Islamic Books on Parenting

First time parents in general have a hard time figuring out a number of things where their children are concerned. Fears about raising them properly in accordance to Islamic teachings, teaching them morals and values, educating them about kindness towards others and other common aspects of Islam can be quite intense for a number of parents. In the older times when joint family systems were prevalent in the Middle Eastern and Asian cultures, these fears were quelled by the advice and help of the elders of the family, who were always around to help out and aid the new parents.
