👩‍🦱 Sisters Committee

Islamic Community Center of Des Plaines (ICCD)

🌟 Our Mission

The Sisters Committee at ICCD is dedicated to serving the educational, spiritual, and social needs of women in our community. Guided by the principles of the Qur’an and Sunnah, we strive to create inclusive spaces where sisters of all ages can learn, connect, and lead with confidence and faith.

🛠 What We Do

Our committee organizes and supports a wide range of programs designed to uplift and engage:

• Educational Programs: Qur’an study circles, Islamic seminars, and guest lectures tailored for women.
• Social Events: Sisterhood gatherings, wellness workshops, and community-building activities.
• Youth & Family Support: Parenting sessions, teen mentorship, and family enrichment programs.
• Volunteer Engagement: Mobilizing sisters to serve in ICCD events, outreach efforts, and charitable initiatives.
• Advocacy & Inclusion: Ensuring women’s voices are represented in ICCD’s planning and decision-making processes.
• Accessibility Projects: Supporting initiatives like the Sisters Elevator Campaign to improve access and comfort.

💡 Why It Matters

Women are the heart of every community. Their strength, wisdom, and compassion shape the spiritual and social fabric of our ummah. The Prophet ﷺ said:

“Women are the twin halves of men.” (Sunan Abu Dawood)

By investing in our sisters, we nurture families, strengthen faith, and build a more unified and resilient ICCD.
