Bay Area 19th Annual Year-End Event

Kintsugi is a beautiful Japanese tradition that when something breaks, it is mended back together with liquid gold. Doing so, it is able to take on the former form of the object but with a golden seal in all the places it once was broken.

This past year, many of us have been carrying broken hearts with much of what's happening around us in the world, hoping for a moment of mend. Similar to those performing Kintsugi, Ta'leef has had countless broken hearts walk through its doors, Muslim and non Muslim alike.

As our name indicates, we have had success, by God's grace, in mending the pieces together and allowing the hearts of these individuals to find peace. Peace through the pieces, peace through the pain, peace through the trauma, peace with oneself, and lastly peace with God! From them emanates a light unlike before, coming in and through them, resembling gold shining through the cracks. That is why this year’s Annual Year-End Event is titled “The Golden Thread.”

It is human nature to hold on to hope, and The Golden Thread in our tradition is the word and promise of God and his beloved Prophet ﷺ.

Please join us in the Bay Area on December 7th and in Chicago on December 15th, as we further discuss the need for all of us to hold on to The Golden Thread at this year’s 19th Annual Year-End Event.
