Rabata halaqa

An online path of spiritual growth for Muslim women around the world, the Rabata halaqat program provides a free structured program for women seeking to grow in their faith.

Halaqa (plural: halaqat), derived from the Arabic word for a ring or circle, has long been a cherished tradition among Muslims. It represents a gathering where individuals unite to seek knowledge, find kinship, and deepen their connection with their faith. In the digital age, Rabata’s Halaqat program takes this timeless practice and brings it to women across the globe through our online platform.

Through our halaqat, attendees have the opportunity to form meaningful connections with their teachers and fellow participants, fostering a sense of sisterhood and support in their spiritual and personal journeys. Each halaqa follows a structured curriculum designed by esteemed women scholars, offering a comprehensive learning experience.

Testimonials
"Anse Emannuelle has created a true feeling of sisterhood and belonging among us by encouraging us to share what's going on in our lives and applying what we learn on any challenges. I'm glad to say that I feel close to a lot of the sisters and I learn from them as much as from the instructor. The time of the halaqa is a reminder of the importance of my spiritual life and how I can increase its quality. Some of the practical exercises I've continued to use after we learned, so the effects are continuous. The sister pairing system has also kept me accountable to my peer about my goals for next Ramadan inshallah."
"I have adored halaqa with Anse Leila. Each session topped my heart up with iman and helped me to recenter my life around our beautiful faith each week. Anse Leila has a beautiful way of connecting us to all of us on an individual level & I am so grateful to Allah for facilitating this Halaqa in my time. May Allah reward all of you for facilitating this blessing."

"I enjoy how we can openly ask question that applies to our personal lives to get spiritual feedback. A wiser person with a second set of eyes to show us different ways of looking at a subject through a special frames."
"Uplifting. Necessary. Grounding and elevating. Grateful for this community of sisterhood. Such an easy way to engage, alhamdulilah. I really appreciate the structured learning approach (with a clear developmental path) -- this is often too lacking in our Islamic Studies in local communities. "
"The Halaqas have been a beautiful and beneficial experience for me Alhamdulillah, a much needed weekly Imaan-boost with valuable reminders to keep me on track for the days ahead. I’m really looking forward to advancing inshaAllah and continuing to benefit from our blessed teachers and righteous companionship inshaAllah."
"This Halaqa helps me to improve my ibada and my relationship with Allah. I was encouraging by Anse Sonia and the group to read more, and take care more of my Heart against bad attachments, and me continue my way with more awareness to be balanced, and to know how protect my faith. May Allah bless you all 🙏🏼🩵"
"The Halaqāt system is a great means of needed inner reflection. I am able to internalize what I study as the halaqat strive to contemplate what Islam teaches. One who seeks to get closer to Allah and His Messenger can use the halaqat as a way to increase in their connection. The halaqat teacher do their best to address each member's needs and intentionally connect with each member greatly influencing the effects of the halaqāt."
"The halaqahs with Anse Asma have been absolutely wonderful MashaAllah, so enlightening and spiritually rejuvenating! Jazakum Allahu Khayran to all involved!"
"I found the Halaqa sessions packed with beneficial knowledge. Anse Hazel starts each session with her warm smile and always has important topics lined up for each session, which are supported by Quranic verses and authentic Hadith. She keeps the classes interactive and also helps us with our questions. Alhamdulillah for these sessions. May Allah reward Anse Tamara, Anse Amena and Anse Hazel and the Halaqa team for these sessions.❤️"
