Haneefah Posted May 12, 2008 You folks are truly blessed Masha Allah. I envy the British Muslim communities and the degree of Islamic awareness/activities they enjoy. This is beautiful really, and I pray that Allah facilitates the path of the noble knowledge for serious and dedicated students who will endeavour to partake in these cirlcles. P.S. Are you aware of any online courses that teach the Bulooghal Maraam - I've been eager to start studying it but haven't yet found a way other than independent study.

Ibtisam Posted May 14, 2008 WHY are all the sisters sessions in the morning?? ereeg, I hate this bias, that since women are always at home you can do lessons in the middle of the day, they did this last year as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emperor Posted May 14, 2008 ^Islamacily you should always stay at home but since you are coming out it is more safer for you in the Morning than in the evening when every predator's shift is in full gear for hunting.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ibtisam Posted May 14, 2008 Predators are out and about every day, regardless of the time in full gear for hunting. The assumption is they hunt, those who want to be hunted. If we are going to be out anyway, it will be safer if we are in classes in the evening, that way at least it is known where we are. Coming to classes in the morning does not mean you will be at home in the evening. Crazy logic. Anyway the whole point of these classes should be to educate those that are not normally reached or tied to the community. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malika Posted May 14, 2008 ^You have raised a valid point,not all sisters are at home and are able to attend these lectures in the morning..The should be evening sessions too.Its the same here in my home town,they have quran and tajweed classes for women in the morning and for men in the evening..argh!

Ibtisam Posted May 14, 2008 I know, but I thought this year would be different, because this was raised last year. The practising community in this area is large, so the classes are full even in the middle of the day. But they are not reaching the people who really need classes with these times.

Ms DD Posted May 16, 2008 Hey Ibti Have you raised your concern to them? i think it is worth it. Not every woman is a stay-home mother. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Haneefah Posted May 17, 2008 Why are you folks assuming that they are making a presumption about the women's work status? We should learn to make excuses for others as often as we can, InshAllah; perhaps the instructors for these free classes are only available during the day.

Abaay Heylay Posted May 17, 2008 Haneefah, we have Islamic classes in Canada. If you live in Toronto, they have alot of lectures in Khalid binu waleed mosque. Also, they have al-maghrib classes which are double weekends, it was just offered in Toronto last weekend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fabregas Posted May 18, 2008 Any change of schedule, ie a change in the times, will depend on the avaliablity of their teachers( if they can do morning or evening). The sisters are strictly taught by Females teachers, some who I believe are the wives of the male teachers. So it depends on that, and whole load of other things!

Ibtisam Posted May 18, 2008 Haneefah Because I live near this place and they've have done this before, and work was one of their reasons. As I said the "practicing community" is quite large here, so these classes are always full for the sisters, hence they never seem to take our complaints seriously. On the other hand, when they slotted some classes for the brothers in the morning, it was empty! Since then it is an automatic reaction, all brothers classes in the evening and sisters in the morning. The same goes for the two local mosques here. It drives me nuts! I do understand that it has something to do with what you and Abu Geeljire said; they do not have someone qualified enough, who is willing to do evening classes at the moment. But it is summer and the sun does not go down till 9pm, how hard could it be to find some to teach once or twice a week 5-9 or something? Sorry I’m just venting my frustrations about another summer of missing out all the classes. It would be nice of them to cater to a different audience once in a while. The Muslim institutions here never try to accommodate or reach out to anyone but the usual suspects who are already well connected to them. This means large section of the community is excluded. Then they sit in these talks complaining about how the youth is lost, lack of Islamic knowledge, ill practice, this and that. Do they think that by some miracle that the youth will pick up this knowledge in colleges, work and university. What will be the future of the Muslim community when the current “practicing community” immigrates or dies out, as it surely will. The role of Islamic institutions is changing and they need to cater to all sections of the community, not just middle aged already “practicing Muslims” This is one of the reasons why organizations such as Al Muhjaroon, Xizbu Tarir and so on have previously attracted large junks of the young Muslims in the UK, they are/ were the only ones willing to move out of the usual comfort zone. Going into colleges, universities, and offering flexible evening classes. It is just too bad that their aqeeda was a little flawed, but it was this lack of alternative that attracted many young people. If this gap is not filled by the mosques and centers, it will again be filled by others who can potential mislead people. P.s.Disclaimer: By “Practicing Muslims” I just mean those who are well versed in Islam and could be seen as potential role models. P.s.s. I've been meaning to have a thread for this rant, but never mind, here will do. It really worries me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
