Sisters’ activities will be encouraged by the association and at least two office bearers must be elected from amongst the sisters to represent the sisters in the committee of the association. The Sisters will form their own sub-committee to carry out their activities in the community.

3.0 Diversity

The members of the association and especially the office bearers will ensure that members of all national origins and ethnic backgrounds are represented in the association. This will be achieved through proactive membership recruitment from various backgrounds and through election of office bearers of different national origins and ethnicities in the committee and sub committees of the association. No particular group of ethnic or national origin will monopolise the offices of the association.

The association will encourage participation of the wider non-Islamic community through dialogue and communication within the Islamic beliefs and traditions.
