Through our one-year diploma course at Al Huda, and the word-for-word translations available on audiotape, they will learn to understand the Holy Quran directly.
For example, the majority of Muslims outside the Arab world don't speak Arabic so they can't understand the Holy Quran without relying on translations. Women have specific educational needs in the 21st century and we simply don't have the institutions that cater to them. Why has there been no access to religious education for women? Also I think there is an urgent need to deal with women's issues and they find it easier to relate to a woman. Women recognise how liberating and empowering religion can be but the problem is they haven't had the means of acquiring this knowledge. It never ceases to amaze me that wherever I go in the world, I see an intense desire for Muslim women to educate themselves about their religion. We are trying to promote true Islamic teachings through reviving its humanitarian spirit.Īl Huda has had tremendous success all over the world with thousands of women listening to your tapes and attending your lectures. Also, for quite some time, a lot of women have expressed an interest to bring the course to the UAE.Īl Huda is a non-sectarian educational and research institute based in Pakistan, which my husband and I founded in 1994. There is a huge Urdu-speaking community here in Dubai, both Muslim and non-Muslim, that I can reach out to. In this way, a large number of women can be taught the entire Holy Quran on basic level within the month of Ramadan. In accordance with this, we devised a programme called Fahm Al Quran in which one para (chapter) is taught with translation and brief explanation on a daily basis. It is the month in which the Holy Quran was revealed and every Ramadan, the Prophet (PBUH) would recite to the Angel Gabriel all of the Holy Quran that had been revealed to him. What is the significance of this Ramadan Quran course? Gulf News spoke to her about this lofty undertaking. Indians, Pakistanis and Urdu-speaking locals are gathering in huge numbers in Dubai to attend her Ramadan Quran course. Dr Farhat Hashmi, renowned scholar from Pakistan and Chief Executive of Al Huda Institute, has been causing waves among the Urdu-speaking community in the UAE.
