HeartCore: An Afternoon with Surah Al-Fatihah

HeartCore: Surah Al-Fatihah

A Quran Journaling Retreat

📅 Saturday, 27 September 2025

🕑 2:30 PM – 7:00 PM (SGT)

📍 Masjid Sultan Auditorium

🪑Registration opens: 2:00 PM | Learners seated by 2:25 PM

In this retreat, we’ll journey through Surah Al-Fatihah, the opener of the Quran, the anchor of our prayers, and a source of healing.

Why Surah Al-Fatihah?

We recite this Surah at least 17 times a day. But how often do we slow down to feel its words... to ask ourselves:

• Have they become routine, but no longer personal?
• What kind of help am I truly longing for, but haven’t asked Allah for?
• What does “Guide us on the Straight Path” look like in my life today?
• If Al-Fatihah was the only Surah I had, would I let it guide my life?

Al-Fatihah is more than a recitation.

It’s a conversation with your Lord.

A plea for help.

A mirror for the heart.

What is a HeartCore Retreat?

This is not just another Islamic class.

It’s a half-day retreat — a space to pause, breathe, and return to your spiritual core by spending time to get to know the Quran.

Each retreat weaves together:

• Refined Recitation (Tahsin) with Ustaz Muhammad Ilyas Al-Hafiz – Slow, intentional group recitation with tajwid corrections
• Healing Reflections with Ustazah Syariati Sulaiman– Spiritual insights on the Surah’s themes (Ustazah Syariati Sulaiman)
• Psychology-Informed Lens with Ustazah Dr Nooraini Abdul Wahab – Emotional and mental healing in Al-Fatihah
• Guided Journaling Prompts – Space to capture your struggles, hopes, and personal connection with Allah’s words

What to Expect

This retreat is a space to learn, reflect, and be renewed. You will:

• Improve your recitation of Surah Al-Fatihah.
• Pause to reflect on its meaning and how it speaks to your life today.
• Be gently guided with prompts to journal and share (anonymously if you like), and benefit from the perspectives of others in a safe, supportive space.
• Leave with your own reflections, and steps to bring this Surah into your daily life.

Sample Journal Prompts

• What kind of help do I need — and from who?
• Who have I been turning to before Allah?
• Am I walking on the straight path?

No prior knowledge needed.

Just come with your heart, your pen, and your longing to grow closer to Allah.
