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.
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 new Muslims across Sheffield.
A small circle of sisters
Muslimaat began as an informal gathering in Sheffield — a handful of sisters coming together over tea to share their journeys to Islam. What started as friendship quickly grew into something much more powerful.
Our founder had taken her Shahada and found herself wishing she had someone to guide her through the early days. So she became that person for others.
Our first workshops and events
Word spread quickly. More sisters started reaching out — some brand new to Islam, others exploring the faith for the first time. We launched our first official prayer workshops and drop-in sessions across Sheffield.
- First prayer workshop held in Sheffield
- Weekly drop-in sessions launched
- One-to-one support programme started
- Growing community of supported sisters
Muslimaat becomes a registered organisation
After supporting hundreds of sisters over two decades, Muslimaat became an officially registered organisation — giving us the structure to reach more women, run more events and provide even better support across Sheffield and beyond.
- Officially registered organisation
- Dedicated team of volunteer sisters
- New resources library launched
- 50+ sisters supported annually
A thriving community of sisters
Today Muslimaat is a thriving community of sisters in Sheffield. Over 30 years on from our first gathering, we offer free one-to-one support, prayer workshops, drop-in sessions and online resources — all completely free, all rooted in sisterhood and love.
- 100+ sisters supported
- 50+ events held
