In this episode of The Ahlul Quran Podcast, we sit down with Ustadh Umar Muqaddam, an experienced Islamic teacher and coordinator at Al-Rahmah Faith Centre, to explore the intricacies of Islamic parenting. Together, we delve into questions that weigh heavily on the minds of parents: How much time should we spend with our children? Who are the primary influencers in their lives? Who instills values and principles in them? And, perhaps most importantly, what level of control do we have over their development? Join us as we navigate these important inquiries, drawing from Islamic teachings and practical experiences. Our aim is to offer insights into nurturing strong bonds with our children, equipping them with essential life skills, and fostering environments of emaan and love. Whether you're a parent, a teacher seeking guidance, or someone preparing for the journey of parenthood, this episode offers valuable perspectives to help navigate the challenges and joys of raising children in today's world.
