Fara Rasiman serves as Rabata’s Youth Program Education Administrator, which includes the RabaTEENS and Dragonflies programs. Hailing from the culturally rich and humid landscapes of Malaysia, Fara lived in Australia for a few years in her 20s, before moving back to her home country. Seeing herself as a global citizen, Fara’s career has spanned various sectors, including startups, sustainable energy, and nonprofits, touching lives across the Asia-Pacific, European, and North American markets. Despite this, her passion lies in volunteering and working on community projects.
Fara’s professional and volunteer experiences, including impactful work with organizations like the Cancer Council New South Wales, Camp Quality Australia, and Habitat for Humanity Australia, paved the way for her engagement with Rabata. Beyond her role, she also volunteers as Rabata’s Social Media Coordinator and a Ribaat Course Admin.
Outside of work, Fara is a student of accomplished teachers specializing in Quran and hosts a halaqah group for Muslim women to gather weekly to learn about the Sira, Tafsir, and Al-Nawawi’s 40 Hadith and Riyad as-Salihin.
Looking ahead, Fara aspires to build impactful leadership and volunteering programs for the youth at Rabata, while she works towards achieving her Quran Ijāza and continues on the path of memorizing the Quran.
