The Guiding Hearts program teaches the Islamic principle of
Tazkiyah —purifying the soul by eliminating negative emotions like anger and despair and cultivating patience, gratitude, and hope. Participants learn to connect their clients' emotional struggles with their spiritual journey, ensuring a more harmonious alignment between the heart ( Qalb) and divine will.
Through a focus on emotional intelligence and its impact on the heart (Qalb), counsellors will learn how to guide clients toward healing that is rooted in Qur'anic wisdom and Prophetic teachings. This knowledge not only enhances therapeutic outcomes but also strengthens the counsellor’s own connection to Islamic values, enabling them to approach their work with renewed purpose and confidence.
This module focuses on integrating Tarbiyah (moral and spiritual nurturing) with modern counselling practices to create a values-centred approach.
This module provides a practical roadmap for guiding clients through challenges as opportunities for growth, offering tools to cultivate resilience, meaning-making, and virtues like humility, patience, and compassion. It equips counsellors with the ability to address clients' struggles with cultural, societal, and spiritual pressures while maintaining a values-cantered approach.
This chapter guides into techniques of empowering clients to reframe difficulties as part of their personal development journey. They learn to align their behaviour with Islamic principles while developing emotional intelligence and spiritual strength. Through cultivating Adab (etiquette) and Akhlaq (character), clients build healthier relationships with themselves, others, and Allah.
This chapter provides a transformative framework for Muslim therapists by combining key Islamic principles like Mizan (balance), Tazkiyah (self-purification), Tarbiyah (nurturing personal growth), and Tafakkur (deep reflection).
These principles will deepen your ability to approach counselling, addressing both the psychological and spiritual needs of your clients., enhancing your ability to address all aspects of their selfhood ( Aql, Nafs, Ruh, Jizm, Qalb).
Through Tazkiyah method ,you will learn to identify and address negative emotional states such as anger, despair, and jealousy, guiding clients toward inner purification and spiritual resilience. Tarbiyah techniques will enable you to support your clients' moral and personal development, fostering virtues like compassion, patience, and gratitude to help them overcome challenges with grace. Meanwhile, Tafakkur modality equips you to inspire deep introspection in your clients, encouraging them to reflect on their life purpose and connection to Allah.
This module provides tools for understanding and addressing grief, loss, and spiritual crises through the lens of Islamic emotional and cognitive intelligence.
As a counsellor, you will understand how to recognise for your clients how anxiety manifests across the emotional (Qalb), cognitive (Aql), physical (Jism), and spiritual (Fitrah) dimensions, and learn to identify its underlying causes—whether biological, environmental, or spiritual.
As a counsellor, you will learn how to integrate approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic methods, and humanistic and existential therapies with Islamic principles like Tawakkul (trust in Allah), Tafakkur (reflection), and Tazkiyah (purification). You will see how these methods can be tailored to explore and resolve the roots of anxiety—whether they arise from cognitive distortions, unconscious conflicts, or a lack of spiritual purpose.
This session explores how anxiety can be managed through
Tafakkur - deep reflection and introspection guided by Islamic teachings.
As practitioner you will understand the roots of anxiety through approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge distorted Aql's thought patterns, Psychodynamic Therapy to uncover unconscious conflicts of Nafs , and Existential Therapy to address distorted process of meaning serching at the level of Fitrah. The module also addresses the biological, cognitive, and environmental roots of anxiety while providing practical strategies for self-improvement.
