Its back – Invest in your marriage

Preparing the Self Before the Spouse

Marriage is one of the most important journeys a Muslim can embark on—but finding the right partner begins with understanding yourself first. This therapist-led course blends therapeutic insights with Islamic principles to support Muslim singles in cultivating clarity, emotional readiness, and spiritual alignment in the path to marriage.

Over six weeks, you’ll be guided through a personal and relational transformation—reflecting on identity, healing past patterns, building emotional awareness, and envisioning a marriage rooted in love, purpose, and tawakkul. Each session includes interactive discussion, reflective exercises, and practical tools to support you in making empowered decisions with trust in Allah.
