Nasfat Youth Wing Holds Dawah Training for her Head of Dawah (HODs)

It was mindblowing and impactful days as testified by participants at the just concluded 3 days Dawah Advancement Programme (DAP) for Nasfat Youth Wing Head of Dawah (HODs) on Shariah Intelligence.

The Train-the-Trainers Course (TTC) on clarifying the misconceptions about women in Islam was held between 3^rd - 5th of August, 2018 (21st - 23rd of Dhul Qadah, 1439 A.H) at NASFAT Mosque, Coca cola, Mokola, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria facilitated by Malam Ibrahim Bello and Sheikh Junaid Yunus, members of Islamic Education Trust (IET) Minna.

Other facilitators are Sheikh Mahruf AbdulAzeez Onike (Chief Missioner, Nasfat Worldwide) and Ustaz Saheed Adekunle (Memebr, Nasfat Headquarter Mission Board).

One of the major discussions was centred on Shariah Intelligence (the basic principles and objectives of Islamic Jurisprudence) which is an introduction to USULUL FIQHI and MOQOSID SHARIAH. It was clarified that misunderstandings about Islam are not just among non-Muslims communities but also within the Muslim Ummah. One of the greatest challenges to gaining a better understanding of Islam is the lack of understanding about fundamental inductive of Shariah and the tools of juristic reasoning of Ijtihad.

Many young Muslims are not connected to competent traditional trained local scholars, and many of these scholars do not or cannot join the online discussion of the "Cyber Ummah". As a result, searches on "Sheikh Google" and "Mufti YouTube" quickly issue answers on behalf of Islam, including answers developed by Islamophobes, with no concern for the context of the questioners or persons concerned, the answers that are learned by Muslims and non-Muslims using these means have resulted in disturbing misunderstanding and gross distortions of Islam teachings, values and principles.

According to one of the participants; Ustaz Saleem AbdulWahab (Albayany) a member of Waleemah team;

“I can't appreciate Allah enough for giving the opportunity to take part in this just concluded Dawah Programme, I believe anyone that has today to be the same with yesterday is a loser, without doubt today is better than my yesterday because I have gained a lot in the Programme. Also appreciate the brain behind my sponsorship to the Programme Nasfat Youth wing, Shibiri Ekunpa Branch, Ojo Lagos, Jazakumullahu khairan.”

Malam Ibrahim Bello and Sheikh Junaid Yunus took the participants on "Misconceptions about women in Islam" base on Sheriah Intelligence.

While Sheikh Mahruf AbdulAzeez Onike, The Chief Missioner handled "New concept and frontiers in Dawah work". Ustaz Saheed Adekunle handled interactive session and group Presentation.
