Muslim Marriage Event

MUSLIM MARRIAGE EVENT - BIRMINGHAM

Assalamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu.
May this message find you in the best of health and Iman Insha'Allah.

MUSLIM MARRIAGE EVENT - BIRMINGHAM

Date: Sunday 27th June 2004
Time: 2pm - 7pm
Venue: South Birmingham College, Cole Bank Road,
Hall Green, Birmingham, B28 8ES

* Are you seriously looking to get married?
* Are you and your family finding it very difficult to
find someone compatible in a halal way?

Please note, this event is NOT:

* Speed dating
* A management consultancy project aimed at posh/rich "professionals"?
* A good opportunity for casual free-mixing

Quite often we just complain, moan and sometimes
discuss the difficulties in trying to get married. We
can keep discussing until our hair turns grey but how
do we deal with these issues practically?

We are pleased to announce a Muslims marriage event in Birmingham
where the emphasis will be on providing solutions and bringing people
together.

* Extensive opportunities for introductions to take place.
* Special session in Urdu and Bengali for parents and
guardians who may have difficulties with English.
* A whole college has been hired, where there will be
a mixture of small group workshops and larger feedback sessions,
as well as sessions for introductions.
* This event is not just for "religious" people. All Muslims are
welcome.

What are the solutions for the following problems in our society?

1. You want to marry someone you like but your PARENTS
are the main obstacle. What do you do?
2. How to encourage brothers to stop being so docile
and start being real men, and marry sisters HERE in
the UK.
3. How to encourage sisters to start realising that
there are more important priorities in life than one's
own career.
3. What is wrong with DIVORCEES and those with
DISABILITIES - how can they get married?

* Have you had enough of websites, paid & free
marriage services, full of time wasters and dodgy
people?
* Are you fed up with pretentious "halal" singles
evenings in posh restaurants?
* Are you sick and tired of mosque and organisation
based services, where you have to be best friends with
the committee members or they won't help you.
* Perhaps you're a revert or have very few friends and
family contacts?
* Maybe you're thinking, "I don't practice but my
heart is in Islam and I want to find someone who is
Muslim. So-called practicing people don't bother
helping because they look down on me or are simply
'too pious' and just 'too busy active in da'wah' (yeah
right)".

This is an event that would not only provide solutions
but also where you could meet your potential match, insha'Allah.

Experienced facilitators who have been invited
include:

* Mufti Abdul Kadir Barkatulla (Finchley Mosque, London)
* Dr Muhammad Naseem (Birmingham Central Mosque)
* Sister Najma Ebrahim (Muslim Women's Helpline)
* Maulana Hasan Ali (Lecturer and producer of "Family Life in Islam"
series)
* Sister Sufia Amin (Young Muslims UK)
* Brother Abu Muntasir (Jam'iat Ihyaa Minhaaj As-Sunnah)
* Brother Ajmal Masrur (Islamic Society of Britain)
* Brother Hassan Ahmed (Islamic Forum Europe)
* Brother Zahid Amin (Young Muslims UK)
and many others.

It is mandatory to bring one or both parents. If this
is not possible, then someone who would be able to
influence the parents. Why is this? Because research
has shown that parents are half the problem. If you
don't have parents or a wali or you are a convert then
you can of course still come. Divorcees, widowers and
people with disability are most welcome. No passport
and asylum seekers please.

Cost: GBP10 per person. Please bring a prayer mat/cloth
with you.

* Unfortunately no children allowed on this occasion.
* Pre-registration is compulsory, either by phone or email.
* Refreshments available
* Selected bookstalls available
