Positive Parenting in the Muslim Home

About The Book

The Islamic tradition is rich with values that parents strive to imbue in their children: respect, responsibility, integrity, love and more. Parenting is all too often filled with sleepless nights, tears, and anxiety followed by endless doubts:

• Did I do my best?
• What could I have done differently?
• Am I responsible?

Positive Discipline, a philosophy conceptualized by Dr. Jane Nelsen, provides a powerful model for channeling parenting struggles into proven methods that yield results. Positive Parenting in the Muslim Home addresses real challenges faced by real families.

This comprehensive book is essential for parents, caregivers, and educators seeking to nurture a grounded parent-child relationship built on connection. It is a book of hope. It invites the reader to:

• Approach parenting in Islam as a process of love and guidance
• Apply Positive Discipline tools to nurture Islamic values in matters of faith, relationships, and everyday life
• Empower children to be responsible, capable, and proactive individuals
• Address sensitive issues constructively, including sex, drugs, bullying, and youth radicalization
• Resolve conflicts by focusing on solutions rather than punishments
