For new reverts in Birmingham, West Midlands

[Jameela@A4A]

Assalamu alaykum dear brothers and sisters

If you have recently accepted Islam or know someone who recently did, you might be interested in learning about some programs that we run for new muslims in Birmingham.

The Sisters' Cafe: this is run about once a week on Saturdays and it's a place to socialise with other muslims. Ladies only (children welcome). What we hhave to offer: emotional and practical support for new reverts, help with learning the deen (prayers, wudhu, fasting, reading Qur'an....) and one on one support and follow up to make sure new reverts always have someone to turn to.

New Muslims Outreach Program: a new program designed to reach out to the newest members of our community and offering tailored assistance to new reverts (brothers and sisters)

There are also a lot more available from the various mosques in the city. Simply contact your local mosque.

For more information or if you have any question at all you can email me: jameela_umyousef@rocketmail.com
I can help with finding your local mosque, prayer timetables and anything else really.

May Allah make you strong on the path of Islam. Insha'Allah see you soon...

Wassalam

Dear sisters,

we have now moved our cafe page in Facebook to make it into a group, as this is easier to interact with each other thanks to instant notifications and mutiple participants chats.

From now on come and meet us on: http://www.facebook.com/groups/294339890623598/

We also meet "for real" on Saturday afternoons in the Daar masjid on Moseley Road. For more info you can email me (ladies only please): removed

Assalamu alaykum dear sisters,

for those of you looking to learn about the Deen, i would like to direct you to sister Nighat Jabeen who is running 2 sisters circles on Sundays:

** one for new reverts and newly practicing muslims which covers basic but essential aspects of islam (prayers, wudhu...)
** one for more established sisters where they cover more advanced discussion topics insha'Allah following the Qur'an and Sunnah

For more info get in touch with the sister on her facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/groups/UKIMSistersYouth/?ref=ts

And don't forget to come and have a friendly chat over a nice cuppa at the Sisters' Cafe on Saturday in the Daar.

Dear sisters in Islam,
Assalamu alaykum

just to answer a question i have been asked by emails a few times:

YES the cafe is still running and we have no plans to stop insha'Allah. We have agreed from the beginning that as long as it benefits even just 1 sister then we will keep it on. This is a project for the sake of Allah sisters, and we will keep it going as long as we can.

So join us in the mosque or on facebook, email me removed and let's build something together. Sisterhood in Islam is not just an empty word, we strive to make it real and with the help and blessings of Allah, i think it works!

All my love dear sisters in Islam and see you soon.
Wassalam

Assalamu alaykum dear sisters

to respond to many demands to run a Sisters' Cafe on a weekday, we have now started a Monday Sisters' Cafe from 11am to 1pm in the offices of the Amirah Foundation on Hagley Rd

Regency House
97-107 Hagley Rd

Set up is still the same, everyone is welcome (ladies only + children) simply come along to one of our session. We usually ask people who attend to bring some food or drink to share with the group if possible and you are free to invite all your family and friends.


As a reminder our Saturday session is on Saturday from 1pm to 3.30pm in the Daar masjid (right by the swimming baths and the library)

517 Moseley Rd
Balsall Heath

If you have any question sisters, please send me an email: removed. Alhamdulillah many sisters have now joined the cafe after finding out about here and i pray that many more will find us.

Dear sisters

yes the cafe is still running and yes you can still contact me although i've just noticed that my email address has been removed (not by me) from the various posts

Anyway you can use our facebook page to find us: http://www.facebook.com/groups/294339890623598/ or you can leave a message here and i'll receive notifications insha'Allah.

Thank you to all the sisters who have already contacted me and have now become regulars to our cafe sessions. I pray that you are happy with us

Wassalam

PS: brothers, please don't email me about marriage as i wouldn't advise any of my ladies to use internet for the purpose of marriage and no i won't give any contact details either. (yes someone did ask that)

Assalamu alaykum dear sisters

i'm very exciting to announce that the Sisters' Cafe (see posts below) is now running a weekly Seerah Class for beginners (any level welcome) on Saturday from 3pm to 4pm just after the Cafe session in the Daar Masjid on Moseley Rd.

If you wanna know more about the programme and how you can attend, just contact me. Sessions are ladies only (quiet children OK), free and there is no need to register.

Insha'Allah if you're looking for a beginner level Islamic course that you can understand easily and learn lessons that you can apply straight away to your own life, this is for you so be in touch...

Looking forward to meeting new people... Wassalam
