Asiyah Ramadan Strategy Meeting
For the past six years, the Asiyah community has been a lifeline for over 10,000 domestic violence survivors, refugees, and migrants in NYC and beyond—providing shelter, clothing, meals, and hope. This incredible journey wouldn't have been possible without you.
Now, we’re embarking on our most ambitious project yet: securing our third emergency housing location! This new space—our largest so far—will be a safe haven for even more domestic violence survivors and refugees, including families from Gaza, Sudan, and Syria. To make this dream a reality, we need you.
We’re launching the 30 Nights, One Dream fundraising challenge on the first of Ramadan (March 1, 2025) to help finalize the purchase of this critical housing location. Over 30 days, you’ll have the chance to rally your networks, raise funds for those in need, and compete for exciting prizes—including international trips! ✈️
This isn’t just about fundraising; it’s about transforming lives and being part of something historic. Together, we can build a sanctuary for those who need it most.
Want to learn more? Join us at The People's Forum (320 W37th st, New York, NY 10018) on February 1st from 2-4pm to hear all the details and find out how you can get involved. RSVP required!

Asiyah’s Virtual Mental Health Workshop: My Body, an Amanah (Virtual)
In this empowering workshop, Dr. Pasha will guide participants through the concept of self-care from an Islamic perspective. Emphasizing the idea that our bodies are a sacred trust (amanah) from Allah, Dr. Pasha will explore how to honor and nurture our physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.
Through practical strategies rooted in Islamic teachings, participants will learn how to care for themselves holistically, even during times of adversity. Topics will include the importance of self-compassion, the role of spirituality in mental health, nourishing the body through diet, exercise, and rest, and cultivating a positive mindset through prayer and mindfulness.
This workshop aims to empower women with the tools to reclaim their strength, resilience, and sense of self-worth, reminding them that caring for themselves is not only an act of self-love but also an act of worship. By integrating these principles into their daily lives, participants will gain a deeper connection to their bodies, minds, and souls, enabling them to heal and thrive.
