Family Matters

🎯 Course Objectives:

The family is the foundation of civilization — and Islam has a detailed and beautiful vision for it. This course explores what Islam says about the family from multiple angles: the purpose and nature of Islamic marriage, rights and responsibilities of spouses, parenting in the Islamic tradition, family roles and dynamics, and the distinct rulings and practices that define a God-conscious household. Drawing on Qur’anic verses, hadith, and classical fiqh, students will gain clarity and confidence in navigating family life according to Islamic principles. Open to married and unmarried students alike. Available in person at IIT and online.
