ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT

Social Development Department

The Social Development Department provides accessible Islamic psychosocial support to individuals, couples and families within the community.

The department offers counselling, assessment, referral and crisis-response services guided by Islamic values and professional ethics. It also facilitates marital-related services, including Talaq and Faskh processes, in line with Islamic principles and organisational procedures.

Its work strengthens family systems, promotes emotional well-being and addresses social challenges through preventative and intervention-based services. The department also oversees the training, supervision and support of lay counsellors to promote ethical, high-quality service delivery.

Through its work, the department helps individuals and families navigate personal, social and marital challenges with dignity and compassion.
