iCAN Nisab (Replaced with new Nisab in Mar,19)
​(Check with your unit president regarding its applicability)

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.

​Note: There is a mistake in translation of a dua (based on a hadith from Sunan Ibn Majah) on page 15 of the book. The hadith and its correct translation is as follows:
اللهم إنا اسئلك الجنة وما قرب إليها من قول وعمل، و اعوذبک من النار 
اے اللہ میں تجھ سے جنت کا سوال کرتا ہوں                        
اور اس (چیز) کا جو تجھ سے قریب کر دے، اسے قول اور ایسے عمل                        
اور میں تیری پناہ چاہتا ہوں آگ سے
