As Salam Alaikum wa ratmatuallah wa barakatu,
Welcome to the Cork Muslim Women's Group
As a group we have many aims among them is to create a proper community for the sisters in Cork. The group is something the sisters can turn to in times of hardship as well as in times of joy. We are a support group for sisters. We are active in our local community as well as in the community of Cork endevouring to change the image of what a Muslim woman is. Through our actions we try to change peoples impression of Islam and who muslims are, as well as creating an image for the Irish Muslim and getting the Irish Muslim recognised.
We organise many events and activities including days out for the sisters, like trips to Blarney Castle or Fota Wildlife Park. We also organise events open to the wider public - last year we organised an Interfaith Dialogue which took place in April 2007 between Sheik Abdur Raheem Green and Fr Sean O'Sullivan.
We have two upcoming events. First a motivational course for Muslim Women which will take place on Saturday 26th April 2008 in Cork Mosque. Secondly we are organising a talk called "Muslim Women in Cork - Who are we?" on Sunday 27th April in the Parnell Room of the Victoria Hotel, Cork. This talk is open to the public and will take place as part of LadyFest Cork Full details of both events can be found here.
We invite you to browse though the rest of our site. If you have any question or comments please forward them on to us here.
Wa'Salam
