Eight days among the saints and scholars of Morocco
Walk the old streets of Fes, Meknes, and Chefchaouen, tracing the legacy of the saints and scholars who shaped this land. From the shrine of Moulay Idris II to Al-Qarawiyyin Mosque and the zawiyas of Fes, the journey brings together spiritual reflection, scholarly circles, and time with the culture of the region. It closes in the blue-washed streets of Chefchaouen.
Imam Ahmad Deeb
“O Allah, You know that I did not intend by building this city ostentation or boasting, nor reputation nor arrogance. I intended only that You be worshipped in it, that Your Book be recited in it, and that Your ḥudūd, the ordinances of Your dīn and the Sunna of Your Prophet be established in it for as long as You leave the world standing. O Allah, grant its dwellers and settlers success in good and help them to it; spare them the burden of their enemies; pour out provision upon them; and sheathe away from them the sword of fitna, discord and hypocrisy. You have power over all things.”
