Weekend Retreat | February 9-11



We are excited to announce our upcoming Weekend Retreat, which will be held on February 9-11 titled “On Spiritual Retreat”, a study of Book 16 of Imam al-Ghazali’s masterpiece Ihya’ ‘Ulum al-Din (Revival of the Religious Sciences).

Among scholars and spiritual masters, opinions differ greatly over which is better: spiritual retreat or keeping the company of others.

In Imam al-Ghazali’s book On Spiritual Retreat, he discusses the arguments for keeping company and those for solitude, the benefits of spiritual retreat, the benefits of keeping company, and other factors that shed light on this debate and should be considered when deciding what to do.

We welcome you to join us in exploring this issue that impacts every Muslim’s practice in what we pray will be a weekend filled with abundant blessings as we acquire knowledge and spend time in devotion together.
