An email from a sister:

Assalamu alaikum sisters. I think many of you might have heard of this program but i just wanted to send out a reminder and let you guys know that it is happening in two weeks. All of the teachers are, mashallah, amazing in their own right and i can say that from being around them before. But i specifically wanted to recommend Ustadah Eiman Sidky. I had attended her class on the seera of the prophet Mohammad sallalahu alaihi wassalam and subhan allah, i have never had seera in that manner. It is as if she has been there and is narrating what she has just experienced. I think i don't even have the words to describe the way she brings the blessed seera. You just have to attend it to experience it.

Tawfiq inshallah,

Manija.

IN PERSON

The Rahmah Foundation is an independent, educational organization that is committed to continuously designing retreats and educational programs that will address topics unique to Muslim women. Through the centuries, Muslims have preserved and protected the Quran and Sunnah through the rigorous Ijaza system of scholarly licensure and certification. The Rahmah Foundation realizes the critical need to safeguard Islam from extremism and deviation and thus commits itself to selecting thoroughly qualified teachers--women who have studied and trained to meet exact criteria in both their knowledge and practice--to disseminate sacred knowledge to the rest of our sisters.
