Take action in teaching traditions (of Ahlul-Bayt) to your children before the corrupted persons precede in corrupting them
Imam Jaffer As-Sadiq, a.s.
We live in an era of where marital break-ups are common. Many of our younger community members say they are finding it increasingly difficult to find suitable marriage partners.
We live in an age where children are exposed to all kinds of behaviours from the media and their local environment. We must work to strengthen our families. We must address these critical issues and not shy away from them.
By 2012 I pledge to ...
- • Create programmes to address pre-marriage, marriage, divorce and widowhood.
- • Strengthen systems for marital introductions, with particular focus on remote communities.
- • Create more parenting programmes.
- • Train counsellors to help prevent divorce.
- • Provide support for the bereaved.
- • Champion the rights of the disabled.
- • Promote the idea of disabled facilities in all our centres.
- • Support widows and single parent families wherever possible.
