El Awliya'
a muslim sisters collective
El Awliya' is a faith-centered sisterhood for Muslim women.
We gather for halaqas, reflection, and real friendship
for the sake of Allah.
dua cards
A thoughtfully curated set of du’a cards to help Muslims stay connected to Allah in the mornings and evenings.
Each set contains 18 front and back cards, designed with simplicity and for every muslim on their faith journey.
who we are
El Awliya' began as a small circle of college-aged and young adult Muslim women who wanted a space that felt safe, loving, and rooted in faith.Today, we’re growing into a community focused on strengthening iman, building sincere sisterhood, and creating spaces where Muslim women feel seen, supported, and spiritually nourished.

who it's for
This space is for you if:- You’re a Muslim woman in the Northern VA & Richmond area- You want practicing friends without judgment- You’re trying to grow in your deen- You feel “in between” and want community
our vision
With Allah’s help, El Awliya' hopes to grow beyond a local group into a lasting nonprofit that offers retreats, workshops, and one day group trips and a community center
