What Previous Fitrah Reset Students Have Said:

“I had the privilege of joining Dr. Marwa’s Fitrah Reset Retreat & Umrah in December 2024 / January 2025.  It was a deeply insightful experience where we were nourished with the essence of her “Heart Over Mind & Ego” (HOME) Method. What did I enjoy most? A powerful realization: we have lost our reverence for what is sacred. But what is sacred?  Is it just the mosques—Makkah, Madinah, Al-Aqsa? No.  As we sat in Dr. Marwa’s lessons, we were taught to honour the sacredness of that moment of remembering Allah.  If you have ever attended her lessons—virtually or in person—you will notice her constant reminder to bring your heart and be intentional. It may seem trivial, but it means a lot. It makes you realise how easy it is to live like a zombie, a robot, operating on autopilot—disconnected from your fitrah, which should actually be your inner compass. The guided Umrah experience with Dr. Marwa was especially helpful. She walked us through each rite, gently reminding us of the relevant supplications at every stage.”

 “This past winter, I had the incredible blessing of attending the Fitrah Reset Retreat & Umrah with the H.O.M.E. Institute led by Dr. Marwa Assar, and I can truly say it was a life-changing experience. Dr. Marwa guided us not just logistically, but spiritually and emotionally. Her ability to weave reflection, self-development, and connection to Allah into every step of our trip made this more than a pilgrimage. It was a deep spiritual transformation, Alhamdulilah. Her presence and heartfelt reminders helped me see the rituals of Umrah through a lens of meaning, love, and inner awakening. Our group became like a family, held together by shared purpose and the warmth of sincere companionship. I truly miss each and every one of my Fitrah Reset Umrah sisters! I returned not only with beautiful memories of the most sacred land but with a renewed heart, clearer intentions, and a stronger connection to my faith and to myself. Alhamdulilah, it is a journey I will treasure for the rest of my life. May Allah grant us many more blessed returns and reward Dr. Marwa and the H.O.M.E. Institute for their efforts and dedication!”

 “A great highlight was the regular dhikr reminders from Dr. Marwa—emphasising Istighfar and Salawat, and the importance of increasing them in those sacred places. In these challenging times, both personally and as an Ummah, dhikr unites us. Let us not forget: even the purpose of prayer is to remember Allah—not merely to perform mechanical movements and “get it done. We need to slow down. We need to act with intention. We need to be forbearing with one another—so that we may live together in peace, seeking the reward from our Creator.  I highly recommend Dr. Marwa’s retreat programs, and in shaa Allah, I hope to join more of them in the future.”
