About Us

Who thought Ramadan 2020 would be so different, so unexpected, and yet so enriching at the same time?  “Lockdown to unlock our hearts” – that surely came through loud and clear.

As women we are ultimate jugglers, movers, and shakers. We naturally wear many hats and we strive towards excellence in every one of those roles despite constantly falling and faltering. Failure, however, is not part of our vocabulary. We just need to get up and go at it again. 

Throw a global pandemic into the mix and we bite down, persevere with resilience, and take on this latest battle. 

Inspired by an aspiring Muslimah, to-ing and fro-ing between living her current life and pursuing her ultimate dreams of servicing humanity through her gifts bestowed upon her by the Almighty, a seed was planted, and an intention bloomed.

As a group of professional Muslim females we identified a gap and a great need to craft a holistic approach based on prophetic solutions to the everyday challenges that this ever evolving world presents to a Muslimah in her workspace. Her constant internal dialogue:

  • “Am I living my true purpose?”
  • “Is it just about the salary, surely there must be more?”
  • “How do I balance work, life and kids etc?”
  • “Can there be more, and can I strive for excellence in it?”
  • And so, the Light Upon Light Academy for Personal Mastery was born…

    7 uniquely crafted master classes guided by a handful of experts, intending to shape the hearts, the minds and the souls of Muslim Female Professionals through the journey of Personal Mastery (Ihsan), Purely for the pleasure of Allah SWT, aameen.
