During the class time President Women League Respected Baji Salma Zaffar Sahiba together with one another member of our women league (which changes their duty every week) stays with them and takes care that every thing is going smoothly. And also gave her valuable suggestions & advises to girls about clothes, that what kind of clothes they should wear and what kind of clothes or styles are forbidden in Islam and are not good to wear being a Muslim and why?? because that’s not the right way to stop some one in the name of Islam without telling them the reasons or its harms in the practical life and further in the whole society.

Minhaj ul Quran International is providing a lot of opportunities to us. only in Oslo at the moment dozen of programs and courses are running for everyone young, old, children, men and women, and on every aspect of the life just for the betterment and awareness of the Muslim Ummah.
