In his first talk with Year 9 and 10 students, Sheikh Belal reflected on his experiences of growing up in both Australia and Lebanon. He shared personal insights on peer pressure, family, and the role of faith and values in guiding young people through life’s challenges. He also spoke about the inspirations behind his book, offering students a meaningful perspective on how culture, family, and belief can shape a person’s journey.

In the second series with Year 11 and 12 students, Sheikh Belal highlighted how his parents nurtured his Islamic upbringing and instilled the importance of faith from an early age. Drawing on the examples of the Sahabah (companions of the Prophet ﷺ), he encouraged students to hold firmly to their Islamic identity with confidence and pride. He also addressed the challenges of transgenerational trauma, dealing with stress, and maintaining resilience, while reminding us to recognise and be grateful for the many blessings in our lives.
