Connecting with the Quran in Everyday Life:
Finding Peace within Istighfar
Join us in our journey to understand the profound meaning of istighfar!
Istighfar, asking for forgiveness from God, is a key concept in the Qur’an.
Prophet Muhammad (p) used to make istighfar all day long. Why?
What is the deeper meaning of istighfar?
Do we only need to make istighfar when we commit wrongdoings?
Let us experience together the peace and healing that istighfar brings to our physical and spiritual life!
The aim of this retreat is to help us understand and relate to the Quran more deeply and see how the Quran guides and supports us in living a life of ihsan.
Enlightening and transformative Quranic wisdom lectures, interactive sessions, and communal worship!

Dr. Mermer’s areas of expertise are Qur’anic studies, Islamic theology, as well as religion and science.

By then Dr. Mermer’s interest had shifted from the world of physics to the vaster and much more mysterious inner world of the self. This interest led her to encounter Islamic spirituality and to discover the healing wisdom of the Qur’an. Meanwhile she also received intensive training in Islamic Studies. She has taught Arabic and Islamic Studies in various universities in the United States. In addition to English, she is fluent in Arabic, French, and Turkish. Dr. Mermer loves to teach and share with others the Qur’anic wisdom that has enlightened and healed her soul.
Dr. Mermer is most known to her students and friends as a compassionate mentor. Her life long mission is to align her spirit, heart, mind and reason, such as to be attain fulfillment and peace through the grace of the All-Merciful.
