The National Federation of Girls Islamic Organisation (NFGIO) organised a national campaign titled “Connecting Hearts Eternally in Relishing Islamic Sisterhood’ (CHERISH)” with the theme المتحابون في الله which translates to ‘those who love each other for the sake of Allah’. The launching program of the campaign was held at Marathi Patrakar Sangh here Sunday.

The program commenced with the soulful recitation of the verses from the Holy Quran by Uzma Sagri (Regional In-charge, GIO Mumbai Region), followed by the welcoming words by Anamtha Ahmed (General Secretary, GIO MSZ).

Sister Samar Ali (General Secretary, NFGIO) shed light on the aims and objectives of the campaign.

Advocate Sumaiya Roshan, National President NFGIO addressing the program

The launching program was inaugurated by Adv. Sumaiya Roshan, (President, NFGIO), detailing the core intentions planned to be achieved through the campaign.

Adv. Sumaiya explained the goal of the campaign as to establish a secure and encouraging community for Muslim sisters. They must unite to confront the world’s obstacles and thrive with their steadfast faith. Unfortunately, in present times, practising and expressing one’s faith can be arduous and often unaccepted. This leaves many Muslim women feeling alienated from society.

Through sisterhood, women can discover and embrace their authentic selves as creations of the Almighty. They can find their purpose in life and ways to achieve it. The Almutahabbuna Fillah – Companions of the Shade campaign aims to promote righteous friendships among sisters. These friendships go beyond selfish worldly needs and are blessed by Allah. They can be a means of earning His pleasure and becoming successful in both this life and the Hereafter.

The phrase Almutahabbuna Fillah means “those who love each other for the sake of Allah.” It is narrated that on the Day of Judgement, there will be no shade except for the shade of Allah. Among the seven types of people who will be under His shade are two people who love each other for the sake of Allah.

The program further had felicitation addresses by Mrs. Rahmathunnissa A., National Secretary, JIH. She mentioned the contributions put forth by the Girls Islamic Organization from its formation in 1984 in developing and enhancing a healthy society. The organization has been working towards the goal of enhancing the community and developing them to serve for the betterment of the whole of humanity.

It was followed by the address of Mr. Mohammed Zafar Ansari, Secretary, JIH Maharashtra, followed by the concluding address of Khan Shaheen Jattu, Vice President, NFGIO.

The panel discussion held with Advocate Huriya Patel, Uzma Naheed, Haniya Anwar and Samar Ali

A panel discussion titled “Muslim Women: Deciphering the Dilemma of Identity in Contemporary India” was conducted with Samar Ali as the moderator as part of the event.

The panellists included Mrs. Uzma Nahid (Executive Director, Iqra Education Foundation), Adv. Huriya Patel (Advocate, Bombay High Court) and Ms Haniya Anwar (Student leader, TISS Mumbai).
