Start Your journey of transformation with the Qur’an
ABOUT US
Qur’an Halaqah is a project that yearns to encourage and practically support sisters on their Qur’an journeys. The overwhelming focus is on ensuring sisters transform themselves through, and excel in, their study of and interaction with the Qur’an. Our goal is for us all to foster the strongest relationship with our Rabb and journey to Him through His Speech.
May Allah make us truthful and sincere, accept this as a means of seeking His pleasure and raise our ranks.
~Ya rabb, please, make us from your people and your specialties ~
WHY? – THE PROBLEM
WHAT? – THE INTIATIVE
HOW? – THE STRUCTURE
THE STORY SO FAR
A version of Qur’an Halaqah has been running with a group of sisters over the last 5 years. Most recently the ‘Internalising Juz Amma’ series focused on sisters reciting, understanding, memorising and reviewing Juz Amma with an emphasis on sisters using their understanding and reflections to better their characters and lives.
PAST EVENT
THe QUR’aN and Me:
An Exclusive Live Talk Show with Sumayah Hassan (Recite and Reflect)
By the grace of Allah we have already had our first successful meet up. On the 13th May, 55 beautiful sisters came together to be inspired by, and learn from, one sister’s Qur’an journey to date. Sisters also took part in a unique workshop which helped them plan for their engagement with the Qur’an during Ramadan and beyond. Sisters focused on creating their very own Dream Qur’an Milestones and Dream Qur’an Schedules and here is what one attendee had to say in the days following our event:
”If I am very honest I very rarely read the Qur’an. I am one of those people who run to the Qur’an when a calamity hits…I so badly want to change that. I always make the excuse that I don’t have the time to get into it, or if I am super honest, I often don’t feel like it…Yesterday we learnt some productivity hacks which included scheduling and accountability. I now realise small pockets of time are enough.”
“Today I memorised Surah Al Qadr. I’ve been making excuses for over a year. Today while I worked I used those pockets of time and got it memorised subhanAllah”

PREVIOUS RETREAT
HAS THE TIME NOT YET COME?
Humbling Our Hearts: An Exclusive Sisters’ Qur’an Retreat
REFLECTING ON OUR FIRST QUR’AN RETREAT: Missed it? Missed OUT!
This unique retreat, took place from Friday 28th July – Sunday 30th July 2017 at De Vere Latimer Estate, and revolved around this moving ayah:
“Has the time not come for those who have believed that their hearts should become humbly submissive at the remembrance of Allah and what has come down of the truth? And let them not be like those who were given the Scripture before, and a long period passed over them, so their hearts hardened; and many of them are defiantly disobedient”
~SURAH HADEED : 16~
We welcomed 70 sisters to our inaugural Qur’an Retreat full of inspiration, practical tips and good company in an intimate and luxurious setting!
Retreat leaders and speakers included Sheikhah Wafa Hussein Yee, Sister Farhia Yahya and Ustadh Asif Uddin. We focussed on preparing our hearts as a tool of understanding- for the heart is the place of iman, the king of the body and the best place to start when developing a relationship with the Qur’an. We strove to develop sisters’ awareness of fear and hope and enable them to take the steps towards implementing these noble actions of the heart and becoming the best versions of themselves.
Sisters engaged in a variety of sessions and activities ranging from workshops to forest hikes and calligraphy sessions. They experienced our High Performance Coaching Techniques, listened to well versed speakers and learned from others’ experiences.
“This retreat is something that I needed, and I feel Allah has answered my du’aas”
MOVING FORWARD
After our successful events and launch last year we are busy preparing and planning to have lasting impact. We have also recruited our first set of Qur’an Coaches who are advanced students of the Qur’an and who will take part in our Qur’an Coach Training Programme. They are undergoing rigorous training to coach and encourage other sisters to progress in their Qur’an journeys.

ANNOUNCING OUR SECOND QUR’AN RETREAT: Miss it? Miss OUT!
This unique retreat, taking place from Friday 3rd August – Sunday 5th August 2018 at De Vere Latimer Estate, and will revolve around Surat Al Fatihah:
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.
[All] praise is [due] to Allah, Lord of the worlds. The Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. Sovereign of the Day of Recompense. It is You we worship and You we ask for help. Guide us to the straight path –The path of those upon whom You have bestowed favour, not of those who have evoked [Your] anger or of those who are astray.
~SURAt AL FATIHAH~
Come for inspiration, practical tips and good company in a luxurious and intimate setting.
We all know how important Surat Al Fatihah is, it represents an intimate conversation between the slave and her Rabb, it is referred to as the key to life and is a key pillar of salah.
How do we benefit from this oft repeated Surah, so as to benefit from the Qur’an and become the best versions of ourselves?
