A lifelong contemplative practice — written down.
Fatimah Linda Howard is the author of the first two books in The Path of Divine Alignment Series — works at the intersection of faith, identity, and the inner life. A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School, she has spent more than three decades in leadership across law, corporate, and DEI — work she still carries through her consultancy Alturnative. Alongside that career she has carried a lifelong contemplative practice in du'a, dhikr, and the study of Qur'an and Sunnah.
Her debut, Crescent Over Crossroads: An African American Muslim Professional Woman's Quest for Identity (Alturnative, 2024), is a memoir of race, religion, and gender — the story of carrying an Islamic identity through Corporate America and the legal field.
Her second book, From Vision to Divine Provision: The Islamic Art of Sacred Manifestation (Alturnative, 2025), is the synthesis of her three decades of practice — a seven-step Islamic framework for sacred manifestation that rose to Amazon #1 in three Islamic categories on launch.
Fatimah is the founder of Sabil Experiences, a curated travel and retreat brand for Muslim women — elevated, faith-rooted journeys designed for alignment, clarity, and divine provision. The inaugural cohort — nine days, four cities, eight women — debuts in Morocco in September 2026 and walks From Vision to Divine Provision in real time, in the cities where it was written. It is for the Muslim woman who has quietly asked, is there a version of this for us?
She leads Sisters' Steadfast Saturdays, a monthly gathering for Muslim women, and speaks regularly to professional, faith, and wellness audiences. Her books and teaching are for Muslims — men and women — building lives where faith, work, and purpose meet.
"
For the Muslim reader waiting for a version of these teachings in their own language —
without compromise, and without the asking.
Three decades of integrity work.
Known in compliance and corporate circles as Linda Howard, Fatimah has spent over thirty-five years in law, ethics, and organizational integrity. She has served as Interim Chief Compliance Officer for The Assistance Fund and the University of Illinois Hospital System, Associate VP of Business Ethics at Amerigroup Corporation, and Interim CEO and President of the National Wellness Institute Board.
She currently serves as Board Chair of The Assistance Fund and is a member of HR.com's DEI Advisory Board. Her consultancy, Alturnative, serves the healthcare industry on compliance, ethics, and inclusion.
That work — building cultures of ethics, integrity, and accountability inside complex organizations — is what she now teaches Muslim readers and seekers how to do inside their own lives.
