Wasla- WOMEN ASSISTING SISTERS LIVING ABROAD

When moving away from a familiar place and culture, it is very helpful if there is a strong community to support you in your transition to your new life. This will soon include more community building information, but for now, check out these Egroups.

Halaqas and other useful infomation in the Maadi Area.

As salaamu alaikum wa rahmatallah wa barakatu. This is a group for muslim women (muslimahs) married to muslim Egyptian men. We are open to talking about any and all issues, and believe in the right to freedom of speech to express our opinions, within the limits of Islamic adab of course. We recognize personal differences, are not afraid to discuss them, and hope to learn from them. We fear Allaah first and foremost above all else and live our lives to serve Him. If you feel like you have found the right place, come on in! We welcome you with open arms!

We are a group of women seeking Truth through the study of Islam. It may be difficult to attend our weekly Islamic study meeting in the area of Cairo, Egypt. This egroup will make it easier to learn along with the attendees as we review Qur'an, Islamic history and other topics of interest to female students of Islam. ****Be aware that NONE of us are certified scholars; our information is collected from various sources and we make no claims for its correctness or approval by Muslim scholars.****

This group is for non-Egyptian women (18 and over) living in Egypt. It is a place to learn from each other, help each other and form friendships.
It's a place to , share trials and triumphs, ask questions, share experiences, venting etc. It's for the newcomer who needs help and the oldtimer who wants to help the newcomers and share what they have learnt and just make new friends.

Assalaamu alaikum and Welcome!
This is a moderately religious AND cultural email group. It will, insha Allah, be a fun and lively place where we can discuss our collective experiences as wives (or fiancees) of Egyptian Muslims. This group is for Muslim WOMEN (or those seriously intending to convert) only---sorry, no MEN allowed! We hope this will be a place where we can grow in Islam, and also share our stories of life with an Egyptian male---is it any wonder our initials are "WOE"---lol! This list is, for the time being, unmoderated, meaning all sisters are free to post what they wish, within the boundaries of Islamic adab.

Discussion list for wives or fiances of Muslim Egyptians from Port Said/Port Fouad, Egypt ONLY! FOR WOMEN ONLY! You need not be living in Port Said currently, though many of us do/did/hope to. We hope to help each other with living and cultural adjustments to a city that is QUITE different from Cairo or Alexandria! We also hope to develop a list of resources valuable to those who live or, insha Allah, will live or travel there. AT THIS TIME, BECAUSE WE ARE A BRAND NEW GROUP, WE WILL ONLY ACCEPT MEMBERS WHO ARE MARRIED OR ENGAGED TO PORT SAID/PORT FOUAD MUSLIMS.

This group is for WOMEN ONLY who are living in or moving to Alexandria, Egypt. It is an updated Calendar of Events. This group also passes the knowledge of islam from what we are learning in Alexandria from lessons, classes, lectures onto other sisters that do not have time to attend all of the Events.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Salafisisters_in_Misr/

This Group was created especially for Salafi Sisters who adhere to the Quran and Sunnah, ascribed to AD-DAWATUS-SALAFIYYAH and have made hijrah or are here studying in Misr. Our focus is to allow the muslimaat who have come to misr to offer some beneficial words of encouragement to others to in an effort help them in their Hijrah as a servant of Allah, Wife, Mother, and Student. The hijrah its self,or just being a stranger in a foreign land can be a test. So speaking with others who are also experiencing the same thing as you, can be helpful at times. Insha'allah. This group is strictly to offer advice and and help one another in the dunya affairs, and we would like to avoid getting into fiqh issues that may cause fitnah between one another.
