Faith in Tough Times: Lessons from the Life of Job and Chants to Integrate Them
When life brings hardship—whether personal struggles or collective challenges—we can feel disoriented, weary, or even abandoned. Yet across the spiritual traditions, the story of Job (Ayyub, peace be upon him) reminds us that resilience, patience, and faith are always pathways back into the heart of the Divine.
This two-part course explores timeless lessons from Job’s life through the lens of Sufi wisdom, paired with contemplative chanting to help integrate these teachings into body, heart, and spirit. Together, we will reflect on themes of surrender, patience, generosity, trust, and Divine love—learning how to return to God in all circumstances and to see both hardship and ease as invitations into deeper intimacy with the Beloved.
Each session weaves together:
Readings from The Stories of the Prophets by Sidi Shaykh Muhammad al-Jamal
Qur’anic verses and sayings across traditions that illuminate Job’s journey
Guided chanting practices (dhikr) to embody the lessons and cultivate presence
Space for reflection, silence, and optional sharing
The course also offers interspiritual equivalents to the Sufi chants—drawing from Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, and spiritual-but-not-religious practices—so participants from all backgrounds can engage meaningfully.
Whether you seek healing, grounding, or renewed strength, Faith in Tough Times invites you to rest in the ocean of God’s mercy and love, and to embody a faith that can carry you through every season of life.
