Muslim/Islam clubs or groups

Posted Tue, 22/09/2009 - 01:02 by zara_2k

Does anyone know of any Muslim or Islamic groups or clubs that my 8 year old daughter could join?

As an only child she gets very lonely and bored.

She goes to Brownies where they play and do arts and crafts.

I would like her to join a Muslim club or group where she can make friends, learn about Islam, socialise, do activities etc..

It would be interesting to know if there are any male and also female social events/sport activities that happen for the adult population to network and socialise. Even Islamic learning on a regular basis would be nice, do any of you know of any such things in the city?

Assalamu-Alaikum, for ladies

Assalamu-Alaikum,

for ladies there are alot of classes on various aspects of Islam at Al-Meezan, Rowan St, south-side of Glasgow.

I believe Masjid Al-furqan does various things for men (west-end)

And for both men&women (i think) there is also Andalus, which is again in the west-end

Hope this helps

Salam,

Depends what kind of thing youre looking for.

I attend a ladies class on (Nithsdale Road, pollokshields) most friday evenings where I learn about tafseer, islam and correct my quran. The main thing i like about it is that its not too rushed, some days can be quiet and i get the chance to ask the sisters any questions I have, which ive not been able to do in some other classes. If you want a more personal and one on one class, this is something you'd like.

I feel comfortable as I don't feel intimitated or pressuried into coming every week, coz some firdays i can be busy and not attend and the sisters have nevered pestered me about "punctuality" - alhamdulillah they understand that friday can get busy and so forth....

It's not just classes for ladies, but they also hold classes for children 5-17yrs. My 2 daughters (10 and 14) are quite reluctant to go places and I was quite shocked that they really enjoy these classes and what they learn. But i suppose when you're in that environment and being taught by someone a little older than yourself, you can relate to it more.

I would suggest that you try this out and see how it goes....

the classes take place on fridays 7:30-9pm at 159 Nithsdale Road (next to the Madrasa Taleemul Islam) in Pollokshields. sorry i dnt have a number..

Is there any social clubs

by Anonymous - 11 Oct 2011 - 10:06

Is there any social clubs gearded for Muslim women where Muslim women can meet other women for socialising? As I have no extended family, do not live in the community, I feel isolated.

Alot of people have alot of relatives and family friends etc where they meet up or go to their inlaws etc or live in amoung the community.

When you do not have such netowrk, not in a married wives club, mother toddler group etc, when you are on your own, where are you suppose to meet people for friendship?

This is a serious problem. Not everyone has someone they can talk to, meet up and spend company with. If there are such facilities, where are they?

If there are old peoples group, which they meet up for general chit chat, company, socialising, then surely there should be something catered for other groups also on similar bases, or nobody thought of it yet?

I phoned Amina and the befriending group is only during the day on a Wednesday afternoon. As I work I cannot attend. This then still asks me, where are faciilities for Muslim working women to meet other Muslim women for networking and socialising?

I get the feeling there is none, yet the city, being the largest community in Scotland, we don't have one!

I am sure you must have friends?

Why not try meeting friends of friends and swapping numbers with others that you come across.

Try getting re-acquainted with old school, college, uni friends.

Try going out for a meal in a group every once in a while so this way you have something to look forward to.

There are Islamic groups that meet up in the evenings but it sounds as if you are just looking to meet up with pals.

No I do not have any friends,

by Anonymous - 16 Oct 2011 - 21:26

No I do not have any friends, that is why I have asked here for info. All the people I have known in my time have married and no longer keep in touch via school, uni etc. When I attended education, there were not many Muslims around.

As I do not drink etc, the non Muslim friends I had become less distant as I do not take part in those social gathering that conflict with my life style.

I will try islamic groups to learn more of Islam, but I am mainly looking at networking as every human has a desire for wanting social company. Some people just take things for granted and don't realise other peoples difficulties.

I came across a new group

I came across a new group called Alliance - Minority Ethnic Empowerment Network in Glasgow. They promote respect between different cultures and religions and they got volunteers from different backgrounds helping out.

Maybe you could try AlMeezan and get to know the many sisters there.

Sister, if you start attending an Islamic class anywhere, even iSyllabus (www.isyllabus.org.uk) then inshaAllah you will make Muslim friends some of whom may be in the same boat as you (working similar timings, wanting to socialise similar timings, etc) and then you could work from there.
