Nanima Review: Sister Haifaa on tazkiya – Purification of the heart

July 2011

This course is just what the doctor ordered.  The retreat was enlightening. Enjoyed every second of it. Was great to be away from the rat race for a while and just get things in perspective. Totally awesome and highly recommended. Really feel refreshed, rejuvenated for Ramadaan inshaAllah. Definetly the Tazkiya retreat is one of my top 2 workshops of all time.

I felt like I needed a bit of a break so I decided the best way to get perspective is to leave everything behind and go for this retreat. I decided to leave my computer behind and switch off my cellphone for most of it. It was the best decision I had made. I really thought it was going to be difficult as I have admitted before I am a facebook addict. Alhamdulillah I am finally free. I did not miss it for one minute. I sat through the workshop, practised what was told and alhamdulillah things seem so much better, clearer, peaceful.. as one participant said “this is really a boot camp.” yes a boot camp to boot out the ego.. . The environment was peaceful relaxing, mountains, water, ducks.. tranquility at it’s best. The food was enough. Focus of the retreat to speak less, eat less, sleep less and worship more..  I highly recommend to attend any talks or workshops held by Sister Haifaa. Allah has really given her the gift to move you to change to become closer to Him InshaAllah. Truly you can see how dedicated she is to this work that even though she fractured her leg, she still came to teach us without complaining. We are truly blessed to have access to people like this who teach us ways to get closer to Allah.

Please note if you feel you can’t afford these workshops generally if you speak to the organisers they can always make a plan inshaAllah..

Past retreats 

The retreats are based on Tazkiyyatun-Nafs which means purification of the self/heart. The focus at the retreat is on the individuals relationship with Allah (SWT), and how to cleanse oneself in order to get closer to Allah, through study of the Qur’an, Zikr and reflection. This is the 5th year that we will be having the retreat, InshaAllah. Thus far we have had 6 Ladies retreats in South Africa, as well as one Youth retreat. All of the retreats held thus far were based on a different theme. In 2007 the theme was ‘Tazkiyyah- A Journey to happiness-the Happiness of the Righteous’, In 2008 the theme was : ‘Tawhid- Reflections on Surah Al-Anaam’, In January 2009, In Pretoria the theme was ‘Ikhlaas- Reflections on Surah Zumar’, In Durban it was ‘Tazkiyyah- A Journey to happiness-the Happiness of the Righteous’.

In 2010, the theme in Pretoria (16-19 July) was :  Truth Vs Falshood , Who defines them ?                    Lessons from Surat Alfurqan . The theme in Durban (22-25 July 2010) was: ” Live with Only One “- Tawheed, how do I live it every day?

Alhamdulillah all of the retreats were successful, with full attendance (approx. 150 ladies in Pta and 130 in Durban last year).  With the help of Allah no advertising has been necessary as news has spread by word of mouth and sms’.
