Part of parental responsibility in Islam comes from God. The Holy Quran and teachings of the Prophet are full of wonderful examples of the relationships between parents and children. For example, Ibrahim (a) and his relationship with Ismail (a), or the way Prophet Yaqub (a) dealt with the challenges of his son, Yusuf (a). The Quran also tells us of parenting styles they chose to adopt.

The Islamic duty of parents is to raise children with good characters and followers of the faith. Character building of youth is therefore critical and our course focuses on this. It is important for parents to be in a position to instill the correct values and work together with their teen to attain God’s pleasure – strengthening their mutual bond and love. Our parenting courses are therefore designed to help you with exactly this.
