We currently live in a time marked by the uncertainties of modern life. While the excessive use of technology and social media has diminished interpersonal connections within families and communities, there has also been a surge in empathy and compassion towards others during times of hardship and crises. Positive parenting entails nurturing a child to become a compassionate and responsible individual, contributing positively to society. As parents, we must guide children towards maturity and self-assurance, equipping them with strong character and essential social and life skills. This book serves as a reminder to Muslim parents, of their unique and crucial role in instilling universal human values and Islamic principles in their children, thus preparing them effectively for the challenges of life.
