Seeds of Wisdom Retreat: Exploring Surahs Ad-Duha, As-Sharh, At-Teen, Al-Alaq, Al-Qadr, & Al-Bayyinah

Join us for a transformative weekend retreat where we dive deep into Surahs Ad-Duha, As-Sharh, At-Teen, Al-Alaq, Al-Qadr, & Al-Bayyinah, uncovering the Quran’s timeless guidance on truth, accountability, and justice.

This SOW aims to address one of the key questions people are constantly seeking to answer: Who am I? As we embark on a journey of understanding ourselves, we might define ourselves by our own beliefs or others’ perceptions. This retreat aims to have us take a step back from everyone else’s thoughts about the human being to present what our Creator says about us. 

Explore select surahs from the 30th part of the Holy Quran as we uncover insights on identity, community-building, and the transformative power of the Quran in addressing societal challenges.

Led by Dr. Nadia Katrangi, Good Tree Chairman and head instructor, this retreat combines interactive group discussions, linguistic and historical context, and scholarly insight. Each session emphasizes the Quran’s relevance for today, helping participants apply its wisdom in their daily lives.
