Event Details

The Prophet Muhammad said “Only an honourable man treats women with honour and integrity, and only a vile and dishonorable man humiliates and degrades women.” Being a Muslim is often more than a religious identity. In order to have a deeper understanding of the real role of women in Islam, diverse perspectives on gender and women in Islam, and how Islam personally treats to women, we are holding a seminar with the participation of Dr Chris Hewer on Monday, 18th February 2019 at our community building in Attercliffe, Sheffield. We will have the special opportunity to listen to his insights and thoughts on women in Islam. The event will start at 6.30pm and will consist of two sessions and a refreshment break. We kindly invite anyone who is interested. We also believe that such events give us the opportunity to get together and get to know new people. Therefore, everyone is welcome. The event is free of charge.

The Launch of the Faith Leaders in Sheffield Charter for Education

Over recent months the Faith Leaders’ Group in Sheffield has agreed a charter of principles to guide the way children from different religions learn about and encounter other faiths. This is a significant step forward in our goal of building community cohesion, with each faith leader committing to ensuring children from their religion learn, with tolerance and respect, about the beliefs and practices of our neighbours.

We intend to launch this charter at the Interfaith Event hosted by the Islamic Society of Britain at St Andrew’s Psalter Lane Church (31 Psalter Ln, Sheffield S11 8YL), on Tuesday, 20th November 2018 at 6.00pm.

Following the launch, you would be welcome to stay for the full evening of discussion and sharing together.

For catering purposes please could you let us know if you are planning to join us for the launch by emailing Abdool Gooljar at aq.gooljar@isb-sheff.org.uk, or phoning 07930 313 773

We look forward to sharing in this launch and the work that will follow.
