Programs
Dar al Islam's programs focus on renewing our connection with the fitra, the natural disposition upon which God creates all things. Based on the parable of "a good word is like a good tree" (Quran, 14:24-5), our programs create spaces for participants to grow spiritually and develop Prophetic character through selfless service, engagement with nature and other activities.

Grounded in Faith
Dar al Islam programs follow the rhythm of our daily worship. Participants learn the importance of taking time to remember God every day & practice doing so. Whether attending an art or nature workshop, all Dar al Islam programs are spiritually integrated. We strive to teach through practice & experience, connecting our visitors to their God through the natural beauty of the landscape & spiritual guidance.

Aspiring to Prophetic Character
Cohort - based learning programs and experiential learning opportunities provide the space to practice spiritual purification (tazkiyya) and development (tarbiyya) by learning Prophetic character.
The Prophet's character, peace be upon him, is the Quran, and Dar al Islam is a place where people can practice bringing the Quran to life. -
Serving Selflessly
We see service as the good deeds we perform for the sake of our families, neighbors, communities and environment. Dar al Islam provides land-based education, creative arts and other programs that teach how to selflessly give and engage with all that is around us.
