"Engaging Holistically with the Quran: Reviving Moral Beauty (Ihsan) in Faith Education to Cultivate Compassion, Resilience and Well-Being”
with Dr. Raghad Ebied
Saturday, November 15
11:00 am - 12:15 pm EST
Online Workshop
|
This session seeks to reawaken the heart of Faith Education by inviting educators, school leaders, and community members to explore how to encourage holistic engagement with the Qur’an in their schools and communities through Tadabbur (reflective contemplation), Tazkiyah (spiritual purification), and Tarbiyah (holistic moral and ethical development). Participants will reflect on ways to foster Ihsan (moral beauty) in order to cultivate environments of compassion, resilience, and well-being. Rooted in Divine Love, Prophetic guidance, and contemporary educational insights, this session offers a practical approach for the Qur’an, drawing on the heart and mind, to inspire positive transformation in teaching, leadership, and community life.
