Assalamu ʿalaykum,

Modesty is a term with various meanings and interpretations in all religions & societies as a whole. How does Allah define modesty? How was it put into practice by the words and actions of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ? How can we, ourselves, then be modest in a way that is specific to Islam’s definition? This clearly important and timeless concept, both for Muslim men and women, will be the overarching theme for our next halaqah! In Sha Allah we will also cover topics such as the physical manifestations of modesty (i.e. the hijab ?) as well as how we embody this concept in our day to day lives by exerting self-control (i.e. lowering our gaze ?).

Join us on the 22nd of June at 18:00 to learn how to navigate through this Dunya with modesty, especially when living in a very immodest society.

The halaqah will be held in the FNV building, Hereweg 120-6 in Groningen; brothers and sisters will sit separately. The halaqah will be held in Dutch but non-Dutch speakers are more than welcome to attend and will receive a translated transcript in order to follow along.

There will be pizzas and drinks at the halaqah: for members €8,50 and for non-members €10 ?. Please sign up before 20th of June 16:00! You can sign up via: svdeen.nl/aanmelden.

If you wish to pray, we kindly request to bring your own prayer mats ☺️.
