Why is this course a must for every couple?
Do you wonder whether there is an Islamic solution to the scope of instability that families experience nowadays? Do you know if Islam has its own gender system? Does the Quran have a program for spouses and parents to lead a happy life and to overcome the challenges in their family?
We are living at a time when families are falling apart and crumbling. Social, economic, and cultural changes have altered gender roles for men and women; therefore, many young people choose not to get married and a considerable percentage of those who do get married, end up with a divorce.
You can find the answer to these questions, as well as many ethical and legal tips that are required for a prosperous family, in the lessons of “Basics of Family in the Quran”.
What is the course “Basics of family in the Quran”?
We normally learn and prepare before starting anything; even if it is something like cooking, meeting up with friends, or taking a vacation, or a greater decision like finding a new job or dealing with new colleagues. But when it comes to marriage, somehow, we jump right in without considering the skills we have to learn first.
Why is it that few of us realize the importance of being prepared for one’s spousal relationship? Islam4u.pro has prepared a set of five courses to equip you on your journey of life with your spouse:
2. Basics of Family in the Quran
3.An Islamic guide to man’s role in the family
4. An Islamic guide to woman’s role in the family
5. Empowering your family.
“Basics of Family in the Quran” is the introduction to all other four courses. It explains Islam’s position on the status of men and women, the roles they are to take in their family, and the reasons why.
