Module 5

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Module 5 is the Haya (modesty) and Hijab module.

This module covers every popular misconception, media hype and blatant propaganda about the Islamic concept of modesty and rulings of the Islamic dress code. It presents a comprehensive discussion on these topics with evidence from the Quran (Surah AnNur and Surah Al Ahzab) and ahadith.

The module includes a detailed account of the history of the shaytan and the tactics he employs to distract human beings from Allah (SWT)’s and the Prophet (PBUHh)’s way.

Several lessons discuss Jannah (Heaven) and Jahannum (Hell) with the framework of du’a “Rabbanaaatina fid duniyahasanah…” because many Muslims today are confused about the physical reality of these final destinations and are taken in by shaytan and his supporters in undermining the fabric of Islamic ethos – Haya.

Personal development category covers “Anger Management”, “Volunteering” and “Honouring Commitments”.
