Circles of S.U.H.B.A.H.
Circles of S.U.H.B.A.H. are spiritual support circles of six peers who want to grow together in the spirit of love and service while learning and practicing important universals and branches of their religion together through a curriculum designed to remind, inspire and Insha Allah benefit all those in attendance.
SUPPORT • UNDERSTAND • HELP • BELIEVE • ACTUALIZE • HEAL
Circles of S.U.H.B.A.H. are meant to provide support as members hold space for each-other with weekly check-ins and updates, allowing members to feel deeply connected in good and regular company, especially during this time of isolation. These circles deepen religious understanding as texts are meant to be discussed and reflected upon together. They provide help as members will use these circles as places to practice service to their brothers or sisters in faith. They are spaces where everyone can believe together through remembrance of God and collective supplication. They are meant to help us actualize the lessons with a practical life-enhancing assignment for each week. Finally, they are meant to be a place of healing, where everyone can feel safe being vulnerable, being themselves and being at home with beloved companions embraced as they are: beautiful, perfectly imperfect believers striving to better their souls for God, hoping to better love and serve His creation as they travel through this world.
