Global Zawiyah Network Pillars:
- The focus of the zawiyah is to bring people to the corner with Allah. While you may offer other healing modalities and spiritual activities outside of the zawiyah, the zawiyah space is a sacred space for reading, writing, check-ins, and a return to our Lord.
- Being a zawiyah leader holds the beautiful responsibility of shepherding the beautiful hearts who are called to you. It is important to practice deep adab while in the role of zawiyah leader, bowed at the feet of clients, following the guidance of Allah, with deep love and good boundaries.
- We are all in this together. Zawiyah leaders will support the growth of the network by offering suggestions and feedback to improve how the network showcases their zawiyah and offers zawiyah leaders support. Ma’rifa will not be seeking feedback from zawiyah participants directly. Should there be a conflict between a zawiyah leader and zawiyah participant that will be brought to Ma’rifa, Ma’rifa will help to facilitate a sulha to support everyone involved.
If you have questions or comments about the network, please reach out to Yasmine.
