We are looking for Muslim women in the UK who have demonstrated dedication to the Qurān and would be happy to share their Qurān journey and reflections in a new podcast. The set up of this would be a relaxed ‘fireside chat’ with our host a Doctor and Hafidha.

Please note whilst we are looking for sisters who have completed memorisation of the book of Allah as well as those who have advanced onto the qiraat, we would also LOVE to hear from sisters who come from unique backgrounds and those that have non-traditional routes to starting their journey with the Qurān.

​

This is a new initiative with the intention of shining a light on Muslimahs in the UK who have excelled in their Qurān as well as academia/career/motherhood/life outside this. The motivations behind launching such initiative have been to inspire Muslim women in the West, with the hopes of encouraging or starting their own Qurān journeys. Through this, our guests will have the opportunity to scale their dawaa to the book of Allah by being modern day examples for Muslimahs in the West. The ultimate aim is to help us all build and better a sincere relationship with the Book of Allah, bi idnih.

​

If you are interested in this opportunity to reap the rewards of cultivating a community that seeks to better itself and be from the ummah prided in Surah Al-Imrān as;

خَيْرَ أُمَّةٍ أُخْرِجَتْ لِلنَّاسِ تَأْمُرُونَ بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ وَتَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ ٱلْمُنكَرِ وَتُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ 
‘the best community ever raised for humanity—you encourage good, forbid evil, and believe in Allah.’

..then please reach out to us via email rettilee.alquraan@gmail.com with a brief bio.

"As a person who was always driven academically and fortunate to be sent to Qurān classes at the early age of 6, I always wanted to excel in both. As much as I cared for topping the class, I also wanted to be able to perfect my Qurān and complete it's memorisation. Being fortunate enough to be surrounded by other students and teachers of the book of Allah, I was amazed and excited by the beautiful recitations and qirās they held. I realised my first khatma (completion) of the Qurān was the very beginning of this journey of learning and falling in love with the word of Allah"
