WHY NISAA'?



Nisaa’ is an ad-hoc 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’ 22/23 started the academic year with events centred around the various roles and responsibilities that we hold as a woman. The 4-part series “Women of Wardah: A Journey of a Woman" hopes to shed light on the importance and beauty each role entails, and how they act as stepping stones in our journey towards Allah ﷻ. The series expands on the various roles that we, as women, have to fulfil in striving for closeness with Allah ﷻ and our beloved Prophet ﷺ, by emulating the significant women role models in Islam.


In Semester 2, the events planned surrounds the theme "Women of Wardah: Sisterhood", which highlighted the importance of strengthening our companionship with the sisters around us, and also aims to improve the lives of young Muslimahs.



WELCOME TEA



Nisaa’ Welcome Tea is an event to specially welcome NUS Muslimah freshmen into the wider NUS Muslim Community and bring together Muslimah students, and forge bonds among the wider Muslimah community. Through the event, Nisaa’s objectives and future events will be introduced to freshmen, hoping to recruit some of them as committee members for the year.



WOMEN OF WARDAH SERIES



As women, we are striving to balance various roles throughout our lives, including the roles of a student, daughter, mother, and a working adult. Each session of the series covers each of these roles, just like as we go through chapters in life such as singlehood, working life and marriage. We hope to shed light on the importance and beauty each role entails, and how they act as stepping stones in our journey towards Allah ﷻ. This 4-part series explores the roles of a woman and our journey to strive for closeness with Allah ﷻ, Rasulullah s.a.w. and significant women role models in Islam. This series was conducted as a hybrid event with various asatizahs sharing their insightful knowledge and understanding of our topics.



WORLD HIJAB DAY CAMPAIGN



Nisaa’ celebrated World Hijab Day (WHD) this year online as a social media campaign by sharing with our followers the beauty and the meaning of the hijab. We released several posts on our Instagram page - street interviews of NUS muslimahs on their hijab journey and experience and a series of IG reels by Ustazah Hidayah Azman on her struggles and triumphs with the hijab and her deen.



PERTAPIS x NISAA' DAY CAMP



Nisaa’ collaborated with Pertapis, a self-help organisation with a keen interest in improving the lives of young Muslimahs. This day camp allowed for bonding between the facilitators and the participants and highlighted the importance of regular physical activity. After lunch and Zohor, there was a cosy batik painting session during which conversation and relaxation was encouraged.


We wanted to inculcate the habit of pursuing hobbies and activities to manage stress, in both the NUS facilitators and the Pertapis participants. Moreover, we hope that organic friendships and bonds will blossom between all the Muslimahs as the older sisters share their advice and experiences with their younger sisters.



NISAA' IFTARAWIH-QIYAM



Nisaa' Iftarawih-Qiyam was an event to bring the sisters together for an evening of remembrance and strengthen our companionship & sisterhood during Ramadhan. We collaborated with Salam Sisters (a subsidiary of Converts Central), who are eager to use this opportunity to introduce newly converted sisters to congregational iftar, tarawih, and qiyam. Nisaa’ and Salaam Sisters thus hope to foster new bonds with our convert sisters. Nisaa’ and Salam Sisters will be sharing funds for this event. We intend to foster closeness between the female participants and develop a sense of community through engaging in acts of worship collectively; such as through service to the community, prayer, and reflection.
