Teaching dilemmas

**salahuddin** · 15-05-2009, 03:19 PM

In discussions I've had in the past with brothers I've noticed a tension between what people want to learn and what is on offer and what is deemed crucial learning. Without wishing to open a great debate (cue great debate...) I wondered if DPers would list 5 subjects they see as crucial to the welfare & functioning of muslims and a further 3 courses they would like to see taught (or see more of). If the two lists coincide then no problem.

I should point out that for this purpose we're assuming we're dealing with those who have little or no Islamic knowledge. If you respond could you also mention where you're currently based / residing?

Thank you all!

Would it help if I said that this feedback will help decide the availability of courses, and isn't just a theoretical exercise?

No other suggestions? It's an opportunity to have an input into the types of courses to be laid on, inshallah.
