Title: Your Compass - The Prayer Retreat

During this unique out-of-town weekend retreat, we invite you to evaluate your relationship with one of the five pillars of Islam, Salah/Prayer. As humans, we can all relate to the feeling that our Salah can become a mundane part of our daily routine, a mindless action from time to time. This retreat serves as your opportunity to reflect deeply on the words of Salah from the first Allahu Akbar to the last Salam to strengthen your connection with Allah (swt) and allow your prayer to be the ultimate compass for navigating life.

The last three surahs of the Quran otherwise referred to as "The Seal" are integral to this weekend’s discussion. In addition, there will be time set apart for Thikr and meditation, camp fire w/ s'mores, and a choice of additional activities.

This retreat is part of a transformative 9-part series designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the 30th Juz’ (section) of the Holy Quran, empowering participants to connect with the timeless teachings of the Quran in a personal and impactful way.

Join us for a weekend of reflection, growth, and connection as we journey together to answer life’s most important questions.

Backed by 20+ years of teaching experience, Dr. Nadia Katrangi, Good Tree Chairman and head instructor, leads the group in an engaging, interactive style group discussion. Referencing the Quran from a linguistic, scholarly, and historical perspective, each retreat has an overarching objective to highlight the relevance of the Quran in the context of current times.
