WHY NISAA'?



Nisaa’ is a Ground-Up Initiative (GUI) under NUSMS, established for ladies, by ladies! We serve as a platform for Muslim women in NUS to engage and interact through various events organized throughout the academic year.


Our Mission is to spiritually, intellectually, and physically strive to excel in this world and the next. Our Vision is to forge a sisterhood through gatherings and a robust support system within the NUS Muslimah community.

WHAT DOES NISAA' DO?



Nisaa’ started the academic year with events centred around our role as a servant of Allah SWT. Through knowledge-based events such as our 5-part series “Path to the Garden”, it sets as the foundation for us in striving for Divine Love. The series covers the basics of topics on aqidah, fiqh, ihsan/tasawwuf, knowledge in the end of times and love for Rasulullah SAW.


The theme of interpersonal relations was the focus for Semester 2 events as they focused on improving relations with the people around us such as our families and the Muslimah community. There were events that brought ladies together to forge connections and spend time together through the Sports Day and Majlis Selawat/Iftarawih sessions.


The act of gifting our loved ones was encouraged through the Blossoming Love fundraiser. Finally, the Path to Marriage workshop served as a platform for us to work on our internal selves in the search for a better future.



WELCOME TEA



Nisaa’ Welcome Tea 2022 is an event to specially welcome NUS Muslimah freshmen into the wider NUS Muslim Community and to bring together Muslimah students in NUS as an effort to break barriers and encourage sisterhood within the Muslimah Community of NUS. It is also an opportunity for Nisaa’ to recruit committee members for this annual year.




PATH TO THE GARDEN



NUS Nisaa presented a 5-part series, “Path to the Garden”, which seeks to guide and prepare Muslimahs in treading the path towards attaining Divine Love. Inspired by the hadith of the Prophet s.a.w “Whoever takes a path upon which to obtain knowledge, Allah makes the path to Paradise easy for him.” [At-Tirmidhi]


This series was conducted online with Ustazah Mardhiyah, Ustazah Farhana and Ustazah Huraidah, with the exception of the 5th session where it was conducted hybrid in NUS. We had also included a qasidah/poetry Ilzam Bab Robbik Keep by the Door of your Lord by Imam Al Haddad as a running theme in this series to enhance our experience in seeking knowledge of the religion and enlightening our spirituality.



NISAA' SPORTS DAY



Nisaa’ is back with another Sports Day! This semester, we gathered all NUS Muslimahs once again to showcase their sporting prowess and strengthen our Muslimah community spirit. Through this event, we hope to instill a healthier lifestyle in every Muslimah, by focusing on both our physical and mental health!


This Sports Day allows each Muslimah to have fun and build new friendships through various team and individual games.



WORLD HIJAB DAY CAMPAIGN



Nisaa’ approached World Hijab Day (WHD) this year by enriching ourselves and audiences about the history of WHD, and most importantly about the knowledge and history of the hijab. We will also talk about the models of modesty in the history of Islam, in commemoration of the birth month (JamadilAkhir) of the Beloved Prophet s.a.w’s daughter, Sayyidah Fatima Azzahra r.a, who is the Liegelady of all women believers.


As this is a social media campaign, we released several posts on our instagram page, including an IGTV, and a series of IG story questions to get engagement with our audiences. Ustazah Farhana Munshi also lent us her wisdom and knowledge in a short sharing through an only-audio IGTV to wrap up Nisaa’s WHD.



NISAA' MERCHANDISE SALES



Blossoming with Love


Nisaa’ held a merchandise sale as part of efforts to raise funds which were needed to carry out various events throughout Semesters 1 and 2. The Publicity members worked hard on creating new and unique designs for t-shirts, tote bags and stickers which we then sold to the public.



MAJLIS SELAWAT & IFTARAWIH



This event aims to bring the sisters in NUS together for an evening of remembrance and strengthen our companionship & sisterhood during Ramadhan, with Iftar and Tarawih prayers.


Our esteemed guest shared with us on how we can improve and remain consistent in our good deeds in this blessed month of Ramadhan.





PATH TO MARRIAGE WORKSHOP



As part of a spin-off from Nisaa’s “Path to the Garden” series last semester, this mini-workshop serves for Muslimahs to be more in tune with preparing themselves for marriage emotionally and spiritually.


An introduction to the fiqh of marriage, approaches towards marriage, companionship and motherhood through group discussions and individual reflections with Ustazah Farhana Munshi.
