The Dunya Detour
Wisdoms from Surah Al-Waqiʿah & the Prophetic Blueprint

In a world obsessed with chasing status, success, and fleeting pleasures — The Dunya Detour is a heartfelt invitation to pause, reflect, and reroute.
This transformative program explores Surah Al-Waqiʿah as the ultimate map guiding us toward the true destination: closeness to Allah and eternal success in the Hereafter.
With its powerful imagery and categorization of souls, the Surah draws a clear line between worldly distractions and divine realities.

THIS PROGRAM IS YOUR DETOUR
-
At the heart of this course is a powerful truth:
What you sow here, you reap there.
Your daily choices shape your eternal outcome.
-
So ask yourself:
What story are you writing in your Book?
Will you be among the people of the right, the people of the left, or — may Allah make us among them — the foremost?
Through reflection, discussion, and heart-softening reminders from Surah Al-Waqi'ah & Hadith, students will be inspired to redefine success, embrace purposeful living, and walk the path of those drawn near to Allah.
This course is your detour — away from distraction, toward Divine direction.
