From Absence To Presence

Tahirah Hussain is leading a women-only seminar at The U-Mix Centre on Saturday 5 December, titled From Absence To Presence. It runs from 11 am to 2 pm, with doors opening at 10:45 am, so you've got a bit of time to settle in before things get started.

The whole session works through the theme 'From Heaviness to Hope: Finding Comfort Through Surah Ad-Duha', and it's built around healing from grief and trauma. The focus is on Surah Ad-Duha, and the session looks at how Allah reassures people in those moments of sadness, uncertainty and emotional exhaustion that can come with loss. It's about finding a way to turn to Him with your worries, your fears, your needs and your hopes, and seeing how that can help when things feel heavy.

It's a three-hour session, so there's plenty of time to sit with the ideas rather than rushing through them. It's recommended for ages 12 and over, and as a women-only space, it's set up for you to come as you are and take your time with it. If you've been carrying something and want a quiet, supportive space to work through it, this is exactly that.

The U-Mix Centre is at 17 Asline Road, Lowfield, Sheffield, S2 4UJ. The seminar is free, and it runs from 11 am to 2 pm on Saturday 5 December, with doors open from 10:45 am.
