Da'wah unit trains preachers on family jurisprudence in Islam
QNA Doha The Da'wah and Religious Guidance Department at the Ministry of Endowments (Awqaf) and Islamic Affairs has concluded a six-month intensive specialised course on family jurisprudence in Islam, with the participation of 15 Qatari preachers. The initiative aimed to develop their capabilities in addressing contemporary family-related issues. Held weekly at Imam Muhammad Bin Abdulwahhab Mosque, the course was structured around three main tracks: Sharia, educational, and skills-based, and included 44 lectures covering diverse topics such as marriage and divorce rulings, chastity education, family counselling skills, and challenges related to adolescence and cultural invasion. The programme also featured interactive presentations and modern training methods. Participants were tasked with preparing research papers addressing real family problems, enhancing their ability to offer religiously grounded and professionally informed family guidance and social consultation. The course aimed to develop the preachers' competencies across four key areas: Sharia, knowledge, skills, and administration. The department emphasised that the course reflects the ministry's commitment to promoting family stability and societal cohesion by preparing preachers capable of addressing family issues with balanced scientific methodology rooted in Islamic values and the objectives of Sharia.
