ASI will be introducing its Student Retreat for students on our Islamic Scholarship Programmes!
Suhba is a huge blessing and a key component in the self-development of any student of knowledge. Being around beneficial company, one’s teachers and fellow students can provide us with a chance to learn, work on our adab and akhlaaq, as well as serve others. These are all essential aspects of a believer’s life. With more and more of our lives (and learning) going online this year, we feel the loss of connection with one another more than ever. As such, we would like to invite our students to attend our upcoming Student Retreat in Leicestershire.
The aim is simple; to spend time together with pure intentions. We can learn so much from one another when our hearts are in the right place. Taking some intentional time out in nature and away from our busy lives and routines can provide us with the chance to heighten our self-awareness and develop small practices to implement upon our return. Your teachers, including Shaykh Akram, will also be present and looking forward to meeting their students inshaAllah.
We have designed this retreat to be both as affordable as possible and one that focuses more on companionship and experience rather than luxury accommodation or solely textual learning. Students will be able to stay in on-campus dorms (single occupancy – limited no. of rooms available) or off-campus (nearby hotels are recommended especially for group/family stays). All meals are included for all students. Off-campus students will be required to arrange their own daily transportation to and from the venue.
