There have been some requests for an explanation of what the retreat is, as well as the content and format.

In short it is an intensive one week formal program, starting on Monday 21st March and ending on Sunday 27th March, insha Allah, where delegates from all over the world (and locals of course) stay together for a week and discuss and deliberate on topics relevant to Muslims in the Modern Age. There are private, registration only programs from 10am until after Eshaa along with summarised public lecture programs at local masajid.

You will get to meet and interact with like minded people form all over the world as well as learned Ulema in various fields of knowledge. There are two registration options, day passes at R150 for the week OR stay over  for  R350 for the week with dormitory accomodation. 3 Meals per day are included in your registration fee. If you are unable to afford the registration fee, you may apply for sponsorship.

LOCAL REGISTRATION CLOSES ON THE 15th March. There is no registration required for the public program which will be announced here shortly insha Allah.

We will have focus days insha Allah where we will spend a day on, for example, Islam and money, Muslim Village, Islamic Spirituality etc. Most  programs will be conducted on the retreat camp site in Glencairn, Cape Town, South Africa. The proceedings will be recorded and selected videos will be released after the completion of the retreat.

There will also be an open forum session where delegates can make presentations and a Public Dialogue with a Christian priest on the topic “The Return of Jesus (a.s) and the Holy State of Israel”.

The second week is an informal program where we have more intimate learning time with the Ulema attending along with tours and informal programs, this week is entirely optional and runs from Mon 28th March to Fri 1st April. This program is for your own expense but we will try to keep it to around R1000 for the entire week, including shared accommodation and meals.

We asked that you make dua for the success of this event, inshaAllah
