THEMES & DATES

OVERVIEW

THEMES ACADEMIC YEAR 2026

Themes such as wealth, formation, patience and gratitude approach the Qur’an not only as sacred text, but as a guide for emotional intelligence, ethical decision-making, and personal growth. Each topic is explored in two parts: a Qur’anic Deep Dive, followed by a group Reflection & Application workshop that connects timeless wisdom to contemporary practice.

Together, these sessions invite participants to rethink familiar concepts through a Qur’anic lens, fostering deeper self-awareness and more purposeful engagement with everyday life.
