During our hectic lives a moment of stillness and contemplation are valuable gifts which Allah only bestows upon his chosen slaves. Wayfarers Weekend is a blessed moment for us to immerse ourselves in the remembrance of Allah and His Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ is reported to have said ‘a moment of contemplation is better than a thousand years of worship’ . Within this time we will realign our hearts to the Divine and reconnect ourselves to the only two activities that are blessed and everlasting in this abode, with all else being cursed.

The Prophet ﷺ has said: ‘The world is accursed and that which is within it except the Glorification of Allah and that which is associated with it and the teacher and student of sacred knowledge and that which is associated with it’. We beseech Allah’s subtle succour to bless our time and flow over us His Divine grace.

Programme Includes:

Immersing yourself in the Masjid of Allah with a band of believers, in Prayer, Dhikr, Inshaad, Spiritual Walk, Classes and Recreational activities.

Important Note:

All bookings for the Wayfarers Weekend are non-refundable. We attempt to organise these regular weekends to bring maximum benefit to the whole family for the lowest cost possible. Any cancellation means that we do not cover the costs and this jeopardises the future of this community initiative. We hope that you can sympathise with us in this and intending your fee as a optional charity (sadaqh nafilah) will mean that you will share in the reward of the classes and activities during the weekend.
