Frequently Asked Questions about With Allah

No. With Allah is an experiential Islamic spiritual training, not a lecture or a one-way study circle. Islamic principles are its foundation, but across the three days participants spend more time reflecting, writing, discussing and taking part in guided exercises than listening. The aim is to see how belief in Allah shows up in the choices and routines of everyday life.

No. The training is designed for adults from any background, whether you attend study circles regularly or are only now wanting to draw closer again. Its core ideas (Allah as the Source, qada and qadar, ikhtiar and tawakkul) are presented in everyday language and experienced through exercises, so they can be understood without academic religious training.

It means learning by experiencing, not only by listening. Over 15 sessions in three days, participants reflect, write, discuss and take part in guided exercises such as The Choice Line, Source Cards and The Control Circle, then work through them with the trainers. Each exercise connects one principle to the participant’s own life: work, family, provision and the decisions in front of them.

Yes. Qada and qadar sit at the heart of one of the programme’s three principles: Life Is Predestined. On the second day, participants explore the relationship between qadar, responsibility, choice, ikhtiar, control, acceptance and tawakkul, not as theory but through their own life experience. They close by writing a personal Qadar Statement: accept, take responsibility, entrust.

No. “Qadar does not cancel responsibility.” Accepting qadar does not mean giving up effort. In this training, tawakkul is understood as walking together with ikhtiar: participants are encouraged to make responsible choices, take meaningful action and give their best effort, then entrust the outcome to Allah. The Control Circle exercise helps distinguish what is ours to carry from what is returned to Him.

Working adults, professionals, leaders, entrepreneurs, parents and anyone seeking closeness, clarity and meaning in the way they live. It is especially relevant if you appear successful yet feel something is missing, are going through a major life transition, or are tired of trying to control every outcome. Participants must be at least 18 years old.
