  • Recognise Qur’ānic pedagogical methods through the story of Mūsā and al-Khiḍr (ʿalayhimā al-salām).
  • Become familiar with the RUSHD teaching & learning method for building competencies beyond rote learning.
  • Identify core (FITRA) values from Sūrah al-Furqān and embed them into family culture.
  • Strengthen the ability to nurture sincere Motivation, dynamic Momentum, and faithful Morals (3M) for everyday success.
  • Develop practical weekly routines aligned with Qur’ānic tarbiyah principles.
  • Gain increased confidence in guiding children’s behaviour, learning, and character.

And [mention] when Luqman said to his son while instructing him, ‘O my dear son, do not associate anything with Allah. Indeed, association [with Him] is great injustice.’

[Surah Luqman 31: 13]

What You Will Learn

  • A Clear, Qur’an-Centred & Sunnah-Driven Definition of Tarbiyah: Participants gain a grounded understanding of tarbiyah—its purpose, its urgency in the modern world, and why it cannot simply be outsourced to schools, madrasahs, or community programmes.
  • A Simple 5F Framework for Holistic Muslim Development: Learners discover how the maqāṣid translate into a practical 5F model (Faith, Fitness, Faculty, Family, and Finance) making competency-building clear, accessible, and measurable.
  • Timeless Parenting Lessons from Luqmān (ʿalayhi al-salām): The workshop distils Luqmān’s Qur’ānic advice into practical, actionable parenting methods rooted in wisdom, connection, and character formation.
  • A Prophetic Pedagogy Blueprint from Sūrah al-Kahf: The story of Mūsā (ʿalayhi al-salām) and al-Khiḍr (ʿalayhi al-salām) reveals a powerful educational model built on humility, sequencing, patience, and guided experience.
  • The RUSHD Model: Beyond Rote Learning: Participants learn a Qur’ānic process for cultivating rushd (sound judgment) based on Qur’ān 2:151–153 (the prophetic JD)—linking five competencies (resolve, understanding, skills, habits, and discernment) to tarbiyah.
  • Values-Based Education from Sūrah al-Furqān: The workshop highlights character traits from the ʿIbād al-Raḥmān passage (25:63–74), offering a ready-made values-framework (FITRA) to build family culture and community ethos.
