Creating A Prophetic Community: Supporting Those Neglected
2022-01-23 10:00 - 11:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | CA
Sanaa Subhani – Founder and Executive Director of Wasilah Connections, Sh. Jabir Tarin – Mental Health And Religious Director, and Saha Jamshed – NISA Program Manager/Family Therapist

The Prophet ﷺ was sent as a mercy to mankind and wherever he ﷺ went, he created a community. A community that wasn’t just a body of people, but people who came together and helped one another. No one was left out, regardless of their status, race, wealth, etc.

Join us as we take a dive into how Wasilah is rebuilding that Sunnah by being a support and mercy to a portion of the community that has been gone far too often neglected & ignored, the challenges we face, the stigma that Wasilah aims to break, and how you can support this effort.
