Course Overview

Families today exist in many forms, single-parent homes, extended households, blended families, and beyond. Just as we embrace cultural and ethnic diversity, it is equally important to appreciate the diversity of family structures. The Qur’an presents us with timeless guidance through the lives of the Prophets, whose families faced unique trials yet remained anchored in faith, resilience, and strong bonds.

In this course, we will step into the homes of the Prophets to uncover powerful lessons on healthy parenting, nurturing spousal relationships, and fostering justice among siblings. From the fatherhood of Ibrahim (AS) and the parenting of Ya‘qub (AS) to the unwavering trust of Umm Musa (AS), each story reveals principles that guide us in navigating the challenges of modern family life with prophetic wisdom.

By the end of the course, students will:

• Gain insight into the family dynamics of the Prophets as presented in the Qur’an.

• Learn practical strategies for building resilient, compassionate, and faith-centred families.

• Understand how to approach challenges in parenting, marriage, and sibling relations with prophetic guidance.

This course is an inspiring journey for parents, spouses, and anyone seeking to nurture a family life grounded in the wisdom of revelation and the example of the Prophets.
