Our identity has a MASSIVE impact on how we live our lives, the choices we make for ourselves and how we feel inside and out.
In today's digital, global and eternally connected world, finding your identity, recognising your unique attributes and having the confidence to make the choices that are right for you, has never been harder.
Life is a series of choices and the consequences of those choices. Tests and trials befall every one of us. We sometimes win and sometimes fall. It is our inner strength, our identity and our conviction that drives the choices we make.
Through this course, students will learn exactly how uniquely and perfectly they have been created, how blessed and rich their individual identities are, the gems that are so personal and so powerful to them.
This course shows us that having a strong Islamic identity is what unites us as an ummah, strengthens us and gives us a place of belonging and refuge and yet it by no means shackles us to all be the same. Our deen has come to perfect our characters so we can live and prosper both in this life and the next. Staying true to ourselves, being our personal best, both belonging and standing independent and confident.
Knowing who we are and what we stand for, makes it so much easier to navigate through an ever changing world.
For, as someone once said, “if you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything”.
