TOUR POSTPONED
An African Tour with Sh. Belal Assaad
MEN AND WOMEN AROUND THE MESSENGER ﷺ
Their struggles were real. Their faith was tested. Their stories are yours.
Join Sheikh Belal Assaad for an unforgettable series of events across Africa — Men and Women Around the Messenger ﷺ — an emotionally powerful journey through the lives of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ.
From grief and loss to identity, purpose, and doubt, the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ faced many of the same struggles we experience today. Their stories are not merely part of history; they continue to offer timeless lessons and guidance. Through reflection on their lives, Sheikh Belal Assaad invites audiences to draw meaningful connections between their experiences and our own.
What TO EXPECT?
Gain a deeper appreciation of the lives and sacrifices of the Companions ﷺ
Reflect on challenges and questions that are relevant to everyday life
Benefit from Sheikh Belal's engaging and thoughtful approach to storytelling and Islamic education
Join a community of Muslims gathering across Canada and the USA to learn, reflect, and grow together
Each event in the tour explores one of the following themes through the stories of the Companions ﷺ. Specific Companions and topics for each city will be announced soon.
Mental Health and Finding Peace
Anxiety, overwhelm, and the search for stillness. The Companions who faced their darkest moments — and found something unshakeable on the other side.
Identity and Belonging
What it means to be Muslim in a world that doesn’t always make space for you. The Companions who lived as minorities and defined themselves by faith alone.
Grief, Loss and Starting Over
For everyone who has lost something — a marriage, a parent, a version of themselves. The Companions who had everything taken and rebuilt from nothing.
Purpose and Not Wasting Your Life
The pull between comfort and conviction. The Companions who chose the harder, realer path — and never looked back.
Marriage and Family
What love, sacrifice, and commitment actually looked like in the generation closest to the Prophet ﷺ.
Racism, Injustice and Standing Firm
The Companions who were oppressed, targeted and marginalised — and met every injustice with dignity and faith.
Doubt and Coming Back
For anyone who has drifted or questioned. The Companions whose stories carry one message above all others: it is never too late.
Wealth, Generosity and Legacy
The Companions who built extraordinary wealth — and spent it for something that outlasted them by 1,400 years.
