This Muharram 2023|1445 Sacred Roots will host gatherings in honour of Imam Husayn son of 'Ali, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, with Syed Hadi Rizvi.

We will gather in-person at Sacred Roots—1758 W. 21st Place—and will broadcast virtually via ZOOM

Series Theme: Renewing Our Primordial Covenant

The human exchange with the Divine began with a heartfelt affirmation of God's sole lordship. Whilst in that moment humankind uttered the trust words of their existence, the union with the material self led to many forgetting their origin story. In this series, we hope to revisit that moment and reconnect with that self. In doing so, we hope to become more familiar with the many facets of God's lordship, as described in the Quran.

We will take assistance from the epic of Husayn b. Ali and his journey to martyrdom.
