A Guide to Parenting in Islam: Addressing Adolescence

Syllabus and Guidelines for Pre-School Children (Age 3-5).

It is important that the Muslim parents and educators should take every care to see that our children grow up with a sound knowledge of their Deen (religion) and the culture that is developed as a result of following Islam. A child should be introduced to the basic matters of Eeman (faith) in a happy and lively way. The educators responsibility, especially that of a mother, at the stage of 0 to 5 years, is of crucial importance.

This book is the third in a series that contains detailed answers to Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on the hot topic of parenting in North America. Because some of these questions have been raised more than once in recent years, we feel that they represent crucial issues of concern occupying the minds of many parents. Making these answers available in a written format would hopefully provide Muslim parents with the proper advice supported by the Qur’an as well as the teachings of the prophet Muhammad SAW.

The methodology used in answering these questions draws heavily on verses of the Qur’an, teachings of the prophet Muhammad SAW, and events in his Seerah, as well as the authors’ wealth of practical experience, gained from their countless parenting counseling sessions over the years, and their knowledge of child psychology.
