Ulfah Arts - promoting spirituality and harmony

by Naz Koser
The concept of UlfahArts is for all women to learn more about each other through spiritual and harmonious events.


Ulfah Arts - discover the spiritual journey

Concept and aims:

Offering opportunities for all women to experience different events that they would not normally attend allowing integration between cultures.

Women only events - for women to enjoy a nice night out without the presence of alcohol or other elements which are against cultural beliefs.

Including; Leisure events, cinema nights, theatre and concerts, poetry, drama, literature and art.

Ulfah is the Arabic word for harmony and is one of the Islamic qualities which forms the basis of Ulfah’s work. The organisation focuses on what we all have in common and harmony includes everyone no matter what faith or culture.

Women only

Ulfah Arts has identified a need for female only events for all women to enjoy. Whether because they have strong cultural beliefs or simply wish to widen their social network. 

Ulfah achieves this by using existing provision as well as developing new opportunities for women to showcase their talents.

Harmony Events

These are regular events taking place such as exhibitions, nature walks, cinema, theatre, dining etc. We can arrange specific seating or other arrangements to make the events more accessible and comfortable for women.

Spiritual Events

These include special events of a spiritual nature i.e nasheeds (Islamic songs) gospel music, divine poetry, drama etc. with an Islamic twist for all women to enjoy.

 These events take into consideration specific cultural views such as:

  • No alcohol
  • Prayer times and facilities
  • No males in designated areas making it a women only event

Up and coming events

For more information regarding events coming up please contact Ulfah Arts on Tel no: 07861 385147 or email [email protected]

Educating women

The concept of Ulfah Arts is to educate women about each other cultures and faiths through artforms, stories and music. Integration that can then be taken back to their lives and into their families.

A half way house between developing their talent and keeping the faith, a compromise that is about moving forward on all fronts. 

Ulfah Arts is also currently exploring setting up a female drama group and a nasheed group as well as encouraging women to get involved and form the audience for these women to perform to.

If you would like to get involved in Ulfah Arts or would just like more information contact Ulfah Arts on, Tel no: 07861 385147 or email [email protected].
