Love, Relationships & Marriage in Islam

This event, led by Chaplain Amir Duric from Syracuse University, will center on questions and education about love, relationships and marriage in Islam. Muslim students continue to grapple with navigating the desire, dynamics and tensions that more intimate relationships pose during their undergraduate years, as well as learning the skills to make successful life-lasting decisions for the years to come. With Chaplain Amir’s years of experience guiding such conversations, we will help students learn more about their needs and goals when it comes to romantic relationships, marital goals, and success in their future relationships.
