Minhaj Women League (MWL) West Bridgford held its weekly Halqa-e-Durood on the 24th of November 2015 at the home of sister Muneer.

Alhamdulillah, this meeting was attended by both MWL members and non-members.

The programme commenced with a beautiful recitation of the Holy Quran by Sister Saima Rafiq and the English translation was read by Sister Nadia Ahmad.

This was followed by listening to excerpts of Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri’s speech explaining the importance of our responsibility to Islam. Shaykh-ul-Islam explained in great detail that every era the faithful have a responsibility towards the faith. In previous ages, it fell upon pious people to spread Islam, for others the responsibility was to collect Hadith.

We must realize that we must make use of every modern method available, so although using a computer is not Sunnah, as it is beneficial to Islam it must be utilized. Shaykh-ul-Islam encourages us to embrace development as a key tool in furthering and protecting the faith.

This was followed by an informal speech by Sister Shahreen Hussain on significance of modesty as cornerstone of Islam. Certain boundaries have been set for both men and women, she said, which we need to follow.

Sister Kausar Yaqoob continued with reading about the methods to purify different items (clothes, ghee, honey etc).

The Mehfil continued with Ziker by all sisters present, and formally concluded by a Dua by Sister Kausar.
