Soul Reflections

I’m truly gutted, I think this course has already ran in London. If it’s repeated in London or in Birmingham, inshaAllah I’d love to attend. If you can make it to Manchester on these dates, go for it!

A Spiritual Solution

PROBLEM: “Life is too hectic; between work and social functions there is very little time for anything else and any free time is used to recover from exhaustion!”

PROBLEM: “There’s too much to do! I have exams, my career and not forgetting my family to think about. How will I afford to buy a house? Get a good car? Send! my children to a good school? There are endless problems to solve …”

PROBLEM: “When I am older I will have plenty of time to pray and remember Allah, for now I must concentrate on achieving my set goals and ambitions to secure my future!”

PROBLEM: “I pray five times a day and that’s all I can do. There are just not enough hours in the day for anything else.”

Does this sound familiar? Can you relate to the above? Many of us have set numerous goals that we want to achieve in this life. We have become accustomed to a lifestyle of working solely for worldly achievements. We have the desire to achieve the most, to be the best, but it seems to be at the cost of selling our soul to this world.

THE REAL PROBLEM: We have given too much attention to this life and have forgotten its true purpose and goals. We spend too much time on superficial achievements and have lost touch with the reality of this life! Rarely do we consider the ramifications of our actions in the Hereafter, nor do we look at ourselves and analyse our weaknesses and faults – we do not aspire to become better and stronger Muslims!

SOLUTION: Soul Reflections – A weekend AlKauthar course by Ustadh Surkheel Sharif. Be prepared for a spiritual HIGH! You will leave this course with a boost in imaan and equipped with knowledge to purify your soul, a desire to strive for the Hereafter, and realise and understand your purpose in this life.

In this weekend intensive course you will learn about:

• Spiritual Stations: Stations of the Wayfarer – Awakening, Repentance, Determination
• Preparing for the Journey to the Hereafter: The foundation of all beneficial states
• Being impoverished and witnessing Allah’s Perfect Affluence
• Defects in understanding destiny – tragedies, people, the world, and religion
• Ranks of prayer and worship: perfecting the prayer inwardly.
• Patience, Contentment and Gratitude
• Dua, Remembrance and Salah upon the Prophet: aiming for a rewarding destiny
• The Seerah and Spiritual Jihad of the Soul
• Approach to Allah’s book: Where learning begins and doesn’t end!
• Principles and nourishment from Allah’s Names in Al-Fatihah
• The two Migrations
• What next?

A real and practical SOUL-UTION to the lack of spirituality in our daily lives!
