O God as Thou hast made my form beautiful so make my character beautiful.

Salik Sisters is for Muslim women who hold tight to Ahl us Sunnah wa'al Jama'at, and who are seeking extra guidance through traveling the path (saluk) of tasawwuf ('ihsan,"sufism").

Salik Sisters travel this path through accepting the authority of the Qur'an of Allah subhannahu wa ta'ala, the Sunnah of our Beloved Messenger, aleyhi salatu wa salaam, and the ijma' and qiyas of the scholars who are "the Inheritors of the Prophets." It is not required for members to be in a tariqa. However, members should already understand and accept the concepts of guides (murshid), tariqa, and dhikr. Sisters who are new to Islam or who do not understand these concepts should join Sunni Sisters and visit our homepage for more information.

Insha'Allah, we will share poems, stories, insights, experiences, and other concerns related to our saluk (journey). For general topics and conversations, please visit our sister list, Sunni Sisters (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sunnisisters)

We expect all members to adhere to the highest form of Islamic adab when sending posts to this list, not only as a courtesy to the other human beings who subscribe to it, but as a training for the nafs. Questions of fiqh or 'aqida that arise on this group are referred to the scholars and students of knowledge only. Files outlining our rules and adab expectations will be sent to you upon pending subscription.
