Raising children according to the Quran and Sunnah.
From the first days of life to the teenage years: the child as an amāna, teaching the faith, good character, loving and gentle discipline — with a source from the Quran or hadith for almost every topic.
Raising a child is one of the greatest responsibilities Allah entrusts to us — but also one of the most beautiful. This guide helps you guide your child towards strong faith and good character, from the cradle to adulthood.
The newborn Sunnahs (aqīqa, naming, tahnīk), teaching the faith (tawhīd, prayer, love for Allah), shaping character and manners, loving and gentle discipline, education, and the sensitive teenage years — each topic accompanied by its source from the Quran or hadith.
With an emphasis on mercy, following the example of the Prophet ﷺ, who kissed children and never raised them with harshness. Plus audio du'as, a glossary, common parenting mistakes, an FAQ, and a quiz.
