Join our 8-week guided study of The Lives of Man by Imam al-Haddad. How to achieve spiritual excellence & live every day with deeper meaning

A Unique Focus on Practice and Community:

Each weekly session is designed for both the mind and the heart:

  • We start with a group remembrance of God (Dhikr) to settle the spirit and achieve focus.

  • A brief community check-in allows us to share our intentions and support one another in the journey of refinement.

  • Teacher Imam Sharief Yusuf

What you will gain:

  • Inner Purification: Learn practices for refining your soul (Tazkiyah), helping you manage worry and distraction in this temporary world (Dunya).

  • Daily Excellence: Transform mundane tasks into acts of worship by perfecting your sincerity and focus.

  • A Clear Map: Understand the five essential stages of existence, from your soul’s original promise to your eternal destination.

If you’re ready to commit to deep personal change within a supportive community, this program is your guide.

This program is completely free to participate in. 

Books available for purchase at venue.
