A Gathering of Reflection, Connection
& Giving from the Heart
Join Us in a Sacred Offering This Ramadan
This Ramadan, we invite you to participate in a spiritual gathering centered on reflection, connection, and generosity. In the spirit of Sufi teachings and the legacy of our Shaykh, Sidi Muhammad al-Jamal ar-Rafai ash-Shadhili, we are offering this program on a heart-based donation model—an opportunity to give freely while receiving spiritual nourishment.
Your contributions will go directly toward rebuilding the home of Alaa Shaheen, a dedicated Quran teacher from Gaza, whose family has been displaced due to ongoing violence.
Why This Matters
Palestine held a special place in the heart of our Shaykh, and he embodied the principles of courage, justice, and love in standing for the people of Gaza. In honoring this legacy, we are dedicating our Ramadan Project as a way to uplift and support Alaa and her family, who are now living in tents with no access to basic necessities.
Alaa is not just a teacher—she has been a source of light for many who have learned to read the Quran through her. Now, she needs our help.
“I am Alaa Shaheen from Gaza Strip, Palestine. I am a mother of four children and was an Online Arabic Teacher. Since the first day of the war on Gaza, October 7, 2023, my husband and children were forced to leave our home because of the constant bombing.
We are now living in tents, suffering a lot because of the shortage of drinking water, food, and good living conditions.
We have nothing left from our old house. It was bombed and burned. We are now in dire need of help to get the basics of life and to rebuild our home.”
Sidi Muhammad al-Jamal, our beloved guide of the Shadhili Sufi path, dedicated his life to service, teaching, and uplifting the people of Palestine. He carried the weight of love and sacrifice for the land and its people, serving those in hardship with unwavering faith.
