Have you ever faced hardship and found Divine comfort through nature?

Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) faced a myriad of tests throughout his life, and sought refuge with Allah, often making dua while outdoors. How might we learn from his legacy, and when faced with trials, seek Allah's guidance while being outdoors...even when it's raining?!

WHAT TO EXPECT

• We'll learn about Prophetic stories

• Opportunities to share our own narratives
