Al-Usrah traces its roots to the Muslim Students Society of Nigeria (MSSN) and was founded by a small group aiming to continue Dawah efforts in their new location. Initially launched in 1994 at Port Harcourt's Mile 1 Central Mosque, it grew gradually through public outreach and collaboration with organizations like the Muslim Corpers Association of Nigeria (MCAN). Eventually, due to a need for broader inclusivity beyond student-focused initiatives, the organization evolved and changed its name to Al-Usrah Community. The term "Usrah," meaning family in Arabic, symbolizes unity and collective purpose, reflecting a group dedicated to Islamic teachings and values. Al-Usrah facilitates weekly gatherings for study, self-reflection, and character development, following the Prophet's model. In 2000, it was officially registered as Al-Usrah Incorporated, solidifying its status as an Islamic organization.
