by Tania Lin. For years, my heart had clung to strength as a form of survival—armouring up, guarding every wound. But in surrender, what remained was only love and relief.
by Zulfikar. This is a sweetness I do not want to forget, this is the taste of sweetness that I want to be everlasting. I thank Allah ﷻ for this trip, this gift, this experience, this sweetness. Even my thanks will never suffice for what has been given.
By Zulfikar. The barrier was never His Majesty's absence, but our lack of realisation. The retreat, culminating in that open-air dhikr, served as a powerful lens, focusing our sight and attuning our hearts to recognise the divine symphony constantly playing within and around us.
by The Destitute One, Ustadz Mohamed Sameer. Not once did I say ‘Allah’. I did not know how to. If I had died with those vulgar words as my last, what would have happened? It is still scary to think
By Khadijahmah Bte Abdul Barik. I have come to realise that when Allah SWT puts you through tests, it is not because He does not love you rather, it is because He loves you.
By Noor Haseena. We can learn that the Holy Quran is not just a sacred book to be read beautifully, but it is knowledge to be internalised and acted upon.
By Tania Lin. Through them, I began to understand that life is not about accumulation or survival. It is about servitude, remembrance, and conscious return to our origin.
By Muhammed Arif Bin Syed Sulaiman. These moments renew our hearts and deepen our understanding of our true purpose: to know Allah, to worship Him as if we can see Him, and bring into consciousness that He is with you at every moment, sustaining you.
By Nur Aaila Ayesha Sim. You just need a heart that’s willing to listen. Allah already knows where you’re starting from — He’s waiting for you to take the next step. And all it takes is just that 1 step towards Him, He will run to you.
By Tania Lin. To serve sincerely, we must first face what lies within. In the company of others, it became clear how reactive my ego could be to praise, expectations, and criticism.
By Nur Diyanah Hayyuni Bte Maselan. I’ve had some of the deepest, most meaningful conversations with friends just from discussing a single verse. One ayah leads to reflection. Reflection leads to dialogue. Dialogue leads to connection, both with each other, and with the Divine.
By Khadijahmah Bte Abdul Barik. I have come to realise that when Allah SWT puts you through tests, it is not because He does not love you rather, it is because He loves you.
By Fatimah Lin. Through his gentle guidance and wisdom, I was showered with knowledge and reminders that reached my heart. Every session, every conversation, felt like a gift.
By Muhammad Aalif Tan. But the greatest injustice is to not put the knowledge into practice after receiving it. This is a journey of learning and practise, giving life to the knowledge.
By Jayson Ishaq Ang. I used to think being a Muslim who utters the Shahadah alone was enough. My prayers were mechanical movements, my fasts mere abstinence from food and drink. Like many others, I stood in the first level of faith.
By Batrisya Nerva Abdullah. This retreat taught me so much. I realized that being close to Allah SWT brings true peace. Praying together, doing zikr, and taking time to reflect on life are really important.
By Raziq Azman. I would love to keep going for retreat like his as it's one for my rare opportunity for me to get rid of my attachment to the world and fully focus on the hereafter with other pious people.
By Liza Nerva Abdullah. It struck me that sometimes, Allah SWT draws us closer not through grand events, but through quiet trials that gently turn our hearts back to Him alone.
By Nur Aaila Ayesha Sim. And in that stillness, I realized: this is what I came for. Not answers. Not resolution. Just a shift. Subtle, but real—the kind that only happens when you make space for it.
By Syazana Abdul Malik. When we read together, we often pause at certain ayahs to reflect and truly ponder what Allah SWT is trying to communicate to us. It becomes more than just reading as it becomes a sacred conversation with the Divine.
By Jayson Ishaq Ang. Every moment of interaction shows Allah's mercy because our every talent functions as a borrowed blessing from Him which reveals our spiritual path.
