Noor
Soul Suhbah
Enrolling my daughter in Wasan's classes has been one of the best decisions I've made for her spiritual growth. The laid back vibe and interactive learning environment have provided her with a comfortable and supportive setting in which to learn her deen. The convenience of online classes has allowed us to integrate them seamlessly into our busy weekly schedule. I've see seen a significant improvement in my daughter's knowledge, which she shares with us regularly, along with a deeper appreciation for our faith. Most importantly, the program has helped her see the beauty in her deen, fostering a genuine love and connection to Islam. The supportive and engaging community created by Wasan has made learning enjoyable and impactful. I highly recommend this program to any parent looking to enrich their daughter's lives with comprehensive and meaningful Islamic teachings.

I enjoyed your sessions so much! I liked how Allah saved Musa (as) when he was in the river and made someone like Asiyah (as) look after him.
Marium
Soulful Sisterhood
I've been following Wasan for good many years now and what I love about her is that I always feel the beauty of Islam through her reflections. She would share the beauty in Allah's qadr (decree) sometimes even if it would be difficult for her in that moment. The strong trust she has in Allah is so contagious! SubhanAllah she's a leader without intending to lead. The way she has inspired me to be proactive has led me to start an in person halaqa for girls. I never knew I would have the courage for that in the first place. I know the lessons from the stories of Prophets and companions but Wasan helps us see the beauty in those lessons. I love that Wasan keeps the sessions interactive where she really encourages us to think and reflect. She connects ayahs of Quran, sunnah and lessons from various books to help us internalise a message. These sessions are truly a form of self care and nurturing for my soul. I leave every session hopeful, with a renewed intention of growing myself in every way and eagerly looking forward to the next one.
Hajara
Soulful Sisterhood
Personally, the main focus of joining the groups was to have a community of women who had the same priorities as me. A space to be exposed to different ideas, life experiences and to feel a little less alone in trying to come closer to the deen … The groups also reminded me to be on top of my dhikr (remembrance) more, just to name a few things I've picked up since starting the circles with you and the rest of the sisters.
Ayesha
Ramadan Revival
This course was super helpful. It was interactive, educational, and really showed me how to see things from a new angle. Aunty Wasan was kind and always open to hearing all that we had to say. She had a way of speaking where it captivated the listener, held their attention, and really got them thinking. The tips we were given, the things we learnt, the experiences and responses from the other participants; it’s absolutely impossible to say I didn’t enjoy it!
Mother
Soul Suhbah
My daughter came down after the lesson laughing saying she had so much fun. She's very fond of you mashAllah, I love that! She enjoyed Aayah's company. Honestly I would love for her to meet you and the girls in person inshaAllah. You are so good with the girls mashaAllah. She loves your classes so much.
Noora
Nurturing Motherhood
Wasan has always been an inspiration to me, so when she announced her new nurturing motherhood program I knew I wanted to register. I would highly recommend the program as it is just what you need as a mother and as a Muslim mother specifically. Having a safe place where there are other mothers who are going through the same or mothers who have experienced similar challenges and struggles is comforting and uplifting. We learn so much during just one session not only from Wasan but I think a lot also from each other. A well rounded program for sure.
Dr. Hanaa Ghannoum
@peacewithinhome
I have had the pleasure of working with Wasan on multiple occasions, and the energy and wisdom she brings to her teachings are truly heartfelt. Wasan was a guest for a Ramadan series I hosted for mothers, and the feedback was outstanding. Her calm demeanor and insightful integration of Islamic principles into our daily lives, especially in the context of motherhood, were invaluable. She helped us set realistic expectations and find hope through simplified practices that easily became part of our daily routines. Thank you, Wasan, for your wisdom. I eagerly look forward to working with you again.

Personally (as a new mum) - not having the pressure to talk (on the sessions) has been helpful for me as I was able to benefit from the spiritual boost, even with my current childcare situation.

Soul Suhbah
She really enjoys it and I find that it gives her a sense of belonging! ... in her school she is a minority and being surrounded by 3 brothers she feels left out as a girl/Muslim girl, so I genuinely feel she looks forward to it and helps her understand that being different to those around her isn't because she is 'wierd' but more like she's not in the right crowd...I'm happy she's found a 'safe' place for herself where she can relate to as a Muslim.

Wasan’s courses and sessions are nothing short of the best. Wasan emanates this indescribable sense of peace and tranquility in the way she conveys the deen. She’s realistic and wise in her approach to life matters. You’ll be leaving her class with a beautiful sense of spirituality that will revitalize your soul.
Sherouk
@imperfect.Muslimah
Wasan is such an inspiration for me in many aspects of life, and more specifically: tarbiyyah & parenthood. Wasan excels MashaAllah at incorporating Islam into all life activities. She simplifies concepts that may seem daunting at first and makes it easy to understand and IMPLEMENT for all age groups. It's of no doubt that her courses would be inspiring, motivating, and simply awesome inShaAllah!
Shazia
Nurturing Motherhood
I met Wasan, when I first moved to Doha, 7 years ago at her sessions. She opened her home to strangers and it was a home away from home. She was my saviour and introduced me to community and sisterhood. Her house was always warm and welcoming. I grew so much spiritually and I cannot thank her enough. She is a warm loving sister who resonates light.

