Assalamu Alaikum everyone! Welcome to the Seekers Youth Retreat: Breaking Barriers to Iman! We’re so excited that you’ve signed up to join us for this special weekend! Get ready for a night of brotherhood, sports, meaningful reminders, personal reflection, and opportunities to strengthen your connection with Allah (SWT) and one another. We hope you’re ready to unplug, step out of your comfort zone, and make some unforgettable memories, inshaAllah! 🌙 What’s in Store? We have an incredible lineup of speakers joining us to tackle real challenges that many of us face in our daily lives: Dr. Omar Husain — “Why Can’t I Just Stop?” Exploring struggles with habits, self-control, and breaking cycles. Ust. Tammam Alwan — “The Battle Within” Understanding the internal struggles we face and how to overcome them. Ust. Safi Khan — “Who Is Really in Control?” Reflecting on control, trust, and reliance on Allah. Ust. Morad Barghouthi — “Purpose Over Escape” Finding meaning and choosing purpose over unhealthy distractions. Sh. Yousef Bakeer — “I’m Not My Addiction” Learning to separate our struggles from our identity and finding a path forward. Ust. Zohair Memon — “Your Circle Can Save You” Understanding the power of good company and surrounding ourselves with people who bring us closer to Allah. Alongside these sessions, we’re planning campfires, suhbah (meaningful brotherhood and conversation), tournaments, halaqat, qiyam, and other activities to make this a weekend to remember! We’re finalizing some of the details tomorrow morning, so stay tuned for more updates, inshaAllah. 📍 Important Details Drop-off: Saturday at 2:00 PM Pick-up: Sunday at 12:00 PM Location: 3000 Meadowmere Lane Grapevine, TX 76051 🎒 Packing List — Don't Forget These!
