Piety With Purpose Conference
The second annual Thabaat Piety with Purpose Conference, in collaboration with Miftaah Institute, will be on Saturday, October 26 from 4:00PM - 10:00 PM!
While our careers keep us busy, we must remember to feed our souls. Global impact begins with personal piety and strengthening our relationship with Allah (SWT). Guided by this theme, our conference will feature a new lecture and discussion format inspired by our flagship Thabaat programs. Dive deep into topics relevant to the personal and professional lives of young professionals including:
- Piety: The Key to Purpose and Happiness
- Islamic Frameworks for Leadership
- Barriers to Healthy Relationships
Throughout the panels, we’ll explore hot-button topics like practical steps to address the marriage and divorce crises, to move or not to move to a Muslim-majority country, and how to keep growing spiritually while you develop yourself professionally.
This conference will feature a professional networking hour from 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM for attendees to connect, engage in discussion, and build relationships with fellow young professionals.
