I'm not sure if this is relevant to post as maybe it's becoming the normal thing these days. I know three more sisters who come from traditional hanafi/guji backgrounds join the al Huda course.... Why? There's no other ideal alternative.... maybe there is but they don't advertise and promote as well as Al Huda. I went to one of their graduation ceremonies... they were so organised, handing out bottles of water and little gift bags with leaflets, cds and duah books. They have a strong missionary ethos inviting all to their courses.... you have diplomas and teacher training courses... the most attractive being the tafseer classes......
