About Katiba Collective
Reviving Tradition
Katiba Collective is a hub for Islamic learning - rooted in classical tradition and built for Australian women and girls today.
We offer courses, events, and publications designed with one mission: to make Islam deeply relevant and accessible, yet authentically rooted in its intellectual and spiritual heritage.
Our work is grounded in scholarship, nurtured through community, and delivered with clarity, care, and conviction - helping women live, learn, and lead with purpose.
Why “Katiba”?
In Arabic, kātiba means “female scribe.” The name reflects our commitment to meaningful writing, teaching, and the transmission of Sacred knowledge; faithful to the past, engaged with the present.
Our core streams:
Katiba Press: Publications, curricula, and narrative nonfiction
Katiba Events: Public conferences, masterclasses, and events
Katiba Academy: Structured online learning through in-depth courses and programs
Together, they form a collective effort to rewrite what it means to learn and teach as Muslim women today.
