Family Mediation

“The most detestable of lawful things before Allah is divorce“
“The husband must retain his wife with honor or separate with grace 
(Quran Surat Al Bakarah, Ayah 229)”
ASF offers the possibility to mediate between married couples. The
reconciliation is done through trusted and respected individuals who
are bound by confidentiality. The process is done in a traditional
fashion conforming to our values. If reconciliation cannot be achieved,
ASF will facilitate a smooth closing of the relationship.

Youth Counseling

The challenges facing our youth can be overwhelming. These
challenges arise mostly from the double culture they live in, at home
and at school or in their social circle of peers. Challenges also occur
when becoming independent and responsible for oneself. ASF can
provide mentoring from older individuals who crossed the same path

before them. The sharing of the experiences can prove valuable so
that mistakes can be avoided. We believe that young people have the
potential to bring about positive change in their communities. They
represent the future of our community and we need to prepare them
the best we can.
