Family Harmony & Relationships
Saibaan, literally translates to a canopy made of canvas to shelter people or things from rain or sun. We bring this ‘Saibaan’ into your homes and provide shelter to individuals and families. A place where they can unlock their emotions, fears, concerns, worries, and openly discuss them, without the feeling of being judged. In this episode we explore ‘Family Harmony’, the challenges each member of the family faces. A thought-provoking discussion with our host to expose what can trigger an imbalance. And how, with a little compassion, understanding, and care, solidarity can be maintained.
Renowned Alweaz, Counselor and Mentor Kamaluddin Ali Muhammad take the audience through the layers seldom noticed in spousal relationships. From the need to create effective communication between the couple, specially keeping our traditional value system of living within a joint family. Besides just conflict resolution, Alweaz talks about discovering ways to improve the overall martial life.

Mediation Week is recognized in countries worldwide every October to highlight the value of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) as a constructive and cost-effective alternative to litigation. This year, the Ismaili International Conciliation and Arbitration Board are presenting a series of programs that provide information about conflict resolution based on in the context of this year’s “Access to Justice – The Role of Mediation.” On Day 1 of Mediation Week, we learn about the role of ethics in disputes and how the Ismaili Conciliation and Arbitration Boards help the Jamat resolve disputes by encouraging an ethical culture of mediation.
Join us as we explore the issues facing the Jamat and the ethical underpinnings of our system, and to learn about how the Conciliation and Arbitration Boards use best practices to assist the Jamat globally.
