MS Family Counselling Center

Counselling and Mahkama services, under one roof

Support for individuals, couples and families — and fair resolution according to Shariah when it is needed.

Counselling

How we can help

Whatever your family is going through, you do not have to carry it alone.

Marital counselling

Marriage is an amanah, and every couple goes through hard seasons. We help husbands and wives understand each other again, talk without hurting, and rebuild trust — drawing on the Qur’an and Sunnah alongside practical counselling skills. Couples preparing for nikah can also come for guidance before the wedding.

It may help if

  • Small disagreements keep turning into big arguments
  • You feel distant, unheard or taken for granted
  • In-laws or the joint family are part of the strain
  • You are getting married and want a strong start

What we help with

  • Communication and recurring arguments
  • Trust, respect and rights in marriage
  • In-law and joint-family pressures
  • Pre-marriage guidance for couples

Family & relationship disputes

When brothers stop speaking, parents and grown children grow apart, or a family is split over a decision, everyone suffers. We bring people together in a calm, neutral setting, help each side be heard, and work towards reconciliation (sulh). If a matter needs a formal ruling, we can refer it to our Darul Qadha.

It may help if

  • Family members have stopped talking to each other
  • Old disagreements keep coming back
  • A decision about property, marriage or care has divided the family
  • You want to reconcile but do not know where to start

What we help with

  • Mediation between family members
  • Tension between parents and grown children
  • Reconciliation after long separations
  • Referral to Darul Qadha when a ruling is needed

Parenting & child guidance

Raising children today brings new questions — screens, school pressure, friends and the wider world. We help parents understand what is behind a child’s behaviour, set boundaries with mercy, and nurture faith and character (tarbiyah). We also see young people on their own when they need someone to talk to.

It may help if

  • Arguments at home about screens, studies or friends
  • Your child seems withdrawn, angry or anxious
  • You and your spouse disagree on how to parent
  • You want to raise children close to their deen

What we help with

  • Behaviour, discipline and routines
  • Teenagers, screens and peer pressure
  • Study habits and confidence
  • Tarbiyah — nurturing faith and character

Mental & emotional wellbeing

Everyone carries heavy times — worry that will not switch off, sadness after a loss, anger that comes too quickly. We offer a confidential space to talk, practical ways to cope, and spiritual comfort where you want it. If medical care would help, we will guide you towards it.

It may help if

  • You feel anxious, low or tired most days
  • Sleep, appetite or concentration have changed
  • Anger or tears come more easily than before
  • You are grieving a loss or a big change in life

What we help with

  • Stress, worry and anxiety
  • Low mood and loss of motivation
  • Anger and emotional overwhelm
  • Grief and difficult life changes

Mahkama-e-Shariah

Mahkama-e-Shariah

Handled by qualified qazis and muftis, with careful records and certificates.

Darul Qadha

Our Darul Qadha hears family matters that counselling alone cannot settle: khula, talaq, faskh-e-nikah (dissolution of marriage), nafaqa (maintenance), hizanat (custody of children) and inheritance or property division. Reconciliation is always tried first, and every step is recorded.

How it works

  1. 1 Submit a written application with your documents
  2. 2 The other party receives a formal notice of the hearing
  3. 3 Hearings are held and recorded; reconciliation is attempted
  4. 4 The qazi gives a signed judgment and certificate

Please bring

  • ID proof (Aadhaar or similar)
  • Nikah-nama or nikah certificate
  • Any earlier notices, letters or evidence

Nikah registration

We register nikahs with full nikah-nama details and issue a certificate in English, Urdu or Tamil. Every certificate carries a QR code, so anyone — a family, an office or an embassy — can confirm it is genuine.

How it works

  1. 1 Share the nikah details: date, venue and the officiating qazi
  2. 2 Record bride, groom, wali and at least two witnesses
  3. 3 Record the mahr — prompt and deferred
  4. 4 Receive a certificate with a QR code

Please bring

  • ID proof (Aadhaar) for bride, groom, wali and witnesses
  • Date of birth or age proof
  • Addresses and phone numbers
  • Mahr details and any special conditions

Talaq & khula registration

When a marriage ends, it should be recorded properly and respectfully. We offer counselling first, register talaq or khula with the type and dates, and issue a certificate that can be checked by its QR code.

How it works

  1. 1 Talk to us — counselling is offered first
  2. 2 The talaq or khula is recorded with its type and dates
  3. 3 Receive a certificate with a QR code

Please bring

  • ID proof for both spouses
  • Nikah certificate or nikah-nama
  • Any related letters or decisions

Fatwa

Ask about worship, family life, transactions, business or any part of daily life. A mufti prepares the answer with references from the Qur’an, Sunnah and the books of fiqh, and a second mufti checks it before it is published — without your name.

How it works

  1. 1 Send your question online
  2. 2 A mufti prepares the answer with references
  3. 3 A second mufti verifies it
  4. 4 The answer is published in the archive
