Islamic Circles Presents:

SOCIAL & PSYCHOLOGICAL ISSUES IN MUSLIM COMMUNITY

with Sr Safiyyah Sultana (Sakinah Counselling)

Date: Sunday 23rd October 2005
Time: 11am - 1pm
Venue: Froud Centre, 1 Toronto Avenue, off Romford Road, Manor Park,
London, E12 5JF

It is He who sent down Sakinah (calmness and tranquillity) into the
hearts of the believers, that they may grow more in faith along with
their present faith. And to Allah belong the hosts of the heavens
and the earth, and Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise. (Al-Fath: 4)

Despite all the Islamic activism, social and psychological problems
in the community are ever increasing and very few organisations are
addressing these issues head on. Just saying that "by following the
Quran and the Sunnah everything will be all okay" is great but what
do we do when the very people who make such statements have these
problems and more?

Sakinah is one such organisation providing a counselling service,
helpline, workshops and seminars for all sexes and age groups.
Some of the problems they deal with include bullying, relationship
difficulties, depression, homosexuality, rape and sexual abuse.

If you are desperately seeking help but want someone who will be
sensitive to your religious values, know of someone who may need
help or advice, or to find our more about this organisation in
terms of how you can help and get involved, please join us this
Sunday. All welcome. Free entry. Please donate generously towards
this vital cause.
