about us

“Marifah: A Path of Light, Love, and Return

Marifah is not just an organization — it’s a calling. A quiet whisper from the heart to return to the One who created it. Founded by Shykh Jamil Ahmed Sukhera, Marifah is a global path for seekers who long to awaken with sincerity, follow the way of the Prophet ﷺ, and live lives of presence, gratitude, and remembrance.

our vision

To Illuminate Hearts with the Light of Allah’s Remembrance

Our vision is to share God's love, foster spiritual growth, and serve our community with compassion and purpose.

At Marifah, we envision a world where every soul is alive with dhikr (remembrance of Allah), where hearts return to their Lord not in fear but in longing, and where homes become sanctuaries of peace and spiritual beauty. Our vision is not bound by borders — it is a movement of hearts united in love for Allah ﷻ and the Beloved Prophet Muhammadﷺ.<. We strive to create a global family of seekers, each walking the path of sincerity, sacred knowledge, and inner refinement, remembering who they are and where they are going./p>

our mission

To Revive the Prophetic Path of Love, Ihsan, and Sacred Knowledge

Our mission is to serve hearts with intention and presence by focusing on:

  • Teaching the Qur’an and Hadith through a lens of love, beauty, and reverence — making sacred knowledge accessible to all.
  • Guiding souls—both new reverts and lifelong Muslims— toward inner clarity, God-consciousness, and spiritual transformation.
  • Establishing retreats, workshops, and gatherings across continents to cultivate community, healing, and growth.
  • Building spiritual family, rooted in compassion, humility, and remembrance — not just programs, but deep connections.
  • Reviving tazkiyah (purification of the soul) in the modern world — helping people detach from distractions and draw nearer to Allah
