Qur'anic Arabic Webinar: Sura Yusuf by Arabica Institute Sat 17 February 2018 10:00 – 12:00 GMT
HADITH OF THE WEEK Helping others is a core principle of Islam. An-Nawawi’s Hadith No.36 On the authority of Abu Hurairah (Radhiallahu anhu) that the Prophet (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said: "Whosoever removes a worldly grief from a believer, Allah will remove from him one of the griefs on the Day of Judgment. Whosoever alleviates [the lot of] a needy person, Allah will alleviate [his lot] in this world and the next. Whosoever shields a Muslim, Allah will shield him in this world and the next. Allah will aid a slave [of His] so long as the slave aids his brother. Whosoever follows a path to seek knowledge therein, Allah will make easy for him a path to Paradise. No people gather together in one of the houses of Allah, reciting the Book of Allah and studying it among themselves, but tranquillity and peace descends upon them, mercy envelopes them, the angels surround them, and Allah makes mention of them amongst those who are with Him. And whosoever is slowed down by his actions will not be hastened forward by his lineage." Related by Muslim in these words.

We live with a strange expectation that love is a feeling to be felt rather than a skill that can be learnt. We expect true love to happen magically. We seek, pray and love. but nothing happens. Come and experience a vibrant and dynamic event where you will set yourself onto your journey of Seek, Pray and Love. Whether you're still searching, have found the 'one' or are in a marriage - this event is for you. Here at Barefoot we are passionate about awakening, rekindling and taking forward your current views and facilitating these into meaningful actions that work for you. This evening workshop will present neuroscience, psychology and traditional Islamic spirituality to help you take an 'active' approach on how to SEEK, PRAY and LOVE. Our values, ethics and nurturing lends us to create a narrative that upholds an innovative format that uses a three tier programme designed for you to explore and activate your chances to create the love you wish for. Revolutionise your narrative of what it means to seek, pray and love! Seek - Are you truly seeking? How do you seek? Pray - What is your understanding of Destiny? How do you apply this? Love - What does love really mean to you? Are you ready to Seek, Pray and Love?
