An excellent guidebook and manual helping parents raise their children, offering sound Islamic principles coupled with child psychology. This refreshing and positive book offers parents practical advice about the upbringing of young children. Included are case studies and, what sets this book apart from others, the testimonials of the authors' children. The authors relate how the first wave of Muslim immigrants struggled to build Masjids and centers for their communities to establish a Muslim presence in North America. Now, however a much more complicated effort is required for parents to concentrate on the developing the Muslim personality in their children to assure the continuation of the practice of Islam. An easy and hands-on guidebook. Very uplifting and positive.
“Meeting the Challenge of Parenting in the West: An Islamic Perspective is valuable on many levels, whether you’re currently a parent or not (which I am not). It allowed me insight into human relationships and how to prepare to be a good parent. I am not a Muslim, but found the practical illustration of relationship issues in this book to be universal in their directness and simplicity. Being able to look through the eyes of another culture at how to raise children in North America (my culture) has also offered me such a unique and valuable perspective on my own upbringing”.

“This really is an awesome book for parents who have children or are thinking to have children. I myself am not married, and I still found it helpful, since raising good children starts even before marriage, with raising yourself first. I read this book cover to cover and memorized it.
If every Muslim parent reads this book, then the next generation is going to be really awesome!”
A reader from Chicago, IL September 11, 1999
In their second book about raising children, Dr. Ekram Beshir and Mohamed Rida Beshir tackle the important issue of raising Muslim teens in a non-Muslim society. Muslim Teens does not dwell on dry theory and textbook-like problems. Instead, it discusses real concerns and fears. With their characteristic clarity and pragmatic approach, the Beshirs help parents understand the teenagers' world - a world of conflicting values and tremendous peer pressure - while showing them how to overcome seemingly impossible obstacles to raise confident young adults who are willingly and joyfully convinced about their way of life. The book is packed with valuable information presented in a simple and easy-to-read manner. Following the concept of the importance of knowledge in Islam, the authors complement all advice and guidance offered with references from the Qur'an and Sunnah. They also include a wide range of input from professionals in various fields on the psychological, physical, and spiritual aspects of teen life. The book emphasizes the need to understand teenagers and the bewildering changes they undergo during this stage of their life. Readers are given a detailed picture of the teen subculture in North America in order to raise their awareness of the problems faced by today's teens. They are then shown a 'road map' of the solution using important parenting techniques, such as being an approachable friend to their children, actively participating in their children's life, and using proper methods to ensure a teen's strong and confident personality. The rest of the book delves into the details surrounding these and other important techniques, as well as providing practical case studies, where parents can test their new knowledge on realistic situations. The authors' analysis of the problems, as well as possible solutions, are provided as a reference. Muslim Teens is a comprehensive, solution-oriented book that allows parents to fulfill the trust of raising their teens in a systematic and tested way, based on guidance from the Qur'an and the teachings of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. It truly gives parents an opportunity to turn today's worry into tomorrow's hope.

This book discusses the problems that parents encounter when deciding to send their child to kindergarten for the very first time. It highlights consultations with real parents and the solutions provided by the elite team of specialists available at www.IslamOnline.net. Parents often take the first step by visiting Islam Online’s section entitled, “Together We Raise Our Children”.
Throughout the pages of the book, the decision-making process that parents undertake is discussed. Most parents, first, realize that it might be time to send their child to kindergarten. Once this realization is made, parents have to consider whether their child is old enough to join a kindergarten and which school to send him to.
Once a child enters kindergarten, a host of other problems face parents. It’s not uncommon for the teacher to label your child with a negative stereotype such as being a “chatterbox” or even a “liar” if he has a colorful imagination. These stereotypes can stunt a child’s academic growth right from the start and cause him to abhor going to school.
This book contains 30 real consultations with parents and the solutions provided by Islam Online’s elite team of specialists. Each consultation comes directly from the “Together We Raise Our Children” section on the website
