The Integrity of the Family & the Role of Parents

This short text from Habib Umar bin Hafiz gives a concise overview of the main responsibilities of parents towards their children, and also addresses many of the unique challenges and concerns faced by parents today, both in the the traditional Islamic world and especially in the West. Subjects covered include:

• Rearing children from a Divine perspective
• Factors which influence rearing of children
• Marriage and the role of each spouse
• The concern towards raising children at each stage, from before marriage, marriage, during pregnancy, at birth, in infancy, childhood, and beyond
• Mutual cooperation of spouses in the process of raising children
• Examples of ideal homes in the Prophet ﷺ and his family رضي الله عنهم

And much more.

This text is intentionally brief, providing a short but thorough introduction towards this profoundly important issue. Thus, while it will not take long to read, putting the advice in this book into practice will be the work of generations, encompassing many different aspects of family and community life.
