About

Inspired by the first literary salon established by Sukaynah Bint Al-Husayn (may God be pleased with her) and by the later salons of the Ottoman Empire, Sakina Literary Society of the Arts aims to revive and reconnect Muslim women to the Islamic tradition of artistic and literary gatherings and provide avenues of expression and social fellowship. Through this Society, we hope to contribute to the personal, spiritual, and creative growth of our members and attendees.

Fellowship Feature - I want to be...

❝ I want to be that tree growing through stone
Ebb the ways of brain patterns that leave me feeling alone
I want to be the sea turtle that made it off shore
I need to make those wizard changes to make the me more
I want to start on that path where I have not been
To consider new ways opportunities to help left unseen
I want to feel strong hopeful worthy and clear
So I can be more than just a person who was here ​❞
