About Muslimaat
Empowering Muslim women, girls and new Muslims in Sheffield through knowledge, faith and connection — since 1996. A home for every sister to learn, grow and belong.
The difference we've made together
Our mission, vision & core values
Muslimaat exists to empower Muslim women, girls and new Muslims through knowledge, faith and connection — so that every sister in Sheffield has a place to learn, grow and truly belong.
Empowering Muslim women & girls through faith and community
Muslimaat was founded to ensure every Muslim woman and girl in Sheffield has somewhere warm, safe and supportive to turn. We provide inspiring programmes, 1:1 drop-in sessions, Qur'an Tafseer, Tajweed classes, new Muslim mentorship and community events — because every sister deserves to feel at home in her faith and her community.
"Hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together, and do not become divided."
Surah Al-Imran 3:103
The values that guide us
Everything we do flows from these six principles rooted in Islam and sisterhood
Sisterhood
We believe in the unbreakable bond between Muslim sisters — building friendships that last for the sake of Allah.
Compassion
Every sister is welcomed with empathy and patience, exactly where she is in her life — no judgement, ever.
Knowledge
We share authentic Islamic knowledge through Tafseer, Tajweed and learning circles — helping sisters grow with confidence.
Inclusivity
Muslimaat is for every Muslim woman, girl and new Muslim — regardless of background, culture or stage of faith. You are always welcome here.
Empowerment
We uplift sisters to stand confidently in their identity as Muslim women, proud of their faith and their choices.
Sincerity
All our work is done purely for the pleasure of Allah — with honesty, integrity and a genuine love for our sisters.
Our three pillars of support
Muslimaat empowers all women and girls, with dedicated support for new Muslims at the start of their journey. We provide Shahadah certification, starter packs, personalised mentorship, wellbeing support, and continuous guidance to help build confidence, strengthen faith, and establish a strong Islamic identity.
We proudly welcome families, ensuring everyone feels included, supported, and connected within a safe and nurturing community.
Muslimaat is a UK-registered charity focused on community support, education, and outreach that strengthens cohesion through humanitarian and collaborative work.
We provide programmes for women and girls that build faith, confidence, and personal growth, including Qur’an Tafseer, Tajweed classes, study circles, workshops, wellbeing sessions, hijab confidence support, and Eid and Ramadan gatherings.
While our focus is women and girls, we also include men in selected initiatives to encourage wider engagement and unity.
Together, we nurture knowledge, connection, and belonging.
Our drop-in space is open to Muslim women and girls, new Muslims and their families, and anyone interested in learning about Islam. We provide one-to-one guidance, support, and a welcoming space for questions and connection.
A safe place to learn, grow, and belong.
Welcome to the
Muslimaat Centre
Our centre at Don Valley House is a dedicated, welcoming space for Muslim women and girls in Sheffield. Equipped with a library, meeting rooms, a learning space and a comfortable lounge — everything our community needs under one roof.
How Muslimaat began
From a small circle of sisters sharing tea and questions in 1996, to a thriving community supporting Muslim women and girls across Sheffield.
Muslimaat is founded and registered
In 1996, Muslimaat Association was formally founded and registered as an organisation in Sheffield. Born from a heartfelt desire to support Muslim women and girls, our founders established a safe, welcoming space rooted in faith and sisterhood.
From day one, the mission was clear — to ensure every Muslim woman in Sheffield had somewhere to turn for guidance, community and belonging.
