In times of dissonance, many seek guidance and solace. The soul, which originates from the heavenly realm, longs for meaning and a deeper connection with God, the Exalted. As the Quran reminds us, "Indeed, in the remembrance of God do hearts find peace." [Quran 13:28] This monthly gathering, led by Amjad Tarsin and Sh. Yahya Rhodus, combines the remembrance of Allah (dhikr) with a study of The Book of Assistance, a foundational text in Islamic spirituality written by the esteemed Imam 'Abd-Allah al-addad. The aim is to nourish the heart through remembrance and enrich the mind with sacred knowledge, fostering both spiritual growth and inner peace.
