Making Islamic and Qur’anic knowledge accessible to every woman, building a sisterhood rooted in faith.
Our vision is to nurture a generation of confident, spiritually grounded Muslim women and girls, equipped with both authentic Islamic knowledge and valuable worldly skills. Rooted in the Qur’an and the Sunnah, we envision a safe, inclusive online platform where every Muslim daughter can thrive learning the deen of Islam, building strong moral values, and unlocking her potential.
We aim to inspire lifelong learning, good character, and a deep connection to Allah ﷻ and the Sunnah of our Prophet ﷺ. At BMC, we grow together in knowledge, faith, and purpose, and contribute towards the Ummah.
Bintul Muslim Council (BMC) was founded in January 2021 under the leadership of Dr. Asma Zehra Sahiba, a practising doctor from Hyderabad, Founder of the Muslim Girls Association, and Head of All India Muslim Women Association. Guided by her dedication to healthcare, education, and women’s empowerment, BMC began as a faith-driven platform rooted in the Qur’an and Sunnah, uniting Muslim women leaders across India.
What started as a single online workshop for women and girls has transformed into a global movement. Thousands of Muslim women, from cities to rural areas, now have access to authentic Islamic education through daily live sessions, Qur’an classes, and personal development programs that nurture character, discipline, and spiritual growth.
BMC continues to shape a new generation of confident Muslim women who began as students and are now educators and mentors. These sisters lead classes for teens and children, spreading knowledge and compassion within their communities. With over 400 programs in less than five years, BMC remains dedicated to empowering women through Islamic learning and leadership training.
