Kuala Lumpur.All are invited.

Synopsis of the Talk
Muslim families are living in a time where values tend to be turning upside down, and family life as the very heart of society is being attacked just as much as many other traditions. Almost everything around us today tends to minimize positive family values and principles.

Our families are a part of an increasingly immoral society; they have been attacked and polluted as well – whether we like it or not. Even though our values and principles may have helped us to resist these changes, like others in our society, we are still vulnerable to the negative influences around us.

Those weak in their Islamic practice and those lacking wisdom and judgment are
particularly likely to succumb to the today's mental poisoning. This lecture will examine the role of Islamic spirituality in overcoming the challenges, and how it can help in building a strong and resilient Muslim family in the modern world.
