Halaqah linguistically means “circle” in Arabic. Often a halaqah, is a religious gathering- a study circle. In these gatherings, people generally sit in a circle and it is said the angels also sit in circles surrounding the gathering until they reach our Creator to tell Him that His servants are remembering Him in a gathering.

SIMCMS will be hosting Halaqah Series on a monthly basis focusing on various topics such as ethics, religion, economics, culture, science and many more, which fits in our club's mission & vision.
