Root your being in the sacred heritage of humanity: the wisdom imparted by the Prophets and Sages since the beginning of time, and especially the teachings of Prophet Muhammad, the Universal Teacher who encompassed eternal wisdom in the way it needs to be expressed for the times in which we live and the times to come.

If religious activity does not nurture the soul, it's not true religion. All of the activities Sanad offers seek to nurture the soul and help it develop its beauty and take its rightful place in the being of the human that it may guide and provide the inner compass needed on the journey of life.

The fruit of seeking wisdom and nurturing the soul is a life-long devotion to sharing compassion with those around us, our neighbours, our society, and future generations. Our projects are aimed at being accessible to all and opening the doors of the spiritual life and community belonging to all.

Sacred Spaces 

Rhoda Mosque and Maison de Fatima

In addition to being a place of learning, the Rhoda Institute is also a prayer space. Between learning activities, its doors remain open to those seeking a peaceful and calm space for prayer, reflection and meditation. In Montreal, Maison de Fatima hosts weekly devotional gatherings and other special events. These sacred spaces provide opportunities for the cultivation of inner peace,  within the supportive fellowship of community.
