Description

In collaboration with Al-Maqasid, join us for a 3-Day Weekend Retreat from February 24th-26th in the Bay Area with Yahya Rhodus & Yusuf Weltch. Covering Book 6, on fasting, of Imam al-Ghazali’s Ihya’ ‘Ulum al-Din (Revival of the Religious Sciences). Allah the Exalted says, O believers! Fasting is prescribed for you—as it was for those before you—so perhaps you will become mindful ˹of Allah˺. (Quran 2:182) And the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said in a Hadith Qudsi that Allah the Exalted said, “Every good deed is rewarded a multiple of ten to seven-hundred times, except for fasting, for it is Mine, and I grant its reward.” (Bukhari and Muslim) He also said ﷺ, “Paradise has a gate called ‘Rayyān.’ None enter it except those who fast.” (Bukhari and Muslim) In this book of Imam al-Ghazali’s Ihya', he informs us of the obligations of Fasting, the inner dimension and degrees of the fast, and the merit of fasting the recommended days outside of Ramadan. We hope you can join us! Please register as space is limited. Childcare will not be provided.  TENTATIVE SCHEDULE DAY 1 - Friday, February 24th 7:30 PM PT Retreat Begins DAY 2 - Saturday, February 25th 5:00 AM PT Fajr & Wird Session (Optional) 8:00 AM PT Breakfast (included) Lunch/Dinner (included) 8:30 PM PT End DAY 3 - Sunday, February 26th 5:00 AM PT Fajr & Wird Session (Optional) Breakfast (included) 5:30 PM PT Mawlid FULL SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE We are grateful to be able to offer Full Financial Zakat Scholarships to cover the cost of tickets for the retreat, available to those who are eligible; please email [email protected] to request a zakat scholarship.
