Wholesome Living
الحياة الطيبة | al-Hayat at-Tayyibah
Weekend Retreat | Fri 16 – Sun 18 May 2025
at the Diyanet Center, Maryland, USA 🇺🇸
Revive The Prophetic Legacy Of Health In Your Life
The epidemic of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, and obesity, is a growing global health crisis, profoundly impacting societies through healthcare costs, reduced quality of life, and mortality rates.
Modern industrial medicine, in spite of its hopes and promises, is unable to solve this worldwide epidemic. Conscientious people across the world are reconnecting with time-tested holistic healthcare traditions for solutions to these modern lifestyle diseases.
Following in the footsteps of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), the Wholesome Living weekend retreat aims to help you restore your connection with nature – Fitrah, get more in balance with nature’s rhythms, and live a healthier lifestyle.
