Bridging the gap between scholars and students
Our retreats exist to bring students closer to scholars, learning directly from the Qur'an and the Sunnah. We choose one topic we feel needs attention, and give it the time it deserves.
In doing so, we better ourselves, our families and our communities, in a protected Islamic environment built on good manners toward our teachers and one another. Open to all.
Learn from scholars
Daily lessons after Fajr, and evenings in the company of living sheikhs.
Walk with the saints
Ziyarah to the maqaamat of those who carried the tradition before us.
Travel with adaab (respect)
A shared code of conduct for the sheikh's time and each other's company.
