Weekend Retreat with Imam Afroz Ali: Servant Leadership 2.0++
18 - 20 October 2013, Kampung Lonek Homestay, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia

Are you a student of knowledge who strives to translate that knowledge into action, in servitude to others for the sake of Allah? Join us for a weekend retreat away from the hustle bustle of the city, to experience an awakening of the heart to the ultimate concern, to reflect on the teachings surrounded by the beauty of nature, and to discuss the topic of Servant Leadership with Imam Afroz Ali, Managing Director of SeekersGuidance (http://seekersguidance.org) and Founder and President of Al-Ghazzali Centre for Islamic Sciences & Human Development (http://alghazzali.org/) based in Sydney, Australia. [Please see http://seekersguidance.org/teachers/afroz-ali for more on Imam Afroz Ali.]

Servant-leaders are transformational leaders who actively foster collaboration by serving others. The Servant Leader always pursues the welfare of others before themselves, placing others before himself, and guiding people towards good. This topic has always been close to Imam Afroz Ali's heart and he has delivered various talks here in Malaysia and Singapore on different aspects of Servant Leadership. This special weekend retreat with Imam Afroz Ali will delve deeper into this subject and guide us towards a richer understanding and appreciation of the prophetic and sacred approaches of being a Servant Leader. For a preview on the topic, see http://seekershub.org/2011/10/04/seekershub-presents-imam-afroz-ali-on-servant-leadership/.

The Weekend Retreat is designed to ensure everyone who attends it leaves it with a courage and empowerment, motivated towards positive change, individually and collectively. The central theme of this Weekend Retreat is based on this verse from the Holy Qur'an:

"For, true servants of the Most Gracious are only they who walk gently on earth and who, whenever the foolish address them, reply with words of peace."
(al-Furqan (25): 63)
