WHO WE ARE?

Empowered by Faith, United in Sisterhood

Young Muslim Sisters is a lively community, a sisterhood that thrives on empowering and supporting women of all ages. Our safe space is where sisters come together to share thoughts, feelings, and experiences, recognizing the strength that unity brings, as emphasized in Islam. Inspired by the Prophet Muhammad’s teaching, “A believer is a mirror to another believer,” we reflect the essence of sisterhood. We were born from the realization that a significant segment of the Muslim youth was yearning for a deeper connection with their faith. As the youth division of the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), our mission is to cultivate the desire to live for the sake of Allah, fostering positive change in the lives of those around us. At the heart of Young Muslim Sisters is the NeighborNet, a dynamic gathering where sisters delve into the principles of Islam, translate them into practice, and form unbreakable bonds of sisterhood. With knowledge, activism, and a touch of fun, we unite to make a meaningful impact in our communities and beyond.

Our Goals

the Future and Nurturing Sisterhood

Sustainability

Sustainability is our commitment to the enduring growth of our sisterhood. We nurture a model that ensures long-lasting impact. Through education, engagement, and support, we empower young Muslim women to grow into well-rounded individuals and compassionate leaders.

Diversity

The foundation of our objectives is “Tarbiyah” – the comprehensive development of our members. Young Muslim Sisters actively participate in character building, education, and spiritual growth, molding our members into well-rounded, self-assured individuals.

Tarbiyah

Our sisterhood thrives on diversity, embracing our community’s rich tapestry of backgrounds. We believe in accepting and cherishing differences fostering respect, understanding, and unity.

Social Impact

We at Young Muslim Sisters believe in instilling a sense of social responsibility and impact in our community. We encourage our youth to contribute positively to society, making a difference in their communities and beyond.

Brotherhood

At the core of Young Muslim Sisters is the celebration of sisterhood. We provide a space where sisters unite to share their thoughts, feelings, and experiences, following the spirit of unity emphasized in Islam. Guided by the Prophet’s wisdom, “A believer is a mirror to another believer,” we mirror the strengths of our fellow sisters, uplifting each other.
