The Morning Brightness: A one-day Retreat

Join us for a one-day retreat, led by Ustadha Ayesha. You'll reflect, disconnect from the world, connect to Allah & His beautiful book. A gentle day of reflection, presence and reconnection with the Book that knows your heart. Since the success of our residential retreats in April, we've had numerous messages asking for more one-day options and we hear you. We know it isn't easy to leave your home and commitments overnight which is why we've curated a beautiful one-day retreat experience for you! In the busyness of life, our relationship with the Quran can sometimes feel distant or robotic. This one‑day retreat is an invitation to slow down and meet the Quran differently, as you'd meet a friend. Focused on Surah Ad-Duha, The Morning Brightness, this retreat is designed for Muslim women who are seeking a more meaningful connection with Allah’s words. Whether you are new to Quranic reflection or longing to deepen an existing relationship, this day offers space to learn, reflect and reconnect. The timing of this retreat is very intentional. We are delving into the surah during winter when the clocks will have changed. We know that for many members of our community, the winter brings heavy emotions with it and this retreat is a chance for you to spend time in community, uplifted by the words of Allah. We've designed the day to offer a blend of learning, sharing and personal reflection, guided by Ustadha Ayesha in a warm and welcoming environment. Expect moments of silence, heartfelt conversation, guided tafsir and intentional journalling. What can you expect: • A deep dive into Surah Ad-Duha with Ustadha Ayesha, including a line by line tafsir • A talk on why engaging with the Quran is important • The chance to discuss and reflect on themes that come out of the chapter • A Quran journalling workshop to help you consolidate and engage with what you have learnt • A chance to share your reflections in a safe and nourishing space • A nourishing lunch and wholesome snacks
