Fostering Growth and Unity in our Community

More info
The Soweto Family Support Initiative
The Soweto Family Support Initiative is a program by the Soweto Muslim Shurah Council aimed at strengthening Muslim families. The initiative began with a series of consultations and two key events: a men's-only program on March 9th and a well-attended women's-only program on May 11th. The purpose of these initial sessions was to create a safe space for family members to discuss and address challenges

About The Program

Goal

This program is a consolidation of those initial efforts, with the goal of getting community buy-in and moving forward together. The organization has engaged with several external stakeholders, including the Islamic Family Court (IFC), the Independent Islamic Court (IIC), and Islamic Careline, to establish relationships and access training.

Why us

Offering A Range Of Services

The initiative proposes to offer a range of services, including:

  • Pre-marital classes and marriage counseling
  • Mediation and arbitration
  • Talaqs and marriage annulments
  • Estate planning and inheritance
  • Post-marital support and social welfare
Pre-Marital Classes

We offer guidance to couples preparing for marriage and provide support to those already married to help them navigate challenges and strengthen their relationship.

Post-marital support & social welfare

Life after marriage can be challenging. We provide ongoing support for individuals and families, connecting them with resources and assistance for their emotional and social well-being.

Talaqs & marriage annulments

Ending a marriage is a difficult time. We offer compassionate support and guidance throughout the process, ensuring it's handled with care and dignity according to Islamic principles.

Estate planning & inheritance

This service helps you plan for the future. We provide guidance on how to manage your assets and ensure your legacy is handled correctly for your family, in line with Islamic law.

United in Purpose, Guided by Faith

We do not have it all figured out, and we are reaching out to the community for buy-in and further input. We believe that with better commitment, a willingness to make sacrifices, and a strong sense of community, we can achieve great things, as “the hand of Allah is with the jama’a”.
