Here are answers from our counsellors that might be of help as you sail through your parenting journey.

If you have any questions, contact our counseling services. It’s free!

My Son Is Not Interested in Studies; What Can I Do?

My son is 12 years old. He is not taking an interest in his studies. How shall I handle him in an Islamic way?

My Daughter Can Not Focus On Her Studies

My daughter is not willing to focus on her studies. We are worried in spite of helping her with the studies she is not coping with. She lacks attention and focus. She is easily distracted.

Raising Children: Will They Face Difficulties?

My children already learn and speak three languages as their mother tongues, but we live in Germany, where they will obviously need to learn the German language. In addition, by the age of 6, they will need to learn English. How can I help them to learn all these languages?

My Younger Brother Is Struggling in School

My youngest brother, who turned 14, is struggling at school—well not struggling because he doesn’t even try. He gets really angry if any of us siblings try to talk to him about his studies.

Are Multilingual Children Late Talkers?

I am concerned about his speech and cognitive development. I am not sure if he falls within the normal range or not. He speaks or tries to speak the languages (mine, my husband’s, and English). He can form sentences and carry a short conversation, but it’s sometimes hard to understand him.

My Son Has a Speech Impediment

My son is 5, and he has issues with his F sound. It sounds like S sometimes. Like four sounds like sore. Does he have a speech issue, or is it normal for someone his age to do this?

Islamic or Multicultural Public School?

My son enters his first year of school this September, and I am in a dilemma. Do I enrol my son in an Islamic school, where most of the children are from one background, or do I enrol him in a multicultural public school?

Homeschooling vs Public School: Which Is A Better Choice?

Which is better in regards to a child’s development: homeschooling or public school? My child still has a year to go to school, yet I am thinking a lot about this issue.

Coeducational Schools for Girls: Yes or No?

Do you think that teenage Muslim girls should be sent to schools and colleges that are just for girls and not coeducational? This may protect them to an extent from any harm that they may inflict upon themselves due to free mixing of the sexes at schools.

To Homeschool or Not to Homeschool?

I’m very interested in homeschooling. My son is very young at the moment, but I want to research and review my options before he reaches school age. My husband disagrees with homeschooling, and I want to dispel his misconceptions about children turning out “dumb” and unable to socialise, etc.

How Does Homeschooling Work?

I want to homeschool my kids, but I do not know anything about how it works. I would like to know some information. Do we pay a school that gives the homeschool program, or what are the exact procedures?

Homeschooling As A Way of Protection?

As-salamu `Alaikum, I would like to know your opinion about homeschooling as a way to protect our children from the impurity of Western society.

My Problem with The High Cost of Islamic Schooling

Currently, we are fortunate enough to have our school-aged daughter enrolled in a good private Islamic school. However, due to the expense and the grade limit of the school (the school only goes up to the 8th grade), we are not sure how much longer we can send her there.

Can No Longer Afford Tuition Fees

I am unable to afford the hefty tuition fees for my kids. I have tried to change their schools, but my parents (grandparents of the children) keep putting them back into the same expensive schools. I have asked my parents repeatedly not to burden me with the extra expenses, but they don’t listen.

List of Times and Places Where Dua is Accepted

A short reminder regarding the recommended times of dua . And I think what you need to know here is that the recommended times of dua or recommended things that can cause your dua to be accepted, can be divided into two sort of large groups: Am I Good Enough to Make Dua for Myself? Situations where your dua is accepted. Times where your dua is accepted So I’m going to very briefly mention them one after the other as much as possible. As for situations where your dua has been accepted: – The person who has been wronged or oppressed . – A person who finds themselves in severe difficulty after a calamity has struck. – The person who is traveling. – Someone who is fasting. – The one who is reciting the Quran or has just recited the Quran – Someone who is performing Hajj or Umrah or jihad. – The one who is making dua for someone in their absence . Because we know that when you make dua for someone in his absence an angel says: “ Ameen and to you”. – A person...

Derechos de Las Mujeres en Islam

Durante el Tiempo del Profeta (la paz sea con él) Veamos cómo fueron tratadas las mujeres de todo el mundo durante la época del Profeta (la paz sea con él). En la Europa del siglo VIII, la religión principal era el catolicismo y durante este tiempo debatían si las mujeres tenían alma. Dijeron que las mujeres eran impuras y que no tenían derecho a la herencia. A las mujeres tampoco se les permitía tocar la Biblia. No era como ahora en el Islam, donde ellas no pueden tocar el Corán durante la menstruación, pero a las mujeres en la Europa del siglo VIII nunca se les permitió tocar la Biblia. En China e India, fueron quemadas vivas cuando murieron sus maridos. En Arabia Saudita practicaron infanticidio femenino en el que, si nacía una niña, la enterrarían viva. Si el marido de una mujer muere, un miembro de su familia se unirá a ella para demostrar que ahora es de su propiedad. Mujeres en el Islam Con el Islam llegó una nueva era para las mujeres. En el Islam, las mujeres tienen la...

Ghuraba (The Strangers): Nasheed with English Subtitles

Islam began as something strange, and it shall return to being something strange, so give glad tidings the strangers. (Sahih Muslim 145) This famous nasheed has many versions; this one is from Muhammad al-Salman and has the subtitles in English embedded. [We are] strangers and we do not bow the foreheads to anyone besides Allah  […] Transliteration to help in the pronounciation:  Ghurabaa’ wa li ghairillaahi laa nahnil jibaa Aisha Stacey  wrote in an article for Aboutislam.net : “I think that many of you would agree that being Muslim in the 21st century makes you well acquainted with being strange. It might even be a metaphor for random, as in you have been randomly selected. […] many converts to Islam will tell you about feeling as if they were strangers, before finding Islam. They will speak of feeling that they belonged somewhere else that their lives were just slightly off center. They often speak about a vague sense of knowing they were not like everyone else...
