October: Seeking ‘Ilm – Exploring the transformative power of knowledge.

November: Marriage – Half Our Faith – Reflecting on the bond of marriage.

Regular check-ins throughout the year became lifelines for many, ensuring people did not feel alone in their struggles or joys.

The beauty of Women of Tadabbur lies in the reflections and contributions of the women who make up this community.

What sisters say about WoT…

“The rawness of the conversations—the kind that heal your heart. It is a space where I feel safe, a place where I can show up at any time and be embraced with love.”

“There is genuine love for Allah here, and an atmosphere of striving to do better for His sake. The openness, kindness, and acceptance make this space feel like home.”

“It is the accountability, the gentle reminders that you are not alone. Everyone is struggling, but we’re all here, coming as we are. There’s no need for perfection, no judgment, no pressure to impress.”

“I love hearing how each of us connects with the Qur’an in our unique ways and sharing experiences with like-minded women.”

One sister beautifully expressed what Women of Tadabbur represents:

“I see Women of Tadabbur as just the beginning of something beautiful—a legacy that will continue until Judgment Day, until we meet in Jannatul Firdaus, in shaa Allah.”

As we move forward, Women of Tadabbur remains a growing community united by the Qur'an. Each interaction, every suhbah, and all the shared moments of reflection build a foundation for something greater—something timeless.

May Allah continue to bless this community, nurture our bonds, and guide us to embody the Qur’an in our words and actions.

May the coming days bring even more opportunities for growth, reflection, and connection, as we strive to be among those who truly live by the Qur’an and Sunnah.

May Allah ﷻ make the Qur'an the light of our hearts, the cure for our sorrows, and the guidance for our lives.

Here is to another year of tadabbur, suhbah, and growth—together, as Women of Tadabbur.

And you to can join us…

There is room for you here…