Enrolling my daughter in Wasan's classes has been one of the best decisions I've made for her spiritual growth. The laid back vibe and interactive learning environment have provided her with a comfortable and supportive setting in which to learn her deen. The convenience of online classes has allowed us to integrate them seamlessly into our busy weekly schedule. I've see seen a significant improvement in my daughter's knowledge, which she shares with us regularly, along with a deeper appreciation for our faith. Most importantly, the program has helped her see the beauty in her deen, fostering a genuine love and connection to Islam. The supportive and engaging community created by Wasan has made learning enjoyable and impactful. I highly recommend this program to any parent looking to enrich their daughter's lives with comprehensive and meaningful Islamic teachings.

I enjoyed your sessions so much! I liked how Allah saved Musa (as) when he was in the river and made someone like Asiyah (as) look after him.

Soulful Sisterhood
I've been following Wasan for good many years now and what I love about her is that I always feel the beauty of Islam through her reflections. She would share the beauty in Allah's qadr (decree) sometimes even if it would be difficult for her in that moment. The strong trust she has in Allah is so contagious! SubhanAllah she's a leader without intending to lead. The way she has inspired me to be proactive has led me to start an in person halaqa for girls. I never knew I would have the courage for that in the first place. I know the lessons from the stories of Prophets and companions but Wasan helps us see the beauty in those lessons. I love that Wasan keeps the sessions interactive where she really encourages us to think and reflect. She connects ayahs of Quran, sunnah and lessons from various books to help us internalise a message. These sessions are truly a form of self care and nurturing for my soul. I leave every session hopeful, with a renewed intention of growing myself in every way and eagerly looking forward to the next one.
Hajara
Soulful Sisterhood
Personally, the main focus of joining the groups was to have a community of women who had the same priorities as me. A space to be exposed to different ideas, life experiences and to feel a little less alone in trying to come closer to the deen … The groups also reminded me to be on top of my dhikr (remembrance) more, just to name a few things I've picked up since starting the circles with you and the rest of the sisters.

Ramadan Revival
This course was super helpful. It was interactive, educational, and really showed me how to see things from a new angle. Aunty Wasan was kind and always open to hearing all that we had to say. She had a way of speaking where it captivated the listener, held their attention, and really got them thinking. The tips we were given, the things we learnt, the experiences and responses from the other participants; it’s absolutely impossible to say I didn’t enjoy it!

My daughter came down after the lesson laughing saying she had so much fun. She's very fond of you mashAllah, I love that! She enjoyed Aayah's company. Honestly I would love for her to meet you and the girls in person inshaAllah. You are so good with the girls mashaAllah. She loves your classes so much.
Noora
Nurturing Motherhood
Wasan has always been an inspiration to me, so when she announced her new nurturing motherhood program I knew I wanted to register. I would highly recommend the program as it is just what you need as a mother and as a Muslim mother specifically. Having a safe place where there are other mothers who are going through the same or mothers who have experienced similar challenges and struggles is comforting and uplifting. We learn so much during just one session not only from Wasan but I think a lot also from each other. A well rounded program for sure.

I have had the pleasure of working with Wasan on multiple occasions, and the energy and wisdom she brings to her teachings are truly heartfelt. Wasan was a guest for a Ramadan series I hosted for mothers, and the feedback was outstanding. Her calm demeanor and insightful integration of Islamic principles into our daily lives, especially in the context of motherhood, were invaluable. She helped us set realistic expectations and find hope through simplified practices that easily became part of our daily routines. Thank you, Wasan, for your wisdom. I eagerly look forward to working with you again.

Personally (as a new mum) - not having the pressure to talk (on the sessions) has been helpful for me as I was able to benefit from the spiritual boost, even with my current childcare situation.

She really enjoys it and I find that it gives her a sense of belonging! ... in her school she is a minority and being surrounded by 3 brothers she feels left out as a girl/Muslim girl, so I genuinely feel she looks forward to it and helps her understand that being different to those around her isn't because she is 'wierd' but more like she's not in the right crowd...I'm happy she's found a 'safe' place for herself where she can relate to as a Muslim.

Wasan’s courses and sessions are nothing short of the best. Wasan emanates this indescribable sense of peace and tranquility in the way she conveys the deen. She’s realistic and wise in her approach to life matters. You’ll be leaving her class with a beautiful sense of spirituality that will revitalize your soul.
Sherouk
@imperfect.Muslimah
Wasan is such an inspiration for me in many aspects of life, and more specifically: tarbiyyah & parenthood. Wasan excels MashaAllah at incorporating Islam into all life activities. She simplifies concepts that may seem daunting at first and makes it easy to understand and IMPLEMENT for all age groups. It's of no doubt that her courses would be inspiring, motivating, and simply awesome inShaAllah!
Shazia
Nurturing Motherhood
I met Wasan, when I first moved to Doha, 7 years ago at her sessions. She opened her home to strangers and it was a home away from home. She was my saviour and introduced me to community and sisterhood. Her house was always warm and welcoming. I grew so much spiritually and I cannot thank her enough. She is a warm loving sister who resonates light.
