Course Overview

The course will provide an in-depth analysis of chaplaincy, spiritual advice from an Islamic perspective by enriching learners with a clear understanding of the core principles and practices of chaplaincy from an Islamic perspective. The live teaching sessions will enable them to understand and engage with broader cultural, sociological and political issues surrounding chaplaincy for Muslims in the contemporary world.

The course will prepare them to deal with spiritual distress, situated in various contexts such as Prisons, universities, rehab centres, and hospitals. Highlighting the key aspects of spiritual development from the perspective of Islam, the course will cover multiple areas of Muslim chaplaincy such as Prison Chaplaincy, Hospital Chaplaincy, Education Chaplaincy and Mosque Chaplaincy. This enables you to provide personal and spiritual advice and care in different situations and multicultural contexts.

This course will help you examine the extent to which these principles of Muslim chaplaincy will find a place in the context of contemporary advanced spiritual care for imprisoned medical patients, students, women and Muslims living in a multicultural environment.

The course will enlighten on the topics such as Grief & Bereavement Counselling, Crisis Counselling, Stress Management, Essential Counselling Skills including CBT (Cognitive behavioural therapy), communication & listening skills and empathy; and Understanding Addiction Behaviour (Addiction Counselling), Understanding of Thought Patterns, Negative Thinking and the Role of a Chaplain in Prisons, Universities and the NHS, UK.

It explores key aspects related to Muslim chaplaincy, with a practical and deep understanding of it in Islam. It will strengthen you with the skills required to address the present-day chaplaincy challenges in the West, such as cultural sensitivities of ethnic minorities in the UK, social issues faced by Muslim living in the Western countries and multicultural societies.

The course will also provide a grasp of interfaith relations in a multicultural society, women and marital issues and an understanding of thought patterns, negative thinking, including a study of addiction behaviour.

The course will develop essential skills related to case management, including spiritual care assessment of patients' needs, and provision of care and analysing the impact of social factors on them.
