The Religion of Islam, in terms of its Doctrines, Statements and Acts, wants to guide people and bring them to happiness in their global life and in the hereafter. To gain this goodness and freedom, there are several methods associated with counseling and guidance we can follow to keep firm those who suffer problems.

By a guiding/counseling method we mean the technique and the skilled approach that the guiding agent can use to overcome a problem of the guidee. Of course, different individuals have diverse problems in terms of nature and size. As well, guiders and counselors are diverse with respect to age, experience and quest orders. Accordingly, guidance/counseling should follow diverse methods to each claimant according to his or her specific conditions and circumstantial needs; even a single problem needs to be treated by more than one approach.
