Alhamdulillah, the Tarbiyah Program was successfully conducted on 26 July 2026, bringing together young sisters for a morning of learning, reflection, and meaningful discussions.
The program began with the recitation of the Qur'an by Sis Rafiya (Associate, GIO Mogappair), followed by the welcome address by Sis Atoofa Nasiha, City President, who shared that the day's agenda was built around three important questions every young Muslim should ask herself:
Who am I?
What is my responsibility?
How do I preserve my identity?
The speakers were then formally welcomed by Sis Aafrida Zulaigha, ZAC Member, Tamil Nadu & Puducherry.
The first session, "Lessons from the Story of Luqman alayhis salam for Youth," was presented by Sis Rahila Sheriff Sahiba, Secretary, JIH Chennai Metro. The session reflected on Luqman alayhis salam's advice to his son and how young Muslims can apply his wisdom in their character, decisions, and relationship with Allah.
The second session on Da'wah and Iqamat-e-Deen was delivered by Janab I. Jalaludeen, Secretary, JIH Tamil Nadu. He spoke about the responsibility of every believer to live by Islam and convey its message through sincere effort, good character, and service to society.
The final session, "நவீன யுகத்தில் இஸ்லாமிய பெண்மை" (Femininity in Islam in the Era of Modernism), was delivered by Janab T. Azeez Luthfullah Sb, Secretary of Research and Publications, IFT, as part of the upcoming Embracing Femininity Campaign. The session reflected on the lives of remarkable women from the time of Rasulullah ﷺ and highlighted how Muslim women can preserve their feminine identity, dignity, and fitrah while living in a rapidly changing world.
The program concluded with a feedback session, announcements from the city leadership, and the Vote of Thanks delivered by Sis Aaliya Tasneem, Associate, GIO Venus.
May Allah grant us beneficial knowledge, strengthen us upon His deen, and enable us to practise what we have learned. Aameen.
