Have you ever wanted to spend a weekend with Scholars and Students of Knowledge? At Sabeel retreats you are given the opportunity to spend time with different resident Scholars and students of knowledge learning, discussing, eating, sleeping and socializing with them.
Sabeel Retreats are unique programmes that aim to develop individuals to excel in all spheres of life by harnessing existing potential to create Islamic leaders. In Sabeel together with imparting deep Islamic knowledge there is an additional focus - nurturing individuals in a comprehensive manner in key areas to develop rounded characters who are firmly routed in Islamic principles and have the stimulation and ability to apply these principles.This can only be achieved by developing in all spheres of life, not just the academic and intellectual, but also spiritual, behavioural, management, family and society etc. Sabeel offers the rudimentary framework for many of these spheres and helps guide the way in others.
Sabeel retreats are residential and are held mainly over bank holiday weekends. The whole retreat programme cycle consists of 9 retreats which are held over 3 years. We have made available a number of pathways for students some of which also contain an integrated Quran and Arabic programme.
