Raising a muslim child did not start when the baby is born!

Read this excerpt from page 116 :-

Then the boy said "What are these rights O Commander of the Faithful?" Umar said, "To choose a good mother for him, to select good name to him and to teach him the Quran" Then the boy said :"O Commander of the faithful; my father has not accomplished any of these rights. As for my mother, she was a black slave for a Magian; As for my name, he has named me jual - A beetle; and he has not taught me even one letter from the Quran".

So you have made mistakes against him before he has made mistakes against you". Read More...

Apologies

Salamualaykum
My apologies to all readers of the blog for my absence and thus, have not updated anything here for a long time. I've recently become a mother of 2, and time is something that I'm trying to fight for :) For those who have emailed, and previously messaged, I thank you for your kind reminders and pray for your continual support.

To help this blog running and interactive, I would like to encourage readers to participate by emailing me good references, links, stories on Islamic Parenting, and I will put it up here for you to share with others who will inshaallah, benefit from it.

Email them to oumu.salma@gmail.com

May Allah help us bring up good children!

Salamualaykum
