A LIGHT OF YOUR OWN.
a course made for you, wherever you are in your journey
A Love Letter to Muslim Women
Self-paced · Start anytime · Lifetime access
A deep-dive course to accompany the book that includes guided reflections, discussions, and scholarly discussions for women who want to go further.
This course is for the woman who has been trying to get it right for years, and is quietly exhausted by trying. You don't need to get it more right. You need to understand it more deeply.
Wherever you are in your journey… single, married, a new mother, a grandmother, a woman waiting, this course has a place for you.
IN THIS COURSE, YOU WILL…
Build a grounded understanding of your relationship with Allah
You take your faith seriously, and you deserve a spirituality that actually reflects that. Whether you are going deeper for the first time or finding your way back after years of distance, this course meets you where you are to give you the knowledge and clarity to stop second-guessing yourself.
Establish a framework of your relationships
From your marriage to your community, this course offers fresh, scholarship-rooted frameworks for the parts of your life that have never been addressed honestly. Not cultural assumptions. The Qur'an and Sunnah, applied to your real life.
Shift your view of your own body and worship
This course shifts the perspective women are given on their bodies, removing it from the narrow lens society and cultures created and instead broadens the understanding that Islam provides–paving the way for opportunities of worship that women have been deprived of.
Create a record of your own becoming
Your workbook and journaling prompts will document your growth over the weeks of this journey: eight weeks of Before/After snapshots that show you, in your own handwriting, what has shifted.

Week 5: Your Marriage
Marriage in Islam is a mercy and a responsibility, but it is not your whole identity. This week we return to what the deen actually says about marriage and spousal rights, and what it looks like to build something together with ihsan.

Week 6: Your Intimacy
Allah designed intimacy with intention. The shame many of us carry around it was never part of the design. This week we name what was given to us in the deen, and let go of what wasn't.
