About this course

Consider the work of raising children within an Islamic framework and amid the influences of social media. Beginning with Qur’anic sources of serenity and the place of community, the lessons examine the demands of parenting before following children’s development through the first seven years, ages eight to fourteen and young adulthood.

The discussion then broadens to productivity, balance and the tools that shape everyday life. Lessons on action, the mixing of truth and falsehood and the power of influence lead into Imam al-Sajjad’s prayer for his children, bringing questions of upbringing and religious reflection together.

What you’ll explore

  • Qur’anic sources of serenity and the role of community
  • Parenting across childhood and young adulthood
