About The Book

We live in a time of complexity and uncertainty within modern life. Whilst the overuse of technology and social media has reduced human interaction in families and neighbourhoods, we have also seen an upsurge of empathy and compassion for fellow human beings during times of difficulty and crises. Positive parenting is about raising a child as a better human being and a better citizen.

Our parental obligation is to help children grow into mature and confident adults with a positive character and good social and life skills. Preparing for Life is a reminder to, particularly, Muslim parents about their unique and entrusted role in preparing their children for life with universal human and Islamic values.
