About Fatima
Assalamu alaikum dear sisters
Soul O Sisters was born from a lifetime of experiences that have shaped me, softened me, strengthened me, and drawn me closer to Allah in ways I never imagined.
This retreat comes from a lifetime of learning, healing, and trusting Allah through every season.
A Little About Me
The epiphany moment
Finding Myself Again
Just me, Allah, the stillness,
and the space to breathe.
When my children grew up, got married, and started their own lives, I found myself alone for the first time in decades. Instead of loneliness, Allah placed something else in my heart, sukoon.
A calmness.
A stillness.
A closeness to Him that I had longed for.
For the first time, I could prioritise my wellbeing.
I started taking care of my health, gym four times a week, cycling with Cycle Sisters, running, eating well.
At 60, I feel stronger than I did in my 40s, Alhamdulillah.
And then…
And then… I booked my first solo retreat at Zulal.
Just me, Allah, the stillness, and the space to breathe.
That retreat was life-changing.
I healed.
I reconnected with Allah.
I reflected on my journey, every test, every blessing, every moment Allah carried me through.
I felt myself again.
When I combined Umrah with the wellness retreat on my next trip, it was the perfect blend of spiritual depth and physical renewal.
And in that moment, I knew:
I want women to experience this.
To feel held.
To feel connected.
To feel restored, spiritually, mentally, and physically.
That was the moment Soul O Sisters was born.
Why I Created This Retreat
to reconnect, restore, and realign.
This journey was created to give women what our hearts quietly long for,
a moment to breathe, to reflect, and to return to Allah with sincerity.
A space where worship, wellbeing, and stillness come together.
A space to step away from daily responsibilities and immerse yourself in ibadah,
from the sacred rites of Umrah to the quiet moments of rest and renewal.
A space to prepare for Ramadan with clarity, calm, and intention.
A space to remember yourself again, not through escape,
but through remembrance, reflection, and returning to Allah.
I created this retreat for:
the woman who gives endlessly
the woman who puts herself last
the woman who quietly yearns for closeness to Allah
the woman who needs rest without guilt
the woman who wants worship and wellbeing woven together
the woman who wants to feel seen, supported, and understood
What I Believe
A life rooted in faith, wellbeing, and quiet strength.
Everything I have lived has taught me:
gratitude changes every hardship
patience is a shield
humility is a blessing
health is an amanah
resilience grows from trusting Allah’s plan
Allah never burdens a soul beyond what it can bear
I want for every sister what I want for myself:
A life rooted in faith, wellbeing, and quiet strength.
Stepping Into My Purpose
This is my way of giving back for all
Allah has blessed me with.
I have travelled to nearly 50 countries.
But the places that call me back again and again are Makkah, Madinah, and Zulal.
This retreat is a way for me to return to those sacred places with you, not as a tour guide, but as a sister who has walked this path, who understands life’s weight, and who wants you to feel the beauty, calm, and closeness to Allah that transformed me.
Every retreat includes an opportunity for a revert sister who may not afford Umrah. This is my way of giving back for all Allah has blessed me with.
“Verily with every hardship comes ease”
Quran (94:5-6) Fa ina ma a Usri Yusra
“Allah swt does not burden any soul with more than it can bear” (Quran 2:286)
Your Invitation
I invite you, with sincerity, to join me.
Travel with me to Makkah, Madinah, and Zulal.
Heal, reflect, and reconnect with Allah in a space created with intention
and compassion.
Return home renewed, spiritually, emotionally, and physically.
