Islamic Ethics
This course is intended to be an introduction to the general ethical theories that have been constructed by Muslim scholars over the centuries. To this end, we will have a number of readings from Muslim mystics, philosophers, and theologians to familiarize ourselves with the major trends, texts, and concerns of Islamic ethics. We will explore the interplay between the domains of theology, law, and ethics. We will also consider some avenues through which Islamic ethics can be read in comparison with other religious traditions.
Theories and Practices of Spiritual Care
In this course, we consider the interrelationship of spirituality with care and counseling, focusing on how caregivers can respond to needs, traumas, and growth characterized as spiritual. We will analyze past and current theories of counseling and care, integrate Islamic religious concepts into care and counseling best practices, and evaluate case studies and scenarios in which spiritual care is a prominent feature.
Self-Development and Self-Care
This course will examine the theory, practice, and importance of self-care and self-development while being a spiritual leader, which may be one of the most neglected parts of the profession or service. This course cultivates practices for self-assessment, self-renewal and development, and self-care. Deepening of self-awareness is a critical component for effective work as clergy/chaplains/religious leaders. It will also explore the ways in which leaders must engage in a process of critical and radical self-reflection in order to recognize one’s strengths and limitations when it comes to community engagement and healing. Participants will engage with tools to look at their lives with a stronger sense of inner peace, confidence, and positivity. Students will learn how to survive and heal from traumatic events, train themselves to keep the multiple circles of wellness fulfilled, have better control of their emotions and facilitate better interpersonal relationships with friends, families, and those that they lead. Additionally, this course will teach students how to overcome their fears and lead their communities through an authentic lens.
Counseling Muslim Youth
This course introduces students to child and adolescent mental health concepts focusing on developmental psychology, clinical symptoms, evaluation, and treatment issues. The course provides instruction in conducting diagnostic interviews and basic therapeutic techniques. The course also provides guided discussion of general approaches to mental health treatment, specifically in the context of Muslim youth, and including some issues relevant to Muslims in emerging adulthood and older stages of life.
