At Muslim Girls of Éire, we've been proud to organise a variety of enriching and exciting events for the young girls in our community. These events are designed to foster personal growth, build friendships, and create meaningful memories while staying connected to our faith and values.
Here’s a list of some of our recent events:
Sisters Qiyam: A Night of Reflection & Connection
Date: March 15th, 2025
Our first-ever Sisters Qiyam event was a spiritually enriching night for women aged 18 and over. This intimate gathering included Qiyam prayers, thought-provoking discussions, and engaging activities such as henna artistry and journaling. The event provided a space for women from various ethnic, cultural, and religious backgrounds to come together in a spirit of shared faith and community. It was a night of reflection, connection, and growth, and we were thrilled by the positive response from attendees, who embraced the opportunity to connect on a deeper level.
Muslim Girls of Éire: Lane 7 Bowling Social
Date: April 22nd, 2025
Our Muslim Girls of Éire youth group hit the lanes for an unforgettable day at Lane 7 — and it was nothing short of amazing! The trip was part of our ongoing initiative to create safe, inclusive spaces where young Muslim girls can bond, have fun, and build lasting friendships.
From strikes to spares (and even a few gutter balls!), the bowling alley buzzed with laughter and sisterhood. Alongside the games, the girls enjoyed arcade challenges, team activities, and delicious food — all set in the vibrant, youth-friendly atmosphere of Lane 7.
More than just a social outing, this event was a chance for the girls to unwind, support each other, and enjoy positive time together outside of school and daily responsibilities. It fostered confidence, belonging, and joy — the very heart of what Muslim Girls of Éire is all about.

The afternoon featured a colourful array of multicultural stalls, henna artistry, relaxing head and hand massages, a lively bazaar, games, a punch machine, and a cosy coffee corner. With every corner offering something unique, guests embraced the spirit of inclusion and unity while forming meaningful bonds with women from all walks of life.
