More details:
We also run a yearly Shrink Summer Camp in Edinburgh. To find out more about our summer camp please click here
Our work is based on the principle of Intactness, which is in a nutshell “self control through reasoning and intelligence”: It’s the ability to zoom out, appreciate what you have, humble yourself and use reasoning to make the right choice, navigate the obstacles of life, keep focused in the present and protect yourself from danger. Our main focus is on integrity and purity of the mind and body and it is based on the Quran and Sunna.
We promote: Intelligence, Accountability and Goodness
We discourage: pride, envy and greed.
We will learn essential skills of self control via reasoning and understand why the reconnection with the Divine is the key to a content life.
These activities will be age appropriate.
