About this Event

From the earliest generations of Islam, Muslim women have illuminated the world as scholars, leaders, and builders of communities — guiding hearts with knowledge, compassion, and faith. This session invites us to revive that radiant legacy by beginning where all true leadership begins: within the self. Through reflection on tazkiyah (purification of the soul) and the leadership of the nafs, we will explore how to cultivate discipline, sincerity, and spiritual strength as the foundation of outward leadership. From there, we expand outward — nurturing leadership within our families, uplifting our communities, and contributing to the transformation of society. Together, we will discover practical ways to lead with purpose and to support each other, so that every woman becomes a source of light, guiding and training future leaders grounded in faith, character, and excellence.
