Are you an active member of your community?

[Sister Hoddan]

Assalaamu 3alaikum!

How many of us are somehow involved in the betterment of our communities? If yes, how exactly are you involved?




Could admin add a poll please?( I do not know how to make one unfortunately) Jazakumullahu khairan

Sister i think it would be a good idea if inshaAllah you also mention how you are active with the community as to encourage others inshaAllah ta'ala.

Unfortunately i am not very active, i do a few things for my university when required but around my own area i dont do much. InshaAllah this will change inshaAllah.

[Sister Hoddan]

I did this poll for these reasons below:

1.encouragement to continue doing whatever one is doing no matter how difficult or small it is for the pleasure of Allah
2.the exchange of ideas

Sister i think it would be a good idea if inshaAllah you also mention how you are active with the community as to encourage others inshaAllah ta'ala.

I`m a member and organiser in a new non-profit islamic association that hold different activitites such as lectures,halal-"parties"ect(segregation between the 2 genders of course l,l wallahul musta3an) for muslims and non-muslims.I would like to get involved in more activities in the future inshaAllah but I think its very important to start slowly first. After all, a little deed done constantly is far better in the sight of Allah than something big that´s done irregulary as our beloved Prophet(sallaahu aleyhi wasallam) said.

I hope we all contribute something to the sociaty even by removing a harmful object from the roads(which is an act of worship in itself).

Nah not an active member of the the community but I wouldn't mind being a part of a team that helped improve our community.

I know its hard to find anyone in society to start something off. So why don't we create some ideas to find a starting point?

Assalamu aleikum

yes i am an active member,i work at muslim community centre where after school programmes are held.That makes da kids not to any where else after school where they would waste their time.

second,is with da mothers and seniors of my community,unfortunately most of them dont speak english so we help them out when they have maybe a doctors appointment or anything that they would need a translator.and trust me,it is most rewarding .

3rd,we organise iftar cooking for da mosque every ramadhan,and we take turns.

May Allah reward u all.

assalaamu 3alaikum,

na3am I agree. Most poeple want to be more involved but sometimes, it is hard to know where to start so sharing ideas would be great.

[IbnAbdulHakim]

same here akhee fi-sab, to be honest i dont even know anything great my community at the moment is doing, well i know they are raising money for a mosque and i already helped with that... not really doing much else. So i guess that means we got to start the activities, not wait for someone else to start it then jump in...

Jazak Allaahu khayrun for creating this thread sister, because through this thread, i thought of creating a new thread on ideas on how to revive islaam in our own areas:
