Inside our sisters-only batches

Ustadha Maryam Qureshi · June 27, 2026 · 3 min read

"Will there be men in the class?" is one of the first questions we get from students considering a sisters' batch. The answer is no — every sisters' cohort has a female mentor, a separate class link from the general batch, and cameras that stay optional the whole way through.

That last point matters more than people expect. Some students turn their cameras on every week. Others never do. Both groups finish the course, get corrected the same way, and earn the same certificate.

What a typical session looks like

Recitation, questions, and correction — the same structure as any other Loh o Qalam class. The only difference is who's in the room, and that the room is built specifically for sisters from the start rather than adapted after the fact.

Where sisters' batches are open

Most Islamic studies courses have a sisters' batch available on request, even where it isn't shown as a separate scheduled slot yet. Ask your advisor which courses have one open this month.
