This page covers the outline of the Nisab that is required to be covered by Associate Members (AM) and Members of ICAN. Nisab is a mandatory pre-requisite for all levels of iCAN membership. Please note down the following important aspects about the Nisab:
Nisab can be covered by individual study or through group study circles
Each unit should make efforts to ensure that its members are able to timely cover the Nisab as it forms the basis of our organizational and spiritual development
The PDD team has created a 'Roz o Shab' (Day and Night) recording sheet which is aimed to help members in tracking and completing their nisab. All members are requested to utilize that in consultation with their unit incharges.
