About
Sakina Literary Society of the Arts is not another book club, it's a continuation of a heritage that stretches back to ancient Arabia with the great poet al-Khansāʾ and was inspired by Lady Sukaynah Bint Al-Husayn (may God be pleased with her), who established the first literary salon in her home.
This Society is a space for Muslims to come together and explore literature, discuss current events, develop their artistic abilities, and inspire each other to seek knowledge, beauty, and refinement.
