The Blessed Summit

The aim of The Blessed Summit is to introduce our guest to three key concepts:

1	Intellectual stimulation and food for thought in understanding one's purpose in life.
2	Discipline in Eebadaat (worship) in order to purify oneself.
3	Fikr (Contemplation) upon the creation of Allah and its purpose.

In order to maximise benefit from The Blessed Summit we encourage the saalik (seeker) to:
