Jannah Circle

The Origins of Our Circle

Our Circle started in 2018 in Chicago,Illinois when our Founder, Fariha Rub, experienced the loss of baby Jannah which led to her leaning on her community for support. She soon realized many American Muslims desire a sense of belonging, fellowship, and positive spaces to grow their spirituality, particularly young Muslim parents.

As they found themselves disconnected from their spirituality and community, experiencing declining mental & spiritual health, our Circle brought everyone together. What began as a scholar-led halaqa group while providing childcare and organizing social events became an inclusive and thriving community.

A Growing Community of Support and Education

Jannah Circle has expanded to 1,000 local and 8,000 global members, with charity initiatives and a new children's program, "Jannah Explorers".
