Muslim Womanhood

Help us to continue building an organisation that nurtures resilient, motivated and committed women.

Women are half of the Ummah and they raise the other half -  to nurture them is to uplift the Ummah!

We are on a mission to MOTIVATE, EDUCATE and FORTIFY Muslim women in our precarious times. Help us to launch a conference, educational institution and powerful campaigns for Muslim women. Muslim Women are half of the Ummah and they give birth to the other half. Safeguarding the Iman and commitment of women is of paramount importance and removing the obstacles to that is essential.

Muslim women are constantly targeted by the media, politicians, the fashion and other industries who seek to influence us and can work to diminish our commitment to our faith. Help us to reclaim our narrative powerfully and to fortify women from within, supporting them to stay true to their relationship with Allah, committed to their families as the backbone of society.

We envision a world where every woman holds confidently to the rope of Allah.

I am your sister Fatima Barkatulla and I need your help to build a Muslim women's organisation that really speaks your language and addresses our sisters’ Islamic needs.

A few years ago we organised the largest Muslim women's conference in Europe - SEEDS OF CHANGE.​

Thousands of women were inspired to make positive change in their lives and in their communities.

In the past year, with your help we have:

• Established the foundations of the Muslim Womanhood Foundation
• Held two consultations with sisters from various walks of life in the UK
• Identified the key issues that need addressing for Muslim women’s spiritual growth in the West
• Identified the key struggles that being a Muslim woman in the UK brings.
• Clarified our vision & strategy for the organisation
• Planned and negotiated a venue for the Seeds of Change Conference
• Begun to build an effective team.

Your donation will help us:

• Launch the largest Muslim Women’s Conference in Europe, equiping hundreds of women to better serve their communities and families.
• Launch a Da’iyah Retreat for female scholars and Halaqah leaders, providing thought-leadership to influential teachers in their communities.
• Hire pivotal talent, to bring our vision to help women with the challenges of living in the West, to life.
• Launch ‘Muslimah Excellence’ - our platform for transformational Tarbiyah and Islamic Self-Development courses and content to thousands of students and ISocs across the UK.
• Launch ‘The Muslim Womanhood Show’ on satellite television channels to reach millions of women globally.

Extraordinary results require extraordinary supporters.

This is where you come in!

ABOUT OUR TEAM

At present our team is a small group of highly experienced sisters who have worked in some of the top Da’wah organisations in the UK for a number of years, on a number of key projects. We have felt for a long time now that an organisation for women is very much needed and are working diligently on an effective strategy for the organisation and its areas of focus.
