Any Muslims?

Post new topic

arianahakim

Hello everyone! I just moved to St. Petersburg a couple weeks ago. I was wondering if there are any Muslims out there (particularly women) who want to hang out and do something? Most Muslimahs I've met don't speak English so it can be a bit of bummer sometimes. Non-Muslims are welcome, of course, there's no club of exclusivity here. I'm very a friendly and active person.

Hello Tarek, I'm alright. I'm here for 1 year. I'm looking for a halal food shop. I know there is one by the masjid but it was quite small and it seemed that they really only had beef and some sausages. Also, I don't really speak much Russian so I'm a little nervous to ask for something. Do you know of any other places?

Hi! So it doesn't seem that hijabis are extremely welcome in the working world. I am just starting to try to wear hijab full time (except work) but I guess it's up to us to change the idea of Muslim women in the workplace. I have had an offer for a job from another Muslimah to work at her language school but I already have my full time contract so I had to decline her offer this year. So it's hard but possible!
