• EPIC Ansaar Program

  • The Ansaar program at EPIC is intended to provide excellent support and mentoring for:
    (1) Newcomers to the EPIC community and
    (2) Reverts residing in or moving to the EPIC community

    It is modeled after the Prophet's (SAW) sunnah of establishing muhajiroon-ansaar (migrant-helper) brotherhood and sisterhood after migrating to Medina, which was critical in maintaining a unified and strong community.
