Dues, renewals and good standing
Does creating an account make me a member?
No. An account is not a membership. It lets you use the website's services; membership is a separate application that the membership team reviews.
When are annual dues due?
Dues are paid each January and cover the calendar year, January to December.
What membership types are available?
Individual, Family, Associate and Honorary. The page shows which types are open for applications.
Can I save my application and finish later?
Yes. Sign in, save a draft, and return any time from My Applications on any device.
How much does membership cost?
Dues depend on the membership type. The amount is shown when you choose a type once it has been announced.
Can associate members vote?
No. Associate and Honorary members do not vote in member elections, but they are welcome at General Assembly meetings and Foundation activities.
Can I add family members?
Yes, with a Family membership. Children are listed without an email address or phone number.
What happens if my dues are overdue?
We send a reminder. Unpaid dues pause member privileges, and membership ends if dues are still unpaid three months after the due date. Paying the current year's dues restores a paused membership.
How can I renew my membership?
Sign in and choose Renew Membership in your member account.
Are membership fees refundable?
No. Membership fees are not refundable.
This page summarizes membership as published by First Hijrah. The bylaws are the governing document; members can sign in to read them.
