The Tayba Residency

A Neighborly Residence in the City of Light

The Invitation

"For those seeking to truly live the rhythm of the 'Enlightened City.' This is our most in-depth offering, where shared living, character refinement (Adab), and rigorous study of the Sira meet. We move beyond the tour and into a neighborly residence, exploring the historical and spiritual layers of Madinah with the whole self."

The Heart of the Residency

Dwelling in the Presence

At its core, this residency is an invitation to live in the company of the Prophet . We spend a month immersed in the Wellspring of Love and Mercy that defines his city—his home and his resting place. By dwelling as neighbors to the Messenger , we allow the tranquility and bounty of Madinah to settle into our hearts, moving from a hurried visit to a deep, unhurried 'soaking' in the Prophetic presence.

Landscape & Metaphor

Examining the desert, the palm, and the stars as the original 'vocabulary' of the Revelation.

Offering tools to appreciate the nuance and wisdom of the Prophet’s speech.

Civilizational Context

Gaining insight into the social structures of the Seventh-Century Hijaz to see the history more holistically.

The Shared Life

Practice & Refinement

Character is not merely studied; it is lived in the company of others. We provide a supportive, neighborly environment where the refinement of character (Adab) moves from a concept into a daily practice.

The Rhythm of Khidmah (Service)

Engaging in shared responsibilities within our cohort to practice humility, patience, and care for one’s neighbor.

Collaborative Growth

Learning from each other's insights in a space of mutual reflection and companionship (Suhba).

Greater Community Connection

Partnering with local Madinan organizations to contribute to the well-being of the city and its visitors.

The Lived Sunnah

Engaging the Whole Self

The Sunnah is a holistic orientation toward the Divine. The Residency engages the physical and spiritual self to help ingrain new, sustainable habits over our four-week journey.

Sunnah Sports

Opportunities for archery, horse riding, and swimming to connect with the Prophetic model of wellness.

The Makkah Cycle:

Two journeys to Makkah to maintain the sacred balance between the Majesty (Jalal) of the House and the Beauty (Jamal) of the Prophet’s City.

The 21-Day Threshold

Utilizing our month-long duration to move beyond the time necessary to break old habits and begin integrating these "pieces" of the Sunnah into our natural daily lives.
