What does Al-Ansar mean?

Al-Ansar is Arabic for "the helpers." The Ansar were people who helped the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his companions when they fled from Mecca to Medina to escape persecution. The Ansar took them into their homes, gave them provision, and generally welcomed them and gave to them generously.

What is the Al-Ansar program?

The Al-Ansar program provides you with the basic tools you need to pray, read Qur'an, and obtain resources on Islam. It also provides you with your own Ansar or helper who can be your mentor, point of contact, or perhaps can help you with transportation if you need a ride to the mosque for prayers, classes, or lectures.
