About
Ustadha Sahar Dandan
SASS is a monthly halaqah dedicated to nurturing the heart, deepening self-awareness, and strengthening our relationship with Allah through the timeless teachings of Islam. Drawing upon the Purification of the Heart poem of Imam Mawlud, each gathering explores a specific disease of the heart, examining its spiritual roots, signs, and manifestations in our daily lives. Together, we will reflect on the wisdom of our tradition to understand how these inner ailments affect our worship, relationships, and wellbeing, while learning practical and spiritual remedies to cultivate sincerity, contentment, humility, gratitude, and closeness to Allah. Through knowledge, reflection, and sisterhood, this halaqah offers a supportive space for personal growth and spiritual transformation on the journey of purifying the heart.
