Training the Trainers: A Hands-On Workshop for Teaching Tawheed Effectively

   بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم



A couple of years ago, Ustadh Mustafa George invited me to deliver a workshop for the educators in the New Jersey community on how to teach children Tawheed. His vision was to have me train fellow educators in using the Nurture Islaam books, starting with the most important topic: Tawheed. May Allaah reward him immensely for this initiative.

By the mercy of Allaah, we delivered our first-ever workshop on teaching Tawheed at the Ibn Qayyim Library, and it was a wonderful success. The sisters in New Jersey were truly inspiring with their interactive participation, Allaahumma baarik. Following that, many sisters reached out and asked if the same training could be offered online so others could benefit too.

Alhamdulillaah, I’m now pleased to announce that you can join this workshop online and benefit just as they did!

About the Course: Teaching Tawheed in Today’s World
In a world full of screens, cartoons, and constant entertainment, keeping children, and even teenagers engaged is a growing challenge. This is especially true when teaching something as deep and vital as Islamic Aqeedah.

So how do we make Tawheed engaging and meaningful without compromising on Islamic values?
