Islamically Integrated Life Coaching Certification – Level 1

Life is filled with inevitable ups and downs in career, relationships, studies, and almost every other domain. At times, individuals move forward effortlessly, while at different times, they struggle to determine the best course of action. A certified life coach possesses the expertise to support people during challenging periods and guide them through their difficulties. If you are inclined to learn and utilise qualities such as empathy, active listening, decision- making, and problem-solving to help others improve their lives; consider exploring the profession of life coaching.

Modern psychological, self-help, and life coaching studies are increasingly becoming secular, which means there is a possibility that they may present “solutions” that do not align with Islamic values. However, Islamically integrated life coaching ensures not only that such solutions are avoided, but that the entire content is in sync with the teachings of Islam. Our source of inspiration and motivation is the Qur’an and Sunnah; therefore, all our lessons are rooted in Islamic principles.

• The purpose of this course is to equip you with the coaching techniques needed to empower others. Therefore, this course aims to:
• •  Provide you with a comprehensive understanding of Islamic teachings related to personal growth and development.
• •  Empower you to align your personal and professional life with Islamic principles and values.
• •  Develop practical goal-setting and planning skills. ILC aims to equip you with effective tools and strategies for setting meaningful goals, creating action plans, and staying motivated in pursuing them.
• •  Cultivate emotional intelligence and well-being. ILC aims to enhance your emotional intelligence by providing guidance on regulating emotions, building positive relationships, and developing a balanced approach to life in accordance with Islamic principles.
• •  Enhance self-awareness and self-reflection. You will learn techniques and tools to better understand your strengths, weaknesses, and values. The practice of writing regular reflections is an essential part of the course.
• •  Promote balance and holistic well-being. Islam emphasises the importance of balance in all aspects of life. ILC aims to help you achieve a balanced lifestyle by exploring spiritual, emotional, mental and physical dimensions of growth.
• •  Create a supportive and inclusive learning environment where you can connect with like- minded individuals, share your experiences, and seek guidance and support from instructors and fellow participants. ILC aims to foster a sense of community and encourage lifelong learning and growth.
• •  Cultivate spiritual growth and connection with Allah. ILC focuses on helping you establish a deeper connection with your Creator, find solace in faith, and seek Allah’s guidance in all aspects of life.
• Finally, IILC will help you not only apply all the above to yourself but also support your future clients and anyone interested in exploring and implementing these. Our vision is to empower individuals to lead fulfilling lives aligned with Islamic values and provide them with the tools and guidance to navigate life’s challenges with wisdom and a strong connection with Allah.
