Parenting in Islam

Comfort to the eyes.

The new Muslim parent is at the most consequential and least-supported moment of their faith life. Most Islamic parenting books assume a parent already raised in a Muslim family. This book is for the parent who was not.

Parenting in Islam walks the developmental arc from before the child arrives, through the newborn rituals, the soft years, adolescence, and the young adult with chapters for the interfaith and convert family.

Mercy is the through-line. The parent who is merciful with the child is teaching the child what the Most Merciful is like.

Second edition, revised and reset. Book Seven of The New Muslim Companion a series of twenty books for the new Muslim, the returning Muslim, and the curious reader: plain English, no Arabic assumed, honest about where scholars differ.
