A Sacred Legacy for All of Humanity​

It’s time to unlock the Treasures of the meanings of the Prayers of the Prophet, may God's light continue to empower his legacy, for ourselves, for our children, for our colleagues and for our neighbours. This is the legacy of all of humanity - words that can and do change people’s lives!

This project is about bringing these prayers with their holistic and life-changing meanings into languages beyond Arabic: English, French, Spanish, German, Dari, Serbian, Albanian and beyond!

PRAYERS FOR OUR TIME

For the past 10 years, the scholars of the Rhoda Institute have been developing deep, yet simple meditative translations of common prayers. These include interpretations of verses of the Quran, as well as prayers of the Prophet, may God continue to nourish his essence and our connection to him. 

The prayers are translated in a language that speaks to the heart, for the time in which we live, while staying true to the traditional interpretations. They open up new meanings for the readers, young and old, muslim and all others.​

*The Prayer of Serenity is a translation of the universal prayer of trust in our Lord: 
حسبي الله لا إلـه إلا هو عليه توكلت وهو رب العرش العظيم

URGENT NEED FOR THE MEANINGS TO REACH HEARTS

Due to the trying times, we have decided to go out on a limb - we have put ALL of our publications up for download on our website (with more prayers in many languages to be uploaded soon).

JOIN US IN SPREADING THE MESSAGE!

We ask you to take a share in the blessing of having these translations reach and touch hearts, as well as to support the continued work of producing and translating these essential resources for muslims and all others. 

OFFERING THE PRAYERS & BOOKS TO YOU

Check out and download the prayers, meditations and books, and share them far and wide!

Prayer is a path to God, and when you support this project, you are supporting people’s path to God!

HELP US PRODUCE MORE BEAUTIFUL TRANSLATIONS!

Each of these works takes between weeks to years for our scholars to produce. Research, inspiration, creativity, editing, translating into other languages, design, web and print costs all go into the mix.

We depend on your generosity to continue expanding this project - support this #essentialservice

Let's deliver the message of the Prophet - may God continue to nourish his soul, and our connection to him - to hearts all over the world!

May our prayers be filled with consciousness, and may you be a means to other people praying better and deeper!

"Baby is asleep. Time to fully memorise this translation of al Fatiha: The Prayer of Opening.
Why bother? I'm Arab. I understand Arabic. But I do bother because when I bring these meanings to mind (and heart) my prayer transforms into a richer one. I need to know these meanings by heart because they speaks so easily to my heart. It's such a natural translation. It flows like a river to my heart."

-Sarah Saghir, Tunisia

"It took me a while to truly connect to the Quran and the words of the Prophet ﷺ. It always broke my heart to see others listen to the Quran during Tarawih and burst into tears, while I was standing there not sure what was being recited. I remember going back home, asking a friend what we were reciting, and then opening up a translation expecting to have a spiritual opening... well I would read through and think to myself: “that’s it?”

It’s imperative to connect our hearts to the Word of God and the Wisdoms of the Prophet ﷺ. I truly believe that Anse Shehnaz Karim and Shaykh Hamdi Ben Aissa are continuing that legacy."
