One of her main areas of focus is to help create a strong sisterhood for the women in the community by leading halaqas (spiritual study circles) and support groups whilst offering individual spiritual counseling and mentoring. She noted that many of the spiritual problems encountered were reflective of the deep and complicated mental health issues of the community and would be better served by focusing on mental health.

I noticed many sisters cannot participate in gyms or sports due to privacy concerns or lack of time. This inspired me to become a professional Zumba instructor to offer something new and beneficial. Alhamdulilah\, through our Muslim community\, I was able to provide this class in a private and comfortable environment that meets our needs. \nPlease join me\, and let’s move\, laugh\, and grow stronger together\, Insha’Allah! \nQuestions? events@mcceastbay.org URL:https://mcceastbay.org/event/april-weekly-zumba-classes-for-women-girls-reham-sedky-2/2026-05-27/ LOCATION:MCC East Bay\, 5724 W Las Positas Blvd #300\, Pleasanton\, CA\, 94588\, United States CATEGORIES:Women's Activities ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://mcceastbay.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/updated-Linda-Sarsour-3.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Muslim Community Center - East Bay":MAILTO:events@mcceastbay.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260530T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260530T140000 DTSTAMP:20260503T094538 CREATED:20260324T191835Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260324T191835Z UID:10024926-1780142400-1780149600@mcceastbay.org SUMMARY:Monthly Sisters' Mawlid DESCRIPTION:For Sisters: Join us monthly for sisters’ Mawlid for a gathering of remembrance and Dhikr.  \nConnect more with Prophet Muhammad ﷺ as we gather on the fourth Saturday of each month in remembrance and dhikr. \nSaturday\, May 30 | 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. | MCC Conference Room | In-person only | Free; no RSVP required\n \nSisters and children welcome.

This recognition enlightens us and deepens our knowledge of his teachings.
