Tar’biyyah, taleem and da’wah…these are the motives by which Al-Ansaar functions.  Focussed on the need for daw’ah, Al-Ansaar has in conjunction with the Imdaad Literacy Movement, established literacy classes for the underprivileged.  Every Saturday, special literacy classes are held in which the basic requisites for literacy are taught.  Candidates are issued with a literacy competency certificate.  The opportunity is used to promulgate the Islamic message.
