She explained that "the course activities, held under the slogan 'My Journey to the World of Accountability.. I Am a Princess in My Hijab,' included a series of educational lectures delivered by counselor Nabaa Al-Hassani, featuring a detailed explanation of adornment display (Tabarruj), its causes, and its impacts on the girl and society. This was accompanied by presenting purposeful videos on the importance of the Hijab and practical demonstrations of the proper way to perform ablution (Wudu), alongside teaching participants the rules of prayer and the correct method for its performance, thereby contributing to building firm religious knowledge among the girls."

She added that "these courses are not limited to providing information and religious rulings alone, but extend to serve as an educational and guiding space to mold a promising generation that derives its path from the biography of the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them), taking their blessed teachings as a way of life to remain steadfast in their faith, proud of their Hijab, and aware of their responsibilities in building society."

This course comes as part of an integrated program adopted by the Family Counseling Center at the Imam Hussain Holy Shrine to nurture girls at the age of accountability, reinforce faith and moral values, and prepare them intellectually and behaviorally to face intellectual and social challenges.
