Zawia Ebrahim is a sanctuary for those in crisis or in search of guidance on the spiritual path. Open to both men and women, the Zawia welcomes anyone in need, offering free food and accommodation for as long as they choose to stay — provided they take part in the daily practices that form the core of life at the Zawia:

• Five daily prayers in Jamaat (congregation) in the Majlis

• Afternoon qasida singing and Wird

• Saturday Dhikr – Residents also take responsibility for hosting guests who attend the Dhikr, including preparing meals, arranging accommodation, and maintaining cleanliness of the premises.

Legally registered as a Trust, Zawia Ebrahim operates on an average monthly cost of ZAR 60,000 (USD 3,760). These expenses cover ground staff salaries, food, utilities, maintenance, and overall care and support of our residents.
