Meeting the Challenge of Parenting in the West: An Islamic Perspective

Synopsis:

The authors of “Meeting the Challenge of Parenting in the West: An Islamic Perspective” highlight the importance of:

• Time management: Effective time management is crucial for Muslim parents, allowing them to balance their responsibilities, prioritize their faith, and spend quality time with their children.
• Strategic planning: Parents must plan strategically to ensure their children receive a strong Islamic education and are equipped to deal with the challenges of growing up in a non-Muslim society.
• Tarbiyah: Tarbiyah, or character development, is essential for raising children who are grounded in their faith and values. Muslim parents must prioritise their children’s spiritual growth and moral development.

The book also emphasizes the importance of:

• Community involvement: Muslim parents should be actively involved in their local Muslim community, seeking support and guidance from other parents and Islamic scholars.
• Role modelling: Parents must model the behaviour they wish to see in their children, demonstrating Islamic values and principles in their daily lives.

By applying these principles, Muslim parents can successfully navigate the challenges of raising their children in Western societies while remaining true to their Islamic faith and values.
