Description :

'Guide to Parenting' ... Based on Advice given by the Prophets, peace be upon them, by Hadrat Luqman & by Imam Abu Hamid al-Ghazali.

Children are a great blessing from Allah ta'ala. Those who have been blessed with sons and daughters have received great graces and favours from the Lord. Children bring coolness to the eyes, bring peace to the heart and satisfaction to the soul.


People work hard night and day in order to provide for their children and when they arrive home tired at the end of a long day, seeing their smiling and happy children removes all tiredness and fatigue. However, if the children  are disobedient and rebellious, then the peace and contentment of the parents is destroyed and they are not able to rest at night or find comfort during the day.

This is why Islam has advocated and encouraged parents to start training and guiding their children from a very early age and has given methods and guidelines for training children. Those parents who follow these guidelines have children who are obedient, dutiful and respectful and give peace and comfort to their parents.

Many parents are not able to raise their children correctly due to a lack of knowledge which leads to their children spending time in the wrong company and becoming a source of pain and trouble for the parents.

Some of the topics discussed are :

   ***How are pious children attained?

   ***Types of guidance and training,

   ***Advice of Hadrat Ibrahim and Hadrat Yakub,

   ***Global anxiety,

   ***Establishing Salah,

   ***Etqiuettes of talking,

   ***Advice from Hadrat Luqman,

   ***Advice from Imam al-Ghazali,

   ***Rewards based on deeds,

   ***Sincerity, etc.
