The family as an institution has lost its importance in the Western world. At the same time, materialism and individualism are resulting in a massive breakdown of community values and institutions. The impact is being felt by Muslim families attempting to raise their children in Islam in Western societies.
This book, by a prominent British Muslim educationalist, is based on a successful online course on Islamic parenting, and aims to address the issues of marriage and family in a holistic way from an Islamic perspective.
