Summer Suhba

Usul Academy’s 3-week retreat in Istanbul

for our BA and MA students

Usul Academy’s Summer Suhba is the culmination of 10 months of online learning, when our students and teachers finally meet face to face, where friendships kindle and ‘ilm can flourish, all while being immersed in the aesthetic beauty of Istanbul.

  • Suhba, like no other.

  • Reviving the pursuit of 'ilm in Istanbul's traditional Madrasahs.

  • Meetings with scholars and teachers from every corner of the world.

  • Access to scholarly events and academic conferences.

  • All in the heart of Istanbul.

The Summer Suhba is mandatory for first-year and fourth year students of the BA program, and first-year students of the MA program. The face to face component is a crucial element of our curriculum based on the holistic pedagogies of ta’lim and tazkiyyah. It is where our students can build a special bond with each other and ‘ilm can come to its full fruition. Students attend classes daily in the morning, while the afternoons are reserved for tours, culturally immersive experiences, and talks with esteemed scholars and shuyukhs.
