Training Guide for Islamic Workers

This Guide is organized into five parts in addition to the opening section. Its underlying structure may be described in terms of the "why, what, and how" of training:

• WHY: An overview of the Islamic movement and the need for training is covered in part one.
• WHAT: The major elements of leadership and the essential individual and group skills are dealt with in parts two and three.
• HOW: How trainers train others effectively is discussed in part four, while part five focuses on organizing and running a youth camp as a major mode of training.

Some activities and aids to learning have been included in various chapters. Most chapters begin with "Learning Objectives" and end with "Questions for Discussion" and "Comprehension Exercises" in order to reinforce both group training and selflearning experiences. Relationships among subtopics are pointed out when doing so will extend the learning material. Action points, special exercises, reminders, and anecdotes are included with the lessons to highlight and reinforce the practical use of the basic material.
