Kansas Jamaat hosted a Tabligh event @
Though the weather was cold, Allah blessed us right away with visitors to the table. We had many students and professors come to see why we were there and ask us questions. We introduced ourselves to everyone who came and explained the Jamaat’s mission to peace. The response to our message was very positive and in addition to taking the fliers, people went on to pick up several of the books and booklets. Women were particularly interested in the ‘Women in Islam’ booklets. Many of those who were interested in our message seemed to have had previous exposure to Islam and were eager to learn more about our beautiful religion. Allhamdolillah, we were fortunate to have a very good response to our message and hopefully, this will be just the first event of many to come.

The conference served as platform for collective learning, working towards common goals and enhancement of sisterhood.

South Midwest First Regional Event! On the weekend of April 30, members from the South Midwest region came together in St. Louis for their very first regional event. Our region was honored to have Sadr Sahiba come especially to meet the members from this area. Members came from as far as Kentucky and Kansas to join with their sisters in St. Louis for two days of reflection, games, and companionship. The event started on Friday with Juma prayer, followed by an informal session of reciting nazms. Sisters Ayesha and Sumrah made a spirited attempt to teach the rest of the sisters so that we could join in with their singing, but many of us proved to be tone deaf. By the end of this first session, members had jumped up to parade in an impromptu march past, reliving the spirit from when march pasts were performed in Lajna functions in Rabwah, Pakistan.
