Experience your deen outdoors!

I get to combine my master’s degree in Islamic Studies with my Maryland master naturalist certification to get Muslims outdoors engaging with the ayah of Allah in the natural world and connect with the ayah of Allah in the Quran.

Help me get my 40 volunteer service hours! If you’re interested in bringing one of my free small group workshops to a masjid or green space near you in the DMV, DM me or email kori@greenramadan.com

What is a master naturalist?

A master naturalist is a certified volunteer who has completed classroom instruction and hands-on experience outdoors, and then commits to put that knowledge to use in their region through volunteer service every year, along with additional advanced training. There are master naturalist programs all over the US.

In Maryland, we have to do 52 hours of classroom instruction, 8 hours of hands-on experience outdoors, followed by 40 hours of volunteer service every year and a minimum of 8 hours of advanced training.

Over 2021 & 2022, I did the master naturalist program with the Anacostia Watershed Society which focused on the plants and animals of the Anacostia River Watershed, how human activity has impacted the Anacostia River over time, and the art of teaching others about the natural environment.

Whether you celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday in the US,
or just use this time off to kick it with family,
or spend the day hiking within natural wonders,
or do the Thursday sunnah fast,
or intentionally do not celebrate this day while acknowledging the g3n0c!d3 perpetuated to create the US,
or if you’re working today,
remember that, in every situation, part of gratitude to God is thanking the people in your life.

I thank my husband.
I thank my children.
I thank my parents.
I thank my sisters.
I thank my friends.
I thank my neighbors.
I thank my masjid community.
I thank my teachers.
I thank my shaykh.
I thank the Nacotchtank who stewarded this land I live on.
I thank the people who work in grocery stores on holidays.
I thank you.
I thank Muhammad ﷺ.
I thank Allah.
