“It’s time for you to look inward and begin asking yourself the big questions: Who are you, and what do you want?”
Join us the start of our latest 3-week Grounding module as we move Beyond the Why in the journey of Discovering Our Purpose
Led by Awais Sheikh, finding our purpose is the existential questions for every human. Without it, we feel lost but the quest to find it can frustratingly elusive.
We will start by looking at Simon Sinek groundbreaking “Start with Why” which told a generation of leaders to “Start with Why”. But while it was a breakthrough at the time, for many of us, it is no longer enough.
Knowing your Why is still essential, but without grounding it in belief, it lacks context. It doesn’t tell you how to invite blessing into your work. And it doesn’t tell you what to do with outcomes you can’t control.
To that end, we will explore The Sacred Circle is a new framework for purpose, built for values-aligned professionals navigating work, identity, and meaning in our time. It takes the Golden Circle further, into three questions that build on and enhance the Why-How-What framework.
Over three weeks at The Grounding, we look inward together to explore the threads of your identity, design a pattern for your future, and weave your dreams into reality, all grounded in our relationship with Allah and each other.
The Schedule
Week 1 – Belief
What do you actually believe about yourself, the people you lead, and God? Purpose doesn’t start with your goals. It starts with your convictions. We explore how foundational beliefs quietly shape every decision we make.
Week 2- Blessings
How are you showing up, and are you inviting blessing into how you work? Inspired by the work of Mohammad Faris, this session explores the spiritual quality of our work — presence, intention, and alignment over mere efficiency.
Week 3 – Trust
What is your relationship with outcomes you can’t control? We do the work. We lead with integrity. And then we learn to let go. This session is about the practice of trust.
Featuring a talk and discussions, the event begins promptly at 7:30 and takes place in Qahwa Cafe.
Open to attendees ages 21+, the latest session in our weekly series for young working professionals on contemporary issues through spiritual lens.
Registration is optional but highly encouraged. Donations are greatly appreciated to support future events and we look forward to seeing you there!

Conversations about spirituality and mental health have become increasingly common. Yet from an Islamic perspective, were they ever truly separate? Does the modern language of mental health fully capture what it means to flourish as a human being?
Join Dr. Abdallah Rothman for a thought-provoking conversation exploring how the Islamic understanding of the soul reframes our ideas of suffering, healing, and human development. Rather than viewing spirituality as one component of psychological well-being, this discussion will examine how Islam offers an integrated vision of the human being in which the heart, mind, body, soul, and our life in community are inseparable.
Together, we’ll explore the Islamic path of human development: how presence is cultivated amid distraction, how suffering can become a catalyst for transformation, and how healing unfolds not only within the individual but through relationships, families, and communities grounded in mercy, responsibility, and remembrance of Allah.
Drawing from both the Islamic spiritual tradition and contemporary psychology, we will reflect with Dr. Rothman on what it means to flourish, not merely by reducing distress, but by cultivating a life of inner coherence, meaningful connection, and purpose in this world while remaining oriented toward the next.
The program will be moderated by Imam Hicham Hall, Community Imam at ADAMS Center. This informal conversation will include ample opportunity for audience questions and discussion.
Saturday, July 25
7:00–8:30 PM
