We are very close to realising our biggest dream yet and setting up something totally unique: the first Islamic knowledge, retreat and nature centre in the Netherlands! After 10 years of growing the Fahm Institute and 5 years of actively looking for our own brick-and-mortar space, we’re almost there. We have found a great farmhouse with 3 hectares of nature, located at just a 1.5 hour drive from Amsterdam. This property has everything it needs to become the hub of Islamic development of the community and all its individual members. To be able to have this on Dutch soil would be a blessing for generations to come!
We still lack €90,000 for the purchase of the land for Fahm HOME. Help us realise this unique centre and donate a m2 of Fahm HOME to revive many beautiful sunnahs and facilitate:
- a Nature Muṣallā, with open-air Jumu'a
- FahMiNi activities: Islamic children's programs and Sunnah Sports
- a Qur'anic Garden: with all the plants, trees and flowers mentioned in the Qur’an!
- Islamic retreats: from MindfulMuslim programs to study weekends
- the keeping of Tayyeb animals (including bees and chickens)
- Da’wah in Dutch and English via the library, courses and workshops
Fahm HOME is the place where you can be unapologetically Muslim and everyone is welcome.
Come, come, whoever you are!
WHY WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT
Fahm Institute is completely run by volunteers for 10 years already, alhamdulillah. For our live events, lectures, retreats and community activities, we’ve always had to rent a venue. Now it’s time to have our own community hub, where we can establish an Islamic holistic knowledge, retreat and nature centre.
In 2014, ustaadhah Anne Dijk founded the Fahm Institute. With the help of other volunteers, they carried out the work for the sake of God and His Messenger. She had spent from her own resources, without any commercial motive, being active in da’wah for over 15 years.
For Fahm HOME, ust. Anne Dijk and co-initiators Rudy van der Aar (Deen Travellers) and Rianne, have put their personal funds in this new project and reached over 85% of the amount needed to buy the property. This means that currently, the other 15% (€90,000) still needs to be raised through community funding. At this stage, we cannot proceed without additional support for the Fahm HOME, so please consider donating to this impressive project!
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROJECT
Every year, more than 1400 students and participants join the Fahm events, courses, retreats or lectures and become part of the ever-growing “Fahmily”. Children have bonded over the FahMiNi events (getting to know the Creator through Islamic activities in nature) and popular retreats were offered in English abroad (Mindful Muslim retreat). Since Europe is going through a surge in right-wing politics and anti-Islam rhetoric, we shouldn’t delay the establishment of a safe space for Muslims. This is the time to buy land for Muslims in Europe and reinforce the ummah for centuries to come. To be unapologetically Muslim. In this current climate, an important part of our inclusive mission is to connect and initiate dialogue not only within the ummah, but also with people of all walks of life, faits and cultures. We hope to establish this holistic space, open for everyone to enjoy Islamic hospitality.
IMAGINE
A place where you can be unapologetically Muslim. Where study, reflection and connection are all different sides of the same you. At the time of the Noble Prophet s.a.w.s., life was very different. People were connected in communities and lived in harmony with their surroundings. Imagine a place right here in Europe where you can disconnect from the busy day-to-day. A place where you can study Islam and meet like-minded professionals. Where you don’t just learn about Islam, but experience it…Challenge yourself and get inspired on your spiritual journey.
A place where Salah creates the rhythm of your day. Where you can retreat and grow as a human, a professional, a Muslim. Where nature is not to be sought, but present all around you, where your fitrah is found, in creation. Where you connect with the One, yourself, nature and the people around you. Where you eat food that was growing right next to you, surrounded by the barakah of friends & family of all ages. No matter who you are, come and enjoy Islamic hospitality. Welcome everyone to the Fahm House of Muslims in Europe. At Fahm HOME, you’re invited to be unapologetically Muslim. Do you want this dream to come true? You can make it happen!
