🎙️Dr Farah Islam
TOPIC: The Ansaar Project
Taking a deep dive into the generosity of the Ansaar, this Girl Talk will address the following themes:
1. What are some examples of the selflessness and kindness the Ansaar displayed towards their Muhaajir bretheren?
2. What are some challenges Muslim immigrants and refugees face in Canada?
3. How can we as a Muslim community draw upon the shining example of the Ansaar and provide a safe haven for our brothers and sisters as they rebuild their lives in Canada?
