Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – We Need More Counsellors

So in this, unfortunately, in this time and age, despite all of the

amenities and the facilities and the progress and advancements,

technological, scientific, industrial, everything, it's made

life a lot more complex than with the fashion industry. I mean, one

in four teenage girls has a mental health problem. That's, that's

what the articles tell you standard one in four because of

what they need to look like, or what they should look like, etc.

It's a massive mental health problem, massive mental wrong,

sometimes it's a clinical issue, which is very difficult to get rid

of just by just by doing vicar, because it's not related. It's a,

it's a

chemical imbalance in the brain, for example, hormonal issues and

so on. But other times it is that so that's why we need a lot more

healthcare professionals that are Muslim, that understand this, that

understand the culture that understand the religion, so that

they can provide some benefit through that. So I would encourage

that that's a really important field for people to go into,

rather than just some random field that they go into. Right? A lot of

our young people, they go to university, because they think

everybody has to what to get away from home, and they take on some

random courses. And we're going to do anything with it afterwards. So

at least do something useful and beneficial. So now, I think

counseling is a massive need of the day, counseling, mental

health, social work, these kinds of things are really, really

needed. Right. So encourage yourselves encourage others who

are at that point, to take on some of this, some of these

disciplines.

The point of a lecture, is to encourage people to act to get

further an inspiration, and encouragement, persuasion. The

next step is to actually start learning seriously, to read books

to take on a subject of Islam and to understand all the subjects of

Islam at least at the basic level, so that we can become more aware

of what our Dean wants from us. And that's why we started Rayyan

courses, so that you can actually take organize lectures on demand

whenever you have free time, especially for example, the

Islamic essentials course that we have on there, the Islamic

essentials certificate, which you take 20 Short modules, and at the

end of that insha Allah you will have gotten the basics of most of

the most important topics in Islam and you'll feel a lot more

confident. You don't have to leave lectures behind you can continue

to live, you know to listen to lectures, but you need to have

this more sustained study as well as Aquila harem Salam Alaikum
