this kinda ties in with the Sisters Facilities sub section in the "youngsters in committee's" thread and the "sisters help wanted" thread. Its very hard for sisters themselves to organise such things without the help and support of the brothers. But for this to happen BOTH equally need to "get more involved" with such ideas/initiatives.
Even if local aalimahs got together (including ALL the aalimahs who teach in the local madresahs) and got say couple hundred sisters to sign some sort of letter and give that to the masjids it'll help enormously but to just sit around and think its not worth it as its hard to sell the idea to the so called village elders who run most masjids is just not proactive at all. .
Aalimahs with UK fariq ulama in there families (theres A LOT who do have) NEED to constantly push these ulama to sort such things out as a lot of UK fariq ulama simply don't have the zeal to not only set up such programs but to do barely anything. I know UK fariq ulama mostly get put-off by backward-thinking committees so just cant be asked to deal with the agro but theres so many young brothers (from ages of 25 - 35) in the some committees now (or on its fringes who have strong access and influence with in the committee)
Alhumdolillah with brothers and sisters efforts and duas Stamford Hill now have a kinda fixed english program each month, there websites running now which also now (or soon will) has articles written by local UK fariq alims and aalimas (and students from the local muslim schools) and in the next few days the radio transmissions would be up and running inshaallah. But believe me THE biggest thing the borther/s and sister/s who have helped in sorting these few initiatives out over the past few months would like MOST of all is for a sisters circle to start in Stamford Hill very much like the one in Musalla An Noor. It has NOT been totally forgetten but with only 1 or 2 people doing such things (togther with the normal chours of work and family) its not that easy BUT they are still working towards it.
The sisters talim on Sunday is a completely different thing. Its geared to TJ (not saying in a negative way as alhumdilillah I myself take part as much as I can in the TJ effort) BUT I have to at the same time except a lot of sisters are not, regardless of how much effort is made on them, they are just not TJ minded. So for such sisters and many others such classes are very very much needed. I simply CANT be the TJ way or the highway. Its any way that in line with quran and sunnah and has the regular guidance of our ulama.
Musalla an Noor has been running now for approx 2/3 months now and in there tiny place get about 50-60 sisters each time a sisters program takes place - so thats PROOF sisters will come.
