WHAT IS THE MASCON RETREAT?

 

The MASCON Retreats (formerly known as the Knowledge Retreat) are an intensive knowledge-based trio of retreats that is launching this year.

It is the same in concept as the Knowledge Retreat, but we now have it in English, Arabic, and we have also added Marriage Counseling. With the challenges of todays life and the recent years of covid isolation, this was a much-needed upgrade for our community.

This is for the attendee that is looking just to gain knowledge. Maybe you already studied Islamic studies in college, or go to one of the Institutes that we partner with, either way this is a 2-day lecture filled retreat that will fill your soul with the knowledge you crave, or hopefully help your marriage to be a joint union where you feel fulfilled, heard and appreciated.

This program does have a limited number of seats available.

The speakers and counselors in this MASCON Retreats Trio are not necessarily speaking at the main convention. They are highly specialized in the topic they are speaking about at the Knowledge Retreat. Please click the link for more information.

English Knowledge Retreat

“Elevating the Soul: Ibn Ataa’s Pearls of Wisdom” is a profound exploration of the timeless spiritual insights of Ibn Ataa’illah. This collection of wisdom offers deep reflections on faith, self-purification, and the journey toward divine closeness. Through his enlightening words, readers are inspired to cultivate sincerity, trust in Allah, and a heart devoted to spiritual growth. Perfect for those seeking guidance in their pursuit of inner peace and a stronger connection with their Creator.

Arabic Knowledge Retreat

الحمد لله الذي جعل في أقوال أوليائه وحِكم العارفين نورًا يبدّد ظلمات القلوب، ودواءً يداوي جراح النفوس، وسكينةً تُلهم السائرين على درب الوصول إليه. فما كلمات العارفين إلا شُعاعٌ من أنوار القرب، وقطرات من بحر الحكمة، تبعث الحياة في القلوب الميتة، وتوقظ في الأرواح شوقها إلى خالقها، وتدلّ الحائرين على الطريق. في هذه الدورة الممتدة على يومين، نعيش مع نفحات الحكم العطائية للإمام ابن عطاء الله السكندري رحمه الله، نتفيّأ ظلال معانيها، ونغوص في أعماق أسرارها، نستخرج من دررها ما يُعين على تهذيب النفس وتزكيتها، وتقوية الصلة بالله عز وجل، واكتشاف معاني الرضا والتسليم، وتنمية الروح بالذكر والتأمل، حتى يغدو القلب أنقى، والنظر أوضح، والخطى أثبت في طريق السالكين إلى الله

MASCON RETREAT IN ENGLISH

While few people who call themselves Muslim would ever question the authenticity of the Quran, we find that many Muslims question hadith from different aspects and for various reasons. Hadith has always been under attack, especially in modern days despite the fact that most of the Islamic teachings and rulings are taken directly from the Hadith not the Quran.

MASCON RETREAT IN ARABIC

على مدى يومين نمضي في في هذه الدورة المختصرة في رحلة مع السنّة النّبويّة على شقّين؛ ففي الشقّ الأول نتعرّف وبشكل مبسط على مرتكزات علم مصطلح الحديث وتاريخ تدوينه وجمعه وتنقيحه وتنقيته من الدخائل ومعرفة رجاله وكتبه الجامعة

وفي الشقّ الثاني من الدورة نتعرّض بشئ من الشرح لستٍ من أحاديث الأربعين النوويّة مع إستنياط دروس نعالج بها واقعنا المعاش

فلنحيا جميعاً بالسنّة على أملٍ بلقاء صاحبها -صلّى الله عليه وسلّم- في الفردوس الأعلى من الجنّة
