ABOUT THE BOOK 
 
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
 
 
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.
