The Ministry of Endowments (Awqaf) and Islamic Affairs, represented by the Department of Da'wah and Religious Guidance, continues the family educational course entitled 'The Family in Islam', which targets Qatari male and female preachers in implementing advocacy programmes. The educational module is a shariah rooting one and aims at correcting concepts, enriching family knowledge.
It also aims to develop the skills of male and female preachers in the fields of da'wah, especially in family-oriented programmes, to contribute to increasing the shariah awareness about family issues in Islam. It is aimed at preparing an educational cadre of male and female preachers, training them to respond to suspicions and face cultural challenges, and rooting family and educational theories.
Around 50 Qatari preachers, men and women, participated in the programme, which started early last week and lasts for six months to end in April of next year in coincidence with the Qatari Family Day. The course is held four days a month, where one meeting is held per week, alternately (two for male preachers and two for female preachers). With regard to this programme, the Director of the Department of Da'wah and Religious Guidance Mal Allah Abdul Rahman al-Jaber stressed the department's keenness to spread Islamic values among segments of society with purposeful and useful topics, and in an easy and simplified manner in accordance with the strategy drawn up by the ministry to achieve the goal of effective contribution to building a strong, cohesive and constructive Qatari family, and to build a generation that is proud of its country and serves its community.
