Bismillah. In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate, we invite you to participate in a beautiful act of giving—helping Sister Desiree, a newly converted Muslim, attend the 2024 Soul of Womanhood Knowledge Retreat and Umrah. This sacred journey, led by esteemed Islamic scholar Shaykha Ieasha Prime and "Fit Muslimah" Mubarakah Ibrahim, is not just about performing Umrah, but also about expanding her knowledge, heart, and mind in the company of women dedicated to the deen.
This is your chance to earn immense rewards (ajr) by enabling your sister in Islam to grow spiritually, gain transformative knowledge, and embark on the life-changing experience of Umrah. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said, “Whoever fulfills the needs of his brother, Allah will fulfill his needs.” Imagine the reward of helping a sister not only visit the House of Allah but also increase her understanding of Islam in ways that will impact her for a lifetime, inshaAllah.
We need your help to raise the funds by Friday, October 18, 2024, so Sister Desiree can take part in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, insha'Allah.
"Asalamu Alaikum, my name is Desiree.
I began my journey to Islam at 13 years old when I met my math teacher, Mrs. Mohammed. Her modesty, kindness, and the beauty of her hijab sparked something in my heart. She introduced me to Islam, and although it took years before I took my shahadah, her teachings about the oneness of Allah (Tawheed), modesty, and the beauty of this deen stayed with me.
After years of reflection, I realized I wanted to live with the joy and peace I saw in the lives of Muslims. When I finally took my shahadah, I found immense tranquility in my heart. Now, my deepest desire is to grow in my faith, visit the House of Allah, and be among women who live and teach the deen of Allah. This retreat and Umrah would not only fulfill my dream of making Umrah, but it would also be a chance to learn and expand my understanding of Islam, to grow both spiritually and mentally. I pray that Allah rewards all those who help me, whether it be through donations or duas."
Supporting this campaign is not just about helping Desiree perform Umrah—it’s about expanding her knowledge and spiritual growth through the 2024 Soul of Womanhood Knowledge Retreat. This program, led by Shaykha Ieasha Prime and Mubarakah Ibrahim, will nurture her understanding of sacred femininity, womanhood in Islam, and the spiritual strength of the women around the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ).
This journey is designed to expand the heart and mind—giving Desiree the tools to connect more deeply with her faith, increase her knowledge of the deen, and return as an empowered, spiritually uplifted Muslimah. Through this knowledge retreat, she will join a community of like-minded women dedicated to lifelong learning and spiritual growth.
Your support will enable Desiree to benefit from:
As a community, we know the immense reward that comes from sadaqah (charity), especially when it helps someone grow in their deen. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) reminded us, “Sadaqah extinguishes sin as water extinguishes fire.”Supporting a sister to expand her knowledge and perform Umrah is one of the most powerful forms of sadaqah jariyah (ongoing charity)—bringing blessings that will last long after this life, as Desiree returns spiritually uplifted and prepared to share her knowledge with others.
Last year, through the generosity of supporters like you, we successfully sent sisters on this transformative journey. This year, we can continue this legacy with your help. Imagine the joy you’ll feel knowing that your contribution helped a sister grow in her understanding of Islam, make tawaf around the Ka’bah, and be spiritually nourished in Mecca and Medina.
We need to raise the necessary funds by Friday, October 18, 2024, and every contribution brings Desiree closer to fulfilling her dream. Whether you give $5 or $500, your generosity will directly impact her spiritual growth and journey to Allah’s House.
This is not just about supporting a physical journey—it’s about empowering a sister to deepen her knowledge and faith. Your donation will help Desiree connect with the legacy of the righteous women around the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) and return with a renewed sense of purpose, heart, and mind.
Donate now to help Sister Desiree attend this sacred journey and knowledge retreat. Your support is more than financial—it’s an act of love and solidarity, helping a fellow sister in her spiritual growth.
Jazakum Allahu Khairan for your generosity. Donate today and share in the reward. Together, we can send Desiree on her life-changing journey to Umrah and knowledge!
