AND WEEKLY RAMADAN PROGRAM

INTIMATE REVELATIONS
…when Allah addresses the Heart of the Prophet ﷺ

MARCH 25 – 27

وَٱصْبِرْ لِحُكْمِ رَبِّكَ فَإِنَّكَ بِأَعْيُنِنَا

for indeed, you are under Our eyes!”
(al-Ṭūr 52:48)

WEEKLY RAMADAN PROGRAM

APRIL 2, 9, 16, 23

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ
“O faithful! Fasting is prescribed for you—as it was prescribed for those before you—that you may fear Allah.”
(al-Baqarah 2:183)

Being God’s Last Testament, the Qur’an leaves us with all we could ever need for guidance in life. It is this abiding miracle that in its revealed time brought life to dead hearts in the arid deserts of paganism, brought the rationale of law to a people steeped in the evil logic of tribalism, and brought hope to those wallowing away in the plight of pain and the despondency of despair. All of Prophetic history culminates in the Prophet’s story ﷺ. Yet just as the Qur’an details the public context of the whos, whats, wheres, whens, whys, and hows of the sīrah, Allah intimates the private content of the blessed states of the Prophet ﷺ as he endeavored through it all. In myriad passages, Allah divulges to us his inclinations, worries, concerns, and even his secrets. Because of such passages, the Prophet ﷺ stood vulnerable before his ummah, that we may find in him that most intimate exemplar and familiar companion as we tread the paths of our own lives. Lanturna invites you and your families to join our Virtual Spring Retreat, “THE INTIMATE REVELATIONS | …when Allah addresses the Heart of the Prophet ﷺ,” followed by our weekly Ramadan program throughout the blessed month of the Qur’an.

At the dawn of revelation, the Prophet ﷺ was commanded وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ “And as for the blessing of thy Lord, proclaim it!” (al-Ḍuḥā 93:11). And toward the eve of his passing, he instructed those present to inform those absent. If you have found any benefit in our work, then know that it came solely from Allah and His Messenger ﷺ, and with the intention of proclaiming His bounty, feel free to share it with others.
