ummah

The Muslims who had left Makkah were called Muhajirs, migrants who had left their homes for the sake of Allah. They were now homeless and more or less penniless in Madinah. They needed help. Enter the Muslims of Madinah. They became the Ansars (helpers) of their Muhajir brothers and sisters in faith.

The Muslim community must plan for the future, and this implies taking up positions in a wide array of fields from where to project a positive intellectual, economic and political impact on our community, and society as a whole.
