📝 For any queries, please send us a DM.
☝️A powerful, relevant and much-needed conversation for the uni students.
We currently live in a world of:
- Hollywood ‘happily ever after’ stories and social media couples – how do we really understand love and romance, and is it like we see in the movies?
- Rising divorce rates – what contributes to this and how can you best prepare yourself for marriage?
- Dating and hook-up culture – what’s the Islamic perspective on dating and getting to know someone for marriage?
Imam Shabbir will also share some interesting insights and stories from his experience of officiating more than 600 Nikah ceremonies in the UK and abroad. After working with hundreds of young couples and helping them to get married, he’s picked up on various trends, misconceptions and common questions which he’ll be going through.
Topics:
- The Islamic perspective on ‘love’ and the different stages of love in a marriage
- An understanding of gender interactions and gender differences in Islam
- What to consider before getting married
- How to best prepare yourself for marriage
- Western concept of dating vs Islamic concept of courting
- What questions to ask someone before you decide to marry them
- How to ensure your marriage gets off to the best possible start
Features an open and anonymous Q&A session tackling the issues we don’t tend to discuss.
