Lead a meaningful life with The Fajr Sisters
Our History
The Fajr Sisters was founded in 2017 by Fatima Altalib and her university friends who identified the need for more uplifting, enjoyable and holistic gatherings for women. We have been running healthy breakfasts, picnics, self-development workshops and events for women for the past 7 years and are so grateful to everyone who has become a part of our journey. From Malaysia to Malawi, America to Australia, China to Comoros, Germany to Ghana, Bosnia to Bangladesh, Kashmir to Kuwait, Singapore to South Africa- there are Fajr Sisters all around the world who wake up in the early hours with the mission to lead a meaningful life. From a seventeen year old girl and her friends wanting to discover their places in the world to a global community united in helping one another to be the best versions of themselves, by the will of Allah, The Fajr Sisters continues to grow and impact lives.

“I know I have a family here. I can literally say that. Like if I want to go to South Africa, I know I have somebody, if I want to go to America I know I have somebody there. So basically, being a Fajr Sister means I know I have sisters and I do have a family.”
