It offers participants a chance to receive companionship, knowledge, and Ijaza (certification of learning) from some of the most respected voices in the Islamic tradition.

What is Suhba?

In Islamic tradition, Suhba refers to companionship or fellowship, particularly with spiritual guides or righteous people. It is based on the idea that being in the presence of virtuous individuals influences spiritual growth and moral refinement. Historically, Suhba has been a critical part of Islamic teaching, where students would seek the company of learned scholars to absorb their knowledge, wisdom, and ethics. The spiritual companionship of a teacher aids in cultivating the soul and drawing closer to the creator through introspection, remembrance (dhikr), and service.
