QCPI made a great english friday ceremony "khutba" today
Today QCPI held a sermon at their mosque spoken in english.
It was a very interesting that you can understand what muslims are talking about in their khutba.
the place was full of people of multiple nations
I asked some people about khutba and I found them interested and gained better knowledge.
I would like to thank QCPI group for their effort to help people to understand ISLAM in other languages.
Were trying to set up a MEA group on Qatar living to promote such events like a English Khutba, and for muslims and non muslims to learn more about Islam, even if they cant speak Arabic.
A few brothers have been helping me, however we need a lot more help and we also want to start some sort of sisters study circle, where they can meet people.
Anyhow, for those on Facebook there is group set up Muslims Expats Association of Qatar.

Also Dr.Bilal has started an Islamic Studies Academy that offers an accredited BA degree in Islamic Studies in the English language. You can take courses here and there and not necessarily need to pursue the degree.
Arabic language is also being taught. Visit http://www.islaamicstudiesacademy.com/profile.htm for more info.

Phillips will be speaking next week as well...then other scholars to follow. But it's pertty much a permanent thing.
QCPI is nowadays known as FANAR.
i think qcpi is doing the same at fanar. coz theres' only one place wer the sermon is in english
i think dr. bilal philips will be there only for a month i guess. so 2 khutuba's are already over.

Just so I'm clear, is the khutbah given by Dr. Bilal Phillips at the Fanar building the same one that is being hosted by QCPI?
I am informed that this will happen every Friday inshallah I will attend next Friday onwards
Qatar Centre for Presentation of Islam (QCPI) is located just close to
Souq Faleh and Asiri Masjid with just one Spiral Minaret
Woah....I was just thinking of making a post on this topic asking if anyone attended.QL ers...are definitely very quick to inform/post.

I believe starfish is referring to a different group that gives their khutbah in English. But I could be wrong.
taansari, the sermon in english is at the spiral building. it's very near to corniche. fanar they call it i guess. they have separate space for woman.

@starfish
I am somewhat new to Doha. I was wondering: What is the location of QCPI? At what time do they start their khutbah? And is there also space for women in this?
Makes me realise I really ought to get out more! Or at least watch out for events such as the one you mention. Not sure I would have known where to look, though
