HISTORY
YM Sisters Canada was previously known as Muslim Youth Network (MYN), and its name was officially changed in August 2023. The birth of YM Sisters is rooted in the conception of its parent organization, Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) Canada. ICNA has its roots in America, where it was founded in late 1960s by a group of students within the Muslim Students Association (MSA). These students were involved in Islamic movements in their countries of origin. This organization had a far-reaching vision of working for Iqamat-ud-deen in the west. Since then, it has established itself in Canada, and spread its reach to all demographics. In late 1990s, a group of young Muslim girls gathered under ICNA Canada to focus their Da’wah efforts on other Muslim girls in the west, which is now a wing of ICNA Canada called Young Muslims (YM) Sisters. Currently, YM Sisters have active units in 18+ cities across Canada, and it continues to reach and empower Muslim girls across the country.
