The Retreat
Learn How Allah Introduced Himself to Us
Allah ο·» has not left us to wonder who He is. Through His beautiful Names, He has introduced Himself to His servants β as the Most Merciful, the All-Knowing, the Protector, the Provider, the Near, the Responsive, the Wise, the Forgiving.
But the Names of Allah are not simply meanings to memorise. They are truths to live by. A Heart Connected to Allah is a five-day retreat designed to help you understand the Names of Allah ο·» and how they shape your heart, choices, worship, relationships, and character. This is an invitation to move beyond knowing about Allah β towards living with a heart deeply aware of Him.
As Though You See Him
The Heart of the Retreat
βThat you worship Allah as though you see Him; and if you do not see Him, then indeed He sees you.ββ The Prophet ο·Ί, defining Ihsan
To know Allah is to live differently. To trust differently when life becomes uncertain. To repent differently when you fall short. To worship differently when no one else sees. To walk through life with the awareness that your Lord is near β watching, knowing, providing, guiding, and responding.
The aim of this retreat is not only to study the Names of Allah, but to cultivate the reality of Ihsan: a heart that lives in the presence of Allah.
What You Will Explore
Know Your Lord. Transform Your Life.
The Heart
Deepening love, hope, and reliance β letting the Names transform how you feel.

More Than a Course.
An Immersive Experience.
Hear from attendees who joined us for Ta'seel's previous five-day residential immersion.
I have attended various seminars and courses over the last decade. This has been the most beneficial for me.
It was transformative, uplifting and eye-opening. The extensive work behind the scenes was simply amazing.
The experience gave me the spiritual push I needed to take my Islamic learning more seriously.
The teachers were incredibly talented and conveyed the message in such a thoughtful and sophisticated manner.
The scholars went the extra mile and gave attendees their personal time whenever it was requested.
Excellent course and excellent teamwork. I really enjoyed and benefited from the experience, and the atmosphere was incredible.
