In today’s age, it can be hard to stay grounded spiritually.
This retreat offers young Muslims an opportunity to disconnect from distractions of this world and reconnect with Allah, the Qur’an, and good people. Attendees will step away from everyday life and immerse themselves in nature, following in the footsteps of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ by reflecting on their connection with Allah through the Quran. By doing so, they will deepen their understanding and build a greater love and appreciation for the Quran as a source of guidance and wisdom.
Through this retreat, attendees will not only deepen their understanding of the Quran, but also build a greater love and appreciation for it as a source of guidance and wisdom in their daily lives.
Our retreat provides a powerful experience for attendees, providing a unique opportunity to get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life and immerse themselves in a Muslim environment filed with fun activities and beneficial workshops, all in the beautiful Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee.
Attendees can connect with fellow Muslims from all over the region, building lifelong friendships with people who share their faith and values. This is especially valuable for those who come from areas where there aren’t many Muslims.
Our retreat features a number of scholars who will stay with the group for the entire weekend, providing attendees with the chance to engage with people of knowledge, learning not just from their talks, but from their character and adab.
Our retreat strikes a perfect balance between learning and experience. Attendees have the opportunity to formally learn from scholars, but also participate in activities with their peers that will build skills, memories and beautiful relationships.
The retreat emphasizes the importance of adab (respectful behavior) towards teachers, reciters and each other. It is vital for young Muslims to know how to hold themselves in different environments and in different company. This creates a culture of respect and humility that is beneficial for all attendees.
Attendees can focus on their faith without being overwhelmed by it, as the company of others keeps them accountable and invested. They can learn, pray, and have fun in an environment that aligns with their core values and beliefs.
Coming together for prayer is an essential component of our faith. We prioritize daily prayers, and endeavoring to find deep meaning in them by surrounding them with dhikr and Qur’an recitation. This routine will serve as the backbone of our schedule, empowering us with the spiritual strength we need to tackle each day with confidence and conviction.
There is nothing that will touch your soul like hearing the Quran recited beautifully and properly by world-class Quran reciters. Our retreat will feature sessions of recitation throughout the day of world-class guest Qaris, after which participants can reflect on the meaning of the Qur’an’s verses. Through guided discussions and exercises, they will gain a deeper understanding of its importance in Muslim life. Additionally, we will incorporate the Qur’an into other aspects of the retreat, creating an immersive experience centered around its teachings.
Our retreat features workshops focused on tajweed, tafsir, and reflection on the Quran, as well as workshops on leadership, team building and creative arts from an Islamic framework.
Every cabin group will have two or more mentors who are there to assist attendees with anything they may need, and to help them have fun, learn, and get the most out of their retreat. Mentors are people they can trust to talk about issues that are important and relevant to them personally. Our mentors are vetted and trusted as great role models for attendees.
Throughout the weekend, we will be doing fun activities together, including hiking, rock climbing, swimming, basketball, soccer, archery and more!
Our program is designed to provide attendees with a holistic experience that encompasses spiritual growth, physical activity, and creative expression. Each day is packed with engaging activities that will leave you feeling energized and inspired.
Join us for a beautiful experience in the stunning Smoky Mountains.
