“Successful indeed is the one who purifies it [the soul/nafs], and ruined is the one who corrupts it.” — Ash-Shams 91:9–10
اللَّهُمَّ آتِ نَفْسِي تَقْوَاهَا وَزَكِّهَا أَنْتَ خَيْرُ مَنْ زَكَّاهَا أَنْتَ وَلِيُّهَا وَ مَوْلَاهَا
O Allah, grant my soul its piety and purify it, You are the Best to purify it, You are its Guardian and Master.
– Prophet Muhammad
Knowledge is the start of every journey
“‘Iqra’ — the first word revealed in the Qur’an (Surah Al-‘Alaq, 96:1) — reminds us that every transformation begins with knowledge.”
Our Mission
Tazkiyah is the journey of purifying the soul and returning to our natural state of fitrah. Our mission is to guide you in aligning the nafs with the ruh — so the soul becomes a window to, not a veil from, the Divine Light (Nur) of Allah.
What is Tazkiyah?
Tazkiyah means self-purification — the process of cleansing the soul (nafs), nurturing the spirit (ruh), and returning to the natural purity (fitrah) we were created with. It is a journey of inner refinement that brings the heart closer to Allah by removing the veils of ego, sin, and heedlessness.
