Fara Rasiman was born and mostly raised in beautiful Malaysia, having lived in Australia for a few years in her 20s, before moving back to her home country. Her past works include working in startups, tech, sustainable energy, nonprofit, creatives, and more, but her passion lies in volunteering or working on community projects. She has been volunteering for the past 15 years and started her journey with Rabata as a volunteer. Aside from leading the youth programs at RabaTEENS and Dragonflies, she also serves as the Social Media Coordinator at Rabata.
In her free time, she loves learning about world history and culture, particularly Middle Eastern and Asian, and is fascinated by languages. Outside of Rabata, she also co-founded and runs a community project for Muslim women to gather and have weekly halaqa sessions together and more. All whilst pursuing lifelong-learning of ‘ilm with many amazing and supportive teachers including those at Ribaat Academic Institute. She believes that when it comes to knowledge, everyone should strive to be both student and teacher, which is why Rabata stood out to her, with the women of Rabata not only pursuing scholarly Islamic studies but also working on educating the next generation Muslims at the same time. To be a part of this beautiful team and organization, and to contribute to the work that is being done here is an honor and a blessing that she is very grateful to Allah SWT for.
