This work is about more than presence. It’s about agency, influence, and collective capacity.   Grateful to every woman and partner who helped shape this year. We move forward with clarity and purpose.

In 2025, MWF created spaces for Muslim women to gather and lead, across business, philanthropy, tech, media,and community life.Through live conversations, retreats, panels, and partnerships,our focus has been on strengthening leadership infrastructure, visibility, and connection.

What a night at @MWA2021, a room full of Muslim women shaping change across business, STEM, media, education, sport, activism and more. Energising, affirming, necessary.

This work aligns deeply with @MWFounders: creating spaces where Muslim women can lead boldly, resource one another, and build structures that last beyond any one project or person.

We explored what happens when Muslim women sit at decision-making tables, how values guide funding, how legacy is built, and how philanthropy and enterprise can work together to strengthen our communities.

Recently, @SabahGilani chaired an @IslamicReliefUK roundtable on Muslim Women in Philanthropy, bringing together women shaping giving, community impact and stewardship across the UK.

We're teaming up with @HulmClub, Humayra Hanif for Female Founders Night, an evening celebrating women who build, lead & lift each other up Fireside Spotlight: @Arf_22 (@MuslamicMakers)
