“I would highly recommend the halaqah. We cover a variety of informative and useful topics each week. It's a safe space to ask any questions you like, as the sisters here are always very supportive of each other. We also have the opportunity to learn how to read, reflect upon and implement the Qur'an into our lives in order to learn about Islam and please Allah ﷻ.
I have been attending this study circle for several years, and right from day 1, I found the sisters lovely and supportive. If someone has a problem, bring it to the class, and we will solve it together.
If you’re looking to learn about Islam while in the company of lovely sisters, this is the circle for you!”

“The Friday sisters’ circle is an amazing initiative by Paradise Pearls. May Allah ﷻ accept it from them.
It is one of the main highlights of my week. The focus is clear – it is all about the Qur’an. I like how we personalise the topics encouraging us to constantly strive to be the best version of ourselves; how we can live a happy, content life through the Qur’an, no matter what storm is raging on inside and around us.
It is my happy place. I get to meet sisters from different parts of the world. We reflect. We laugh, and you can feel the love and bond of sisterhood even though it is a virtual session😊. I always leave with a deeper connection with Allah ﷻ and the Qur’an as well as a better understanding of myself and the world around me. Love it!”

“I always look forward to Friday evenings because I get to be in the circle of knowledge at the sister’s Halaqah facilitated by Sister Rahmah of Paradise Pearls. Here, we study verses from the Qur’an and reflect on the meaning of the ayahs as we go.
I especially love these sessions because of the opportunity to listen to the beautiful reflections by other sisters, which is amazing as the verses resonate with different people in different ways.
I love the way sister Rahmah conducts the classes. I always feel connected, and it is like a tonic for the rest of my week. Anytime the classes are cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances, I feel sad and empty.
I ask Allah to bless the facilitator and accept all our acts of Ibadah.”

“The first time I joined the group session, Masha’Allah, it was really beautiful, and it gave me perspective to look at the Qur’an in a different way.
As we grew up, there was always a memory of harshness attached to the Qur’an because of the way we were being taught. It was negative. We were always told that if we don’t do something right or do something wrong, we’d be punished. There was no happy memory attached to it, and maybe that was because our elders had little understanding of the Qur’an too.
But when I came to sister Rahmah’s class, I learned that we could take lessons from the Qur’an and relate it to our daily lives. I learned that we can reflect on it, and gained a different perspective of looking at it Alhamdulillah. When I pick up the Qur’an now I can feel the love of Allah ﷻ and His immense mercy. I’ve now realised that the Qur’an is guidance, and when we have a question or a problem, it gives us the answers.
It’s an amazing class, and the sisters are all so supportive and loving, and I learn so much from everyone there. Alhamdulillah, and thank you for this lovely initiative.“
