Course Description:
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ tells us that on the Day of Judgment, "You will be with those whom you love," (Sahih Bukhari).
Love has such a pivotal and honored place in our faith, our connections and relationships, and it greatly defines the quality of our lives. Everyone talks about it, yearns for it, and seeks it out. But do we love with real love? What is love actually? How do we love the best? As in everything else, the best role model for a Muslim is Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
In this course, through the theory of love languages, learn how honored and loved those around him truly were. Immerse yourself into the examples of his gentleness and care and learn how to apply his example in your own life. Our world needs it.
