Alimat Conference 2026

Sunday, 27 September 2026 | Al-Siraat College | 10:00am – 1:00pm

The 2nd Annual Australian Alimāt Conference

Bringing together women of sacred knowledge across Australia

With the grace of Allah, with over 100 women across Australia's east coast now having graduated from recognised ʿālimah programs, there is an ever-growing community of women of sacred knowledge - many of whom have never had the opportunity to meet one another. Following our first Alimāt Conference in 2024, we are gathering once again to strengthen these connections, share our work and reflections, and foster a spirit of scholarship, camaraderie and collective responsibility in serving our communities.

2026 Alimāt Conference

A focused morning for women of sacred knowledge to reconnect, engage in scholarly discussion, reflect on community needs, and explore how we can strengthen our collective impact.

This complimentary gathering is offered in honour of the ʿilm you carry and the service you provide to Australian communities. Please read the conference protocol below carefully.

Attendance & Registration

Attendance is by registration only.

Registrations close on 04 September 2026.

We are unable to accommodate unregistered or additional attendees on the day.

If you register and later become unable to attend, please notify Rahmah Ilahee (0420547762) as soon as possible.

Eligibility

This event is exclusively for graduates of recognised ʿālimah programs.

Current students are not eligible for this event, as their only priority should be in completing their studies.

Only the registered ʿālimah may attend. Any other guest cannot be accommodated.

Registration requires the following details:

Full name
Year of graduation from a recognised ʿālimah program
Name of institute graduated from
City of institute

Timings

This is intentionally designed as a focused half-day program, 10:00am – 1:00pm.

While many scholarly conferences extend across full weekends, we have kept this to a single morning in consideration of family responsibilities.

If you are committing to attend, we kindly ask that you block this time fully for scholarship, presence, and reconnection with your ʿilm and peers.

The program will begin promptly at 10:00am.

Children

This event is not suitable for children. Attendees are encouraged to arrange their own childcare in advance. Children will not be permitted in the main conference hall.

Conduct

To maintain a dignified and beneficial environment:

Phones must be on silent.
Recording is not permitted without prior approval.
Scholarly discussion should remain respectful and constructive.

Closer to the date, a temporary WhatsApp group will be created for logistical updates and communication. The group will be used strictly for event coordination and will close after the conference.
