Episode 19. Haven of Sisterhood (Lajna Ima’illah). Lajna Ima’illah is an auxiliary organisation of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. Although a religious organisation in nature, Lajna Ima’illah is also a part of our wider Community, and therefore, it caters the needs of women and supports them in their secular circumstances as well. A lot of what Lajna Ima’illah do, is dependent on how we, the women, interact with each other, and it is Allah the Almighty’s immense blessing that Lajna Ima’illah is gripped so tight in its values of unity and sisterhood. In this episode of Sisters on Air, we will explore and delve deeper into the sisterhood that drives this organisation forward.
