The Muslim Women's Association of Edinburgh was set up at the end of 2005 by a group of Muslim women who found a lack of social activities for Muslim Women in Edinburgh.
This group is run entirely by volunteers, working with women and their families in Edinburgh and the Lothians to build a stronger community through education and social activities.

Introduction to Quranic Arabic
The course will be run by an experienced Arabic teacher from Al Andalus, Glasgow, who is not a native Arabic speaker thus understands the challenges faced by English speakers in learning the language.
The course is designed to be delivered as three 10 week blocks, ie over 3 terms. The start date is Saturday 21st April 3-6pm
The course will equip one to develop a deeper understanding of the Quran with the first two terms covering essential grammar with quranic vocabulary, so that by the third term one will begin to be able to analyse Quranic verses inshAllah.
The 3 hour session will include both teaching time and time for practice exercises to reinforce the concepts learnt while the teacher is available to answer questions.
The course is fairly intensive and requires a level of committment to benefit from it fully.
The cost of the course is £100 for the first 10 week term.
If you are interested in the course please email Sabira sangeetadhami@hotmail.com or 07912 612596

Sisters' Resource Circle:
Pray & Play, Qur'an Workshop & Children's Items Exchange
Wednesday 4th and 11th April 2012
Edinburgh Central Mosque
10.30 -11.00am
Sisters arrive and settle children in, playing with toys and doing activities available;
11:00 – 11:30 Reflecting upon the Qur'an Workshop
Sisters gather in a circle for the Qur'an Workshop.
The facilitator will open the session with explaining the agenda, a recitation of Suratul Fatihah
In small groups:
Sisters read aloud different English translations of selected Ayah from the Quran and tafseer
Sisters discuss the meanings of these Ayah and reflect on their relevance in their personal lives at the moment.
N.B. The facilitator makes it clear that we are not scholars and therefore not expecting to derive the ultimate meaning of Ayah form the Qur'an; rather, our intention is to spend time with the Qur'an and to reflect upon its personal relevance to ourselves at this time.
11:30 – 12:00 Children's Items Exchange
