Join us for a transformative 2-Day Islamic Psychology Workshop on Saturday, June 21st & Sunday, June 22nd, designed exclusively for sisters, focusing on the refinement and development of Ikhlaq (good character).

Led by experienced facilitators, this workshop blends Islamic teachings with psychology to help us understand ourselves more deeply and commit to a lifelong journey of self-improvement.

Hosted by ICNA Sisters Edmonton and IslamicFamily at Al-Falah Mosque.

Workshop Objectives

Participants will leave with an understanding of:

• The concept of fitrah and its connection to personality development
• The relationship between ‘aql (intellect), nafs (self), qalb (heart), and ruh (spirit)
• Abilities given by Allah (SWT) that contribute to character formation
• Methods for disciplining the soul and cultivating good character
• The path of self-transformation toward becoming Insan-e-Kamil — the complete human being

“The most beloved to me and the closest to me on the day of Resurrection will be those of you who have the best character.”
— Sahih Muslim, Hadith 2329
