What is the course “An Islamic guide to women's role in the family”?
The prevalent feminist values and views about the rights and roles of a woman which are portrayed in the media have changed everyone’s mindset of family and gender roles. At the same time, a Muslim family has been depicted as a place where there is a patriarch who orders his passive and oppressed wife around the house and can treat her however he wishes.
In this course, we try to explain how a Muslim woman is seen in the Islamic teachings and what is expected of her in the family.
We will also talk about the steps a man is allowed to take in case of his wife’s misconduct to prevent his family from falling apart and turn cold and spiritless.

Requirement
We suggest that before enrolling in this course, you have completed these two courses:
- Basics of Family in the Quran
- An Islamic guide to man’s role in the family
Why is this course a must for every couple?
When you ask a Muslim, what is the first role a woman should take up in her family, often the answer is mothering. But that is not true. A woman’s relationship with her husband is the number one priority in her married life which guarantees her success in the fulfilment of her other roles.
This course is a must for every couple because of the following points:
- We talk about the four roles a woman can take up in her family and their priorities in her life.
- We also explain how a virtuous woman is seen by the Quran as a trustable and loving life companion.
- Women's employment is another topic we have dealt with.
- Times of challenge in the family when the man is acting responsibly, yet his wife shows misconduct have also been mentioned. Here we offer the solutions propounded by the Quran to take the family back to the shore of safety and peace.
