The sessions will be run by experienced and practicing Muslim counsellors, and both brothers and sisters will be available. We hope to offer a confidential and professional service to all Muslims with concerns ranging from personal, social, family or academic worries to longer term, often more complex, psychological problems. Attendees will benefit from a one-to-one service. We will also be joined by the Muslim Mediation Service* who will be offering one-to-one drop in sessions with a Muslim Mediator, where you can discuss any matters arising from any conflicts you are experiencing within the home or the community free of charge. *The Muslim Mediation Service has been resolving family and community conflicts since 2003. Their trained and experienced Mediators have been supporting individuals, parents and children and couples facing disputes by working with them to resolve their issues through listening, understanding and communicating effectively. Please note that the initial session will be free and if the person requires further help then they would need to contact alternative services or the individual counsellors themselves. All are welcome.

No man or woman really knows what perfect love is until they have been married a quarter of a century."[Mark Twain] Nurture that love and build a blessed marriage by learning all you need to know about its rules and regulations with AlKauthar's knockout course: The A-Z of Love and Mercy! The quest to spend our life with a special someone is a journey every one of us aspires to embark on. It is precisely for this reason that the Shariah has clarified to us so many of its principles and mannerism so that we may lead a blessed happy life with our true soul mate. Without this knowledge, marriage is devoid of the of Islam. Similarly, to ensure that the Islamic brotherhood and sisterhood is preserved, the Shariah set down clear guidelines on the Prophetic etiquettes and rulings of divorce. Despite divorce being so rampant these days, most people hardly know anything about it. Course content includes: The importance of learning about Marriage and divorce All about the rulings of Islam pertaining to the marriage contract, its conditions and invalidators Modern methods and types of marriage and their rulings in Islam Clear understanding about the rulings of illegal marriage, zina and their consequences Discussion of all the rulings pertaining to the islamic manner of divorce and annulment (khula') Clear and detailed understanding of the aftermath of divorce such as child custody laws in Islam Who is this course for? Every Muslim trying to understand his or her deen whether they be married, looking to get married or looking to learn about its rulings. Teachers who may not have a solid background in the Islamic sciences. Marriage celebrants who need to understand the Islamic rulings of marriage and divorce. Anyone who want to have a deeper insight into understanding islamic family law. University students or High school seniors involved in calling to this religion. New Muslims who want to understand their Deen.

Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.} (Holy Quran-16:125) {And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33) The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim] The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
