The Belfast Islamic Centre Women’s Group aims to bring together women from all backgrounds, whether they are mothers, daughters, wives, students, unemployed or professionals to collectively seek the pleasure of Allah and to promote and develop themselves in all aspects.

The responsibility of promoting Islam is a duty placed on us all. The Belfast Islamic Centre Women’s Group Believe the Muslim women have a crucial role to play. Working with the principles of Islam The Belfast Islamic Centre Women’s Group Strives to: -
Building a strong and vibrant Muslim community in Northern Ireland
Promoting Islam and Islamic values to non-Muslims within Northern Ireland

The Women’s Group recognise the important responsibility of Muslim women have in Northern Ireland in preserving their Islamic identity in the first instance and that of our future generation.

Our aim to provide a platform from which to learn, build sisterhood, share thoughts and ideas through recreational activities, gain encouragement and motivation to inspire one another to carry out our responsibilities.

We provide a wide range of Social and Educational Activities for the Muslim Women and Children. The group works closely in collaboration with The Belfast Islamic Centre, most classes that we have take place in the centre but we do have a number in other locations or community centre’s. We endeavour to keep strong links with other local organisations and groups, so we can learn respect and understanding of different faiths and cultural diversity from each other.
