Al Ansaar Radio

About Al Ansaar Radio Android App

Radio Alansaar aims to be the voice of the Muslim community in and around Durban, inspiring and empowering the Ummah with quality programming.

With most of the media being controlled and influenced by non-Muslim organizations, it was only a matter of time before a group of Muslim visionaries who had founded the Al Ansaar Foundation back in 1994 began toying with the concept of Islamic community radio. The public needed a radio station that would educate, uplift and ultimately unite the Muslim community.

Initially, Radio Al Ansaar operated as an annual radio station, broadcasting for only 45 days during the period surrounding Ramadaan, the Muslim holy month of fasting.

The Al Ansaar Foundation worked tirelessly to secure permanent broadcasting rights and in August 2012, the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) finally awarded the Al Ansaar Foundation a 5-year renewable license to broadcast 24/7 on the 90.4fm bandwidth, an achievement for the Muslim community of South Africa. During June 2014, ICASA had awarded the Al Ansaar Foundation a further license to broadcast in Pietermaritzburg on the 105.6fm bandwidth.
