The Source of Abundance
with Khadim Chishti
Wisconsin USA, January 31st – February 2nd 2025
Holy Wisdom Monastery, Middleton, WI
In the Name of God, the Infinitely Compassionate, the Continually Merciful
We have bestowed on you the Source of Abundance (the Spring of Paradise).
So to your Sustainer turn in prayer and sacrifice (acknowledge from where your life flows).
Surely, the one who rejects you will be cut off (from that Source of Abundant Life).
[Surah al-Kawthar, 108:1-3, translation by Camille Helminski]
God’s Abundance continually flows into creation. What are the ways we are guided to know and trust this Source of Abundance? During the weekend we will explore and deepen our knowledge and connection to “The Source of Abundance” through the Qur’an, Rumi’s teachings, zikr, silence, prayer, and conversation.
