Does achieving a healthy and stable marriage feel impossible?

The struggle to communicate effectively creates tension and conflict.

Trust issues make couples drift apart and feel emotionally disconnected.

The lack of love and intimacy affects all other areas of life.

The stress of financial problems takes its toll on relationships.

Extended family bias toward their family members causes conflicts.

Differences in religiosity and culture lead to misunderstandings.

The Islamic Council can help

We focus on supporting you to overcome marital challenges and build a stronger foundation—no matter how insurmountable your problems seem

Most of the time, the disagreement between couples occurs due to lack of correct Islamic knowledge and IC is the best organisation in this respect.

“I wanted to thank all of you for your help and support in the difficult marital issues that had arisen between me and my wife. Jazakallah khair for all your advice.”

“Many thanks for arranging our session last week. My husband and I both found it extremely helpful and would like to book in for a few more sessions.”

Many come to us feeling like they’ve tried everything, but usually they have not evaluated their problems well enough or have not been disciplined to make the necessary changes
