You Weren’t Created to Live in Pieces
Your mind is full.
Your body is tired.
Your soul misses something — even if you can’t name it.
In a world that demands more of us every day, this is your invitation to pause with purpose — and return to the fitrah.
Join us for a four-day immersive retreat on the private island of Pangkor Laut, where stillness meets spirituality. This isn’t just an escape. It’s a realignment: with yourself, with your Creator and with the ever-challenging Dunya.
InsyaAllah, you’ll leave feeling more grounded, more balanced and more spiritually alive — ready not just to live, but to live with purpose.
Our deen doesn’t call us to a life of extremes — it calls us to balance.
This retreat is built on that principle: that we care for our body, nurture our mind, and feed our soul. It’s a holistic approach that helps us find success in both Dunya and Akhirah.
The retreat is also not just about personal productivity. It’s about sharing with others the beauty of this way of life — through compassion, values and adab. As the Prophet ﷺ said:
“Love for your brother what you love for yourself.” (Bukhari)
Sometimes, the most powerful message is not spoken — it’s lived.
