Be an Ansaar: 10 Ways to Care for and Help a New Muslim

1. Become an Ansaar

The Muhajir (those who immigrated to Madinah from Makkah) were new to Madinah and were taken in by Ansaars, who were local citizens. Thus, become an Ansaar for the new Muslim who is new to Islam. Welcome them, guide them, advise them, care for them and love them for the sake of Allah.

Being an Ansaar also means being accessible for your new Muslim brother or sister. Just as a new Muhajir needed a lot of help when they came to Madinah, they need your help in becoming comfortable in their life as a Muslim. Develop a deep and lasting friendship.

Next: Have patience.
