About Katiba Collective
Cultivating Thinking Muslims
A space for thinking Muslim women, grounded in tradition and open to deep reflection. Katiba Collective is a learning platform where Sacred knowledge meets modern life.
We deliver courses, events, and resources for Muslim women seeking depth, clarity, and practical guidance in every stage of their lives rooted in Islamic tradition.
All our offerings are facilitated by female scholars trained in the classical Islamic sciences, creating spaces that are intellectually serious, spiritually nourishing, and emotionally safe.
Why “Katiba”?
In Arabic, kātiba means “female scribe.” The name reflects our commitment to meaningful transmission of Sacred knowledge while being faithful to the past and engaged with the present.
Our Vision
To cultivate a community of thinking, educated, and grounded Muslim women. The graphic below shows our vision for what a thriving Muslim community in the West requires. At Katiba Collective, we focus on Stage 3 education: deep, practical, and spiritually rooted learning.
(If you are working on any other stage, may Allah bless, increase, and accept you).
