About Sisters Of Barakah
Sisters of Barakah was set up in 2024 with the intention of holding retreats, workshops and other events for women. The 'why' was: 'To passionately engage with the community, providing safe spaces and connection, so that sisterhood can flourish.'
​
However, Allah had other plans for me alhamdullillah, and He is the best of planners!
​
So now, Sisters of Barakah is focused on online opportunities of sisterhood and connection.
About Feride Mc.Neilly
2024 - Trained with The Productive Muslim Company to be a Certified Productive Muslim Trainer with cohort from around the world. With inspiring teachers like Mohammed Faris, Dr Mohannad Hakeem Ph.D and Farah Jamil. We have permission to deliver the professional resources and access to the materials created by The Productive Muslim Company, alhamdullillah.
Fun fact - my intention for joining the Certification training was to make my own course more professional, but I personally benefited from the course and fell in love with the material, so now my focus is sharing the khayr from the Productive Muslim Programme so women can benefit.
2025 Health Tests
2025 - January - diagnosed with a tumour!
March - diagnosed with Follicular Lymphoma, a type of blood Cancer, Stage 4

Alhamdullillah, the health test came at the perfect time, straight after training in The Productive Muslim Course which is about how to live your best life spiritually, physically and socially. Alhamdullillah those tools I was learning to help and support others, it helped me to get through my biggest health tests!
