Assalamu ‘alaykum wa rahmatullaah wa barakaatuhu 🌸
Hiii Maktabah Sisterssss 🌸
I’m back in your inbox and I hope you have been in the best state of imaan and health since our last letter (can you believe that Eid was three weeks ago?🥹)
If you have been hit by the post-Ramadan slump (like me🫠), then I have something special for you to look back on your Ramadan, reset and reflect to get past this slump.
You know how big we are on journaling here #AtMaktabah so here is a special collection of reflection prompts to help you find your way forward. You can get that for FREE by using this link
Now for the surprises🎉 first, we have a special segment of virtual cave launching this week!🌸
Virtual Cave:
Ramadan is the month of the Qur’an and we feel that connection more than ever in the month - it feels like our days and nights are enriched with it🥹
Does that connection have to stop now that the month is over? No.
In fact, we need it more than ever (especially with shaytaan and his cronies lurking around🫠)
So, our amazing Virtual Cave power duo, Sayyida and Zahra, have come up with something special for the next quarter - Living the Qur’an!
Your virtual Halaqah, every month, where we get together to reflect about selected verses of the Qur’an and how they come to play in our lives.
Imagine heartfelt reflections and conversations with the community that makes you see these verses you might have read countless times but never connected with.
A community to help you LIVE THE QUR’AAN.
What to expect from VC this month:
🌸 Virtual live call to introduce the theme of the month (Qadr, Divine Decree and cultivating Tawakkul)
🌸 Weekly check-in calls with the community to share reflections on living the Qur’aan
🌸 A self-paced workbook with reflection prompts
🌸 Month long community support and accountability
We have varied payment options for your convenience; you can pay every month or pay for the quarter at one go.
So, please, come with your heart - and of course, a warm cup of tea - and join us this weekend to live the Qur’an.

🌸A discount code is available on the WhatsApp group if you’re an alumnus.
As promised, you are also getting first dibs on next month’s upcoming programs so without further ado, let’s get into the recaps and announcements!
(heads up, you might want to bookmark this 🤭)
Maktabah Classics:
If I had to use a word to describe our book club this month, I would say insightful. But even that doesn’t truly capture the essence of it 🥹 you can read some of the reflections the sisters have shared so far here.
Next month’s read promises to be just as impactful, perhaps even more.
We will be rereading one of our favorite books - we read this in the early days of Maktabah and it is definitely one that has stayed with us so we just had to bring it back!
If you were with us back then, I’m sure you can see the need to reread it and if you weren’t, even better!
Can you guess which book it is?
Tell us in the comments and the first person to get it right within the next 24 hours wins a free slot!
Classics registration opens up this Friday!
Seerah Study Circle:
One of the sisters shared during our first session back about how much she had missed this study circle and honestly same! 🥹
Each lesson is absolutely packed with knowledge, things you might have learned before but more detailed and things you didn’t even know.
To call it enriching is an understatement!
We will be continuing next month from Episode 16 - The Hiatus of Revelation and I can’t wait!
You can register to join our next seerah study cycle starting May 11th using this link 🌸
🌸 If you are already a member of the study circle (registered this April), you don’t have to sign up again. Payments are recurring so you’ll automatically be charged by selar on the due date, please ensure that your card is credited to avoid getting spammed by selar.
What’s new on our IG:
We have been revamping our Instagram, our “Meet the Team” series ends tonight in shaa Allaah (and it has been a community favorite!)
Along with that our stories are always buzzing. Here’s what we have lined up for you every week:
🌸 Mondays: reflection prompts to start off the week
🌸 Tuesdays: Trivia (this week was Seerah and we had a blast!)
🌸 Saturdays: Catch-ups and community check-ins and we have something special every other day🌸
Follow us on instagram and be sure to turn on our post notifications so you don’t miss anything 🌸
That brings us to the end of our recap and announcements but don’t worry, you’ll hear from me very soon with another exciting new segment (this season that seems be the running theme🤭🤍).
Don’t forget to guess our next read in the comments and tell me which of our programs you’re most excited for this month 🌸
Until next time,
Fee Amanillaah,
Ammah 🌸

If I had to use a word to describe our book club this month, I would say LIFE-CHANGING🥹
I'm guessing the next read would be, Journey to Allah by Ibn Rajab. Didn't join the first time but this is my first guess😅
Journey to Allah is the book for next month.
