IRFAN UL QUR’AN COURSE FOR FEMALE STUDENTS.
Islam is a complete religion which has taught mankind a complete code of conduct. There are two authentic sources of “Guidance”, Qur’an & Sunnah. There is no doubt that the Qur’an is the key to success and the secret for achievements in any field of everyday life and in the life hereafter. When we take a glance at our past, we come to know that Muslims ruled over for a very marvelous period when they were holding on to the Qur’anic teachings tightly. But as we left it, our downfall started. Hazrat Abdullah Ibne Abbass, One of the most famous Companion of Holy Prophet (pbuh) says;
“Whenever even my shoelace is lost, I used to open Qur’an and start finding it from Qur’an.
Unfortunately, when we disconnected ourselves from the Qur’an and started wandering aimlessly in our thoughts, ideals and practices we left out true path.
Minhaj ul Qur’an women league is working tirelessly to bridge this abyss through the promotion of real Islamic values. One of its great contributions is spreading a network of Qur’anic circles, which are commonly known as “Halaqa Irfan ul Qur’an”. This takes multi-dimensional planning, with proper and effective teams, creating confidence in the workers to gain success and provide a great spiritual support. These are the distinctive factors of Minhaj ul Qur’an women league. The Irfan ul Qur’an course is one of many run by them. This is a special secondary Course designed for those sisters who qualify this criteria;
