Bay Area, Don't just hear about it—be there!
We are hosting our next Ta'leef Pop-Up in Berkeley at Delah Coffee on Saturday, November 23rd at 7:30 PM(PT) with our Executive Director, Dr. Ali Dia.
Listen to a message from our former inheritor, Jannah, as she reflects on her personal journey, which began at a young age with Taleef, where she learned what it takes to become a leader.
Its incredibly important for us to nurture and empower the future leaders of tomorrow (our inheritors), and Jannahs story is just one of many who came through our doors and left with a purpose and motivation to give something back to her local community.
Your financial contribution of $3 a day to our campaign can help us support those on the periphery of our tradition: those entering Islam, those at risk of leaving the faith altogether, and the inheritors (youth), like Jannah.
We need your help to sustain the work of Taleef and expand our reach to nurture more inheritors (youth) and cultivate prophetic communities around the world.
Taleef is honored to be at the forefront of providing care to those on the fringes of societywithout judgment and without barriers.
May we all be means of building communities rooted in the noble virtues of prophetic love and selfless service for the sake of God Almighty. Ameen.
Peace and blessings,
Ta'leef Team
Kintsugi is a beautiful Japanese tradition that when something breaks, it is mended back together with liquid gold. Doing so, it is able to take on the former form of the object but with a golden seal in all the places it once was broken.
This past year, many of us have been carrying broken hearts with much of what's happening around us in the world, hoping for a moment of mend. Similar to those performing Kintsugi, Ta'leef has had countless broken hearts walk through its doors, Muslim and non Muslim alike.
As our name indicates, we have had success, by God's grace, in mending the pieces together and allowing the hearts of these individuals to find peace. Peace through the pieces, peace through the pain, peace through the trauma, peace with oneself, and lastly peace with God! From them emanates a light unlike before, coming in and through them, resembling gold shining through the cracks. That is why this years Annual Year-End Event is titled, The Golden Thread.
It is human nature to hold on to hope, and The Golden Thread in our tradition is the word and promise of God and his beloved Prophet .
Please join us in the Bay Area on December 7th and in Chicago on December 15th, as we further discuss the need for all of us to hold on to The Golden Thread at this years 19th Annual Year-End Event.
