Alhamdulillah, we are looking forward to a wonderful retreat after waiting for two long years. We missed everyone, and Insha’Allah look forward to gathering together to learn, share, and worship in this wonderful location!
Mission: The New Mexico Muslim Women’s Association intends
for women to come together as a group in an open forum for the purpose of exchanging
ideas and discussing issues concerning Islam and Muslims. We use as our main points
of guidance the Holy Quran and the Sunna of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
Who should attend? - Women, aged 12 and above, interested in spiritual
renewal and enrichment from an Islamic perspective. Women of all faiths are welcome.
Dates: September 9 – 11, 2022
