Rather than formal teaching, we gather in a discussion-nurturing environment that welcomes questions and personal reflections informed by knowledge and lived experiences. We welcome diverse perspectives that are grounded in Quran and supported by authentic Hadith.
This is a judgment-free space, guided by respect and humility. Sisters are encouraged to personally learn, reflect, and grow while being respectful of one another’s circumstances and journeys. Get to know more about us!
We read about the background, themes, and explanations of each surah and ayat of Quran. We read from diverse tafsir literature including Ibn Kathir, Syed Abul A'la Maududi, Syed Qutb, Imam WD Mohammed, among others.
A reading and discussion-centered reflection of the Prophet's ﷺ life that connects major events with Quranic revelation. This fosters a more integrated understanding of his ﷺ mission and how to follow his ﷺ model in our affairs today.
We read about Muslim women who have played a significant role in shaping the world. We learn about their stories and how their impact has affected all areas of society. We seek examples from their lives to inspire us on ways of becoming better contributors to our families and communities.
Inspired by Al-Barr
Barrah Sisters is inspired by one of the Names of Allah, Al-Barr—the source of all goodness, the kind and gentle benefactor. Al-Barr is the One whose kindness is vast and constant; whose goodness reaches His creation through mercy, patience, justice, and care. Every act of goodness ultimately flows from Him.
The root baa-raa-raa carries meanings of gentleness, devotion, honesty, generosity, and attentiveness to circumstance. It reminds us that goodness is rooted in sincerity, compassion, and regard for others.
Barrah Sisters is shaped by this name. We gather to learn, reflect, and grow while turning our hearts toward the source of all goodness. We strive for sincerity, care, and gentleness in how we show up for ourselves and one another.
