Taking the Quran as a Friend: A One-Day Surah Ar-Rahman Retreat

A gentle day of reflection, presence and reconnection with the Book that knows your heart.

Since the success of our first retreat in April, we've had numerous messages asking for more one-day options and we hear you. We know it isn't easy to leave your home and commitments overnight which is why we've curated a beautiful one-day retreat experience for you!
In the busyness of life, our relationship with the Quran can sometimes feel distant or robotic. This one‑day retreat is an invitation to slow down and meet the Quran differently, as you'd meet a friend.

Focused on Surah Ar‑Rahman, often called The Surah of Divine Mercy, this retreat is designed for Muslim women who are seeking a more meaningful connection with Allah’s words. Whether you are new to Quranic reflection or longing to deepen an existing relationship, this day offers space to learn, reflect and reconnect.

Together, we will explore what it truly means to take the Quran as a friend who meets you where you are, reminds you of Allah's love and mercy and wants to get to know you better and you will leave, better able to engage with the book of Allah.
We've designed the day to offer a blend of learning, stillness, sharing and personal reflection, guided by Ustadha Ayesha in a warm and welcoming environment. Expect moments of silence, heartfelt conversation, guided tafsir and intentional journalling.

What can you expect:

• A powerful deep dive into Surah ar Rahman with Ustadha Ayesha
• Moments of silence, reflection, reconnection and creativity through a series of activities designed to help your heart yearn for Allah
• A calm and cosy, intimate space designed to help you feel renewed
• A Quran journalling workshop led by @vividbymaryam
• A chance to share your reflections in a safe and nourishing space
• An opportunity to take part in congregational prayers
• A gift bag containing tools to help you throughout the day as well as some beautiful gifts from our partners
• A nourishing lunch and wholesome snacks
• An intimate group setting
