We run day courses for masaajid covering an in-depth look at 4 key topics to support Muslim parents holistically tackle life in a hypersexualised society in which ‘LGBTQ’ identities are propagated to them.

The day course takes some of the themes addressed in the RSE awareness course (2 hours) but in more detail (7 hours). A workbook will be provided to all participants.

MODULES

1. Building Foundational Strength (75 minutes)

How do we build a conviction in the truth of Islam in our children? Certainty in Allah’s existence, conviction that the Qur’an is the word of Allah and acceptance that Allah, not man, is best positioned to define what is good and bad.

2. Nurturing Emotionally Resilience (75 minutes)

How do we ensure our children know they are loved? One of the major causes of vulnerabilities to aberrant identities is the lack of overt love by a father to his children. How do we speak love in a way our children understand. This session will go through, in detail, the five languages of love.

3. How to Understand and Respond to LGBT narratives (90 minutes)

LGBT narratives are built on certain assumptions. For example one of the major assumptions is the claim that everyone has a ‘sexual orientation’ and this identity determines behaviour in a way that compels a person to action. This assumption and the resulting labels are made up and contradict the fact that every desire is controllable and behaviour changeable.

4. How to Discuss Sex and Relationships with your Children (90 minutes)

Discussing sex and relationships with children is something we don’t do with our children. The problem is, everyone is speaking to your child but you. How can we learn from the profound interaction between the prophet salAllahu alaihi wasallam and a young man who asked for permission to commit zina, to inform the way we speak to our children?
