Dearest Versatile Muslimahs!

Eid Al Adha Mubarak to you and your family! We hope you will have a memorable time with your family, friends and community and pray that Allāh ﷻ accepts all our good deeds and efforts to please Him to enter us in the highest levels of Jannah! Aameen! 💕

You asked for it and here it is!
Sister Duaa is coming back tonight for part two of, ‘The Goal Of Parenting’. Join us to learn about raising our next generation in the best way possible so they can become a means of sadaqah jaariyah for us إنْ شاءَ اللهُ

Bring more sisters with you to increase the ajr and to help them benefit as well. The session goes live on Facebook here: http://bit.ly/versatile-muslimah

With Ramadan just around the corner, it is the perfect time to start preparing for it in advance.

To help with your planning, Versatile Muslimah is bringing you a workshop next week by sister Kulsoom, titled ‘Ramadan 2022 Prep’ on Tuesday, January 25th at 5:30pm EST.

Do share your struggles in pushing yourself during Ramadan here or during the live session: http://bit.ly/versatile-muslimah

May Allāh help us reach Ramadan and make it our best one yet! Ameen!

To add to the blessings of Friday, Versatile Muslimah is back with their weekly podcast!

Tune in with sisters Kulsoom and Lana where they discuss the ‘F’ word.

With the increase in western influence in our daily lives, it is important as women to be able to recognize our own identity and not blur it with contradictory ideologies preaching liberalism and feminism.

Let’s take a closer look into feminism with an Islamic lens on our podcast channel: https://spoti.fi/3cJzjeV

Ready with your questions sisters?

This year’s first, ‘Ask a Sheikh Anything’ is back and happening tonight at 7:00pm EST.
Avail this golden opportunity to get the questions you’ve been eager to get an answer for, by Sheikh Usta himself.

Join us when we go live on Facebook here: http://bit.ly/versatile-muslimah

We would love to see you bring more sisters with you who can also benefit from this opportunity. If you prefer to ask your questions anonymously, feel free to submit them here: https://forms.gle/EmgtbyY32gYD1QMY6

Excited to see you all there, Inshā’Allāh!

In our limited time on this dunya, we have mastered the art of building meaningful connections and networking effectively. But have you ever stopped to contemplate on the most valuable connection of them all?

The beauty of building a connection directly with the source, Allāh ﷻ Himself, is that it ensures all else is taken care of on it’s own. He puts all our affairs in order and brings internal peace and satisfaction, along with external stability and success.

How do we work on building this connection? What are we doing wrong? Why is this the only connection that matters?

Sister Aaminah from Versatile Muslimah will discuss this at length in her workshop on, 'The Only Connection that Matters,' this Thursday, January 13th at 5:30pm EST, inshā'Allah!

As always, we would highly appreciate your feedback and questions. Do bring more sisters along to benefit everyone, inshā'Allah.

Living in the west, we are constantly faced with different ideologies and influenced by what’s deemed to be the most acceptable way of living a successful life. Unfortunately, when we make these man-made ideologies our guide to leading our life rather than Allah’s deen, it affects everything around us.

Let’s dive deep into the effects of capitalist thinking with Sr. Maryam Abid and learn how to clear the blurred lines between this destructive mentality and Islam.

Versatile Muslimah will go live on Facebook at 6:00pm EST here: http://bit.ly/versatile-muslimah

To benefit the most, come prepared with questions and share this with other sisters who would find it beneficial as well, Inshā’Allāh.

As a Muslimah in the workplace, it takes courage and strength to wear hijāb for the sake of Allāh ﷻ while going out in the non-Muslim world, trying to compete with your counterparts based on qualifications and experience at work. How can Muslimahs excel in their role in the workplace and seize opportunities, while confidently wearing the hijāb?

Join us tomorrow where we dive deep into this discussion on our podcast channel right here: https://spoti.fi/3cJzjeV

If you haven’t already, make sure to watch the previous episodes so you are all caught up, and do share what you’ve learnt with us on social media, along with your friends and family!

AssalāmuAlaikum ladies!

The start of the new year brings us with exciting new workshops and programs just for you! Take a look at this month’s upcoming programs and workshops and don’t forget to add them into your calendars to plan ahead.

We have new workshops and sessions every week, so stay tuned for more details as we get closer to each session. Share this with everyone you know to get the ajr!

Attention my dearest VM sisters, we have exciting news!

Due to popular demand, Sister Du’a is returning with a brand new series of halaqas on the last Monday of every month on: ‘THE GOAL OF PARENTING’

Starting this Monday, December 27th at 7pm join us in learning how to excel in parenthood and in raising kids who will be the leaders of our future ummah, insha'Allah!

Session goes live on Facebook here: http://bit.ly/versatile-muslimah

Make sure to bring your fellow sisters from your family, community and friends circles to increase the ajr! Do share your questions and feedback with us here. See you all on Monday, insha'Allah!

Time for another VM podcast!

This Friday, sisters Kulsoom and Lana discuss the topic: ‘PERFECT YOUR IMPERFECTIONS’

While our strengths are important to build us up, we often end up ignoring or hiding from our weaknesses. Instead, let’s learn to embrace them, work on them and to even perfect them so that they don’t hold us down anymore or define who we are.

Remember, the only limitations we have are those we set for ourselves.

Join us tomorrow where we dive deep into this discussion on our podcast channel right here: https://spoti.fi/3cJzjeV

If you haven’t already, make sure to watch the previous episodes so you are all caught up, and do share what you’ve learnt with us on social media, along with your friends and family!

AssalāmuAlaikum sisters!
It’s Friday, and it’s time for a new VM podcast!

Join sister Kulsoom and sister Lana as they discuss the attacks that took place in London, Ontario earlier this year due to an extreme case of Islamophobia.

We can only imagine the emotional turmoil of what the family of the deceased must have gone through. This attack not only affected family members, but it shook the entire Muslim ummah. When we witness increasing incidences like these, how do we react? More importantly, how can we prevent future incidences as such from happening again?

Listen in and make sure to share your feedback sisters! Link to the podcast is right here:

Work or stay at home?
Career or family?
Obedience to the husband?

Being a Muslim woman in this day and age is both frustrating and confusing. Islam is re-interpreted for us in many different shades, and the lines start to get blurred about what we can and cannot do as a Muslimah.

Without a shadow of a doubt, a woman can take up innumerable roles, alongside the many responsibilities she already has.

But the question stands: what is her place in society? How can she contribute to the goodness of her community? Most importantly, what does it mean to be a Muslim woman?

We know that you are not just a woman, but a truly VERSATILE one at that! We know that you are not limited to one role; we know that you are not restricted to one position; we know you have hidden potential inside you!

Hence why, i3 Institute is also offering sisters-only Young Da'iyah classes:

Guess what!
