About Katiba Collective
Cultivating Thinking Muslim Women
A thinking space for Muslim women, grounded in tradition and open to deep reflection. Katiba Collective is a learning platform where sacred knowledge meets modern life.
We deliver courses, events, and creative resources for Muslim women seeking depth, clarity, and practical guidance in every stage of their lives rooted in Islamic tradition.
All our offerings are facilitated by female scholars trained in the classical Islamic sciences, creating spaces that are intellectually serious, spiritually nourishing, and emotionally safe.
Why “Katiba”?
In Arabic, kātiba means “female scribe.” The name reflects our commitment to meaningful transmission of Sacred knowledge; faithful to the past, engaged with the present.
Our core streams:
Katiba Academy: Structured online learning through in-depth courses and programs
Katiba Live: Public conferences, masterclasses, and events
Katiba Tools: Educational resources, curricula, and creative learning aids
Together, they form a collective effort to rewrite what it means to learn and teach as Muslim women today.
