Theme

At the Annual Peace & Unity Convention last year, 1Ummah’s Strategy Unit administered a survey to participants in order to assess the needs of the Ummah and the impact of the convention. Based on the findings from the survey it became clear the Ummah is desperately in need of assistance with maintaining the family unit. There were overwhelming requests for family-related topics including marriage, the upbringing of children, polygamy, and divorce. The number of marriage questions asked during the Q&A sessions also reflected this.

In order to meet this rudimentary need of the Ummah, the theme for this year’s convention is

 

 “REJUVENATING THE CONTEMPORARY MUSLIM FAMILY”.

ABOUT PEACE AND UNITY CONVENTION 2017

The convention will look at what it takes to build and maintain a contemporary Muslim family, – and by extension, Ummah –  by considering the journey of building a Muslim Family along a spectrum, starting from the individual and culminating with the complex family unit facing diverse challenges and needs across different stages of its development.

1Ummah has also meticulously sought out scholars and resource persons who maintain a track record of dealing with family issues to lead the conversations during the Public Lectures, the Breakout Sessions, the Teen Session, as well as the Q&A Sessions

The Peace and Unity Convention 2016 aims:

  1. To provide true knowledge and better understanding of Islam.
  2. Discuss rehabilitation and integration of the Ummah after the fight against Boko Haram.
  3. Highlight the need for the right approach to conflict management in current times.
  4. Highlight individual responsibilities of Muslims towards moving the Ummah forward in the current economic recession.
  5. Groom the younger generation for future responsibilities.
