Islamic Events, Converence & Shows - SeekersGuidance Appalachian Retreat:

�So rush to Allah�� (Qur�an, 51:50)

Are you bored with being bombarded with billboard marketing and fed-up with finding nothing better to do than turn on the TV? Do you feel distanced from Allah and His signs, and from the way of the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace)?

SeekersGuidance is offering the opportunity for you to join them on a 5-day long spiritual retreat, where you can reconnect with Allah through learning, reflecting on His creation, engaging in remembrance of Allah, and through the inspiring company of scholars and other keen seekers.

�O you who believe! Be mindful of Allah and be with those true to commitment� (Qur�an, 9:119)

Join us and our line up of international scholars, who will accompany you on this journey. Benefit from their knowledge, understanding and gentle guidance during a series of uplifting lectures and workshops, and experience the wonders of performing acts of worship the way that the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) did.
