"This program is intentionally developed for woman, by woman. The teachers show a level of patience, understanding, empathy and knowledge that bridged the gap between womanhood (as I experienced in culture) and faith. The structure and contents of the program reflect this thoughtful approach as well. Being a student of Katiba Collective has been empowering and I highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of themselves, strengthen their connection with their faith, and move through life with greater clarity, confidence, and unwavering trust in Allah."

Frequently Asked Questions
Isn’t the Miftah Program the main program? How is this different?
Miftah is Katiba Collective’s flagship program offered annually. Feminine Bearings is a seasonal course for those unable to commit to Miftah at the start of the year, or who are in a different season of capacity. It is a distinct 12-week hadith study with fresh content, and can be taken independently or alongside other programs.
What if I’ve already studied Islam before?
This will likely deepen your engagement rather than make it repetitive. Feminine Bearings is a thematic hadith study focused on the formation of the Muslim woman, not a general overview of Islamic sciences.
What if I am already an ‘ālimah or have studied in depth?
It remains beneficial as a focused thematic study and an opportunity for consistent company with serious students and teachers. It also engages contemporary realities alongside the classical tradition in a grounded way.
What if I can’t attend live sessions?
Live attendance is encouraged, but recordings are available for the duration of the course, so you can keep up if you miss a session.
I don’t have capacity right now.
The course is designed as a structured weekly space that can bring clarity and grounding rather than add burden. If this is not your season, there is no pressure, but many find that a small anchored commitment actually supports their wider responsibilities.

What would it feel like to move through life with greater certainty about who you are as a Muslim woman?
Not because culture finally agrees with you.
Not because social media has validated you.
But because your understanding of womanhood has become anchored in something more permanent.
