through these workshops women will acquire the knowledge and skills to cultivate excellence in various facets of their lives, eliminate root causes of stress and conflict and adapt a healthy and productive lifestyle.
