Awakening...

For over 15 years, the Rihla programs have been providing a forum for eager students to learn, develop, and be inspired. We give out tens of thousands in scholarships every year to worthy students. This year, we're asking you to help our most deserving students attend these life-changing programs. With your support, we can provide merit and need-based scholarships to committed students around the world!

Building...

Deen Intensive has been providing diverse learning opportunities across the world for over 15 years. Our flagship summer program, the Rihla, has been developed and refined to provide the optimum student experience. Students will benefit, God-willing, from a program that balances classroom education, group study, devotional practices and focused site visitations. Our goal is to deliver a holistic experience to all participants where they each return home with a renewed sense of purpose and direction.

The courses will be part of a complete enrichment experience including coordinated study breaks, review sessions, well-designed course materials, private devotional time, and coordinated recreational activities. Students can, insha’Allah, reap the benefits of combining professional courses, enlightening teachers, and a focused yet spiritually stimulating environment.

Enriching...

The main objective of the Rihla curriculum is to provide students with knowledge that is both a religious duty for each Muslim to learn (fard ‘ayn) and immediately applicable in life. Students will be given the tools to take Islam beyond the classroom and be given practical knowledge with which they can live Islam.

"Rihla is not just an event you attend, it is a marker in your life separating who you once        were from who you want to become. More than the precious knowledge that was taught, I treasure the blessed company of great people--scholars and students alike--who have inspired me to act upon what I already know."

RIHLA 2010

Experience...

This year’s primary location for the Rihla is in the historic city of Konya, which is the spiritual heart of Turkey. Famed as the home city of the 13th century erudite scholar and spiritual master, Mawlana Muhammad Jalal ad-Din Rumi, Konya embodies an innate serenity that enhances the serious study and discipline that is the very core of the Rihla.
