Assalamu alaikum

Just a quick message re Dr Farhat Hashmi. I have personal experience as a close family member has been studying with Al Huda for a few years now.

This sister (my family member) was computer illiterate. She now uses Skype, Paltalk and does all her 'coursework' with a netbook using the internet. They do 'assignments' and get 'certificates'. They have organised 'graduations' where part of the emphasis is on recruiting more students. They provide creche facilities for those with children.

The thing is they emphasize tafseer so women get all excited and start quoting from the Quran and Sunnah. Then add to that Peace TV and Islam Channel.

There are courses happening within our circles, eg the Sanatain course (?) but they aren't publicised like Al Huda.

My personal opinion is that courses need to be provided with an ends to a mean. Ie. block weeks with a specific objective eg fiqh of salat with creche facilities. There are online courses like this. Otherwise women won't come out. Having said that, there are women who won't come out anyway - they are a different story.
