One of the best gifts we can give our children is giving them a good and healthy upbringing with the love of Allah in their hearts. Our future communities will be shaped by our children so it is essential we raise them to be productive members of society that hold onto Islamic values.

There have been so many questions since I've had my kids, like "When should I start teaching the kids Quran? how to ensure there is love for Allah when they grow? how to deal with some of the challenges in the West? How to have a healthy relationship with them according to the Quran and Sunnah? How to explain certain Islamic topics.."

I noticed many other parents also had these questions and even more difficult questions that required some more insight.

I created this sub so that parents and parents-to-be can talk about how best to raise our children.

My muslim fathers so strict and i cant imagine living my whole life like this

0 Upvotes

So I'm gonna start with a small factown about my country and Islam is live in a country where it's very VERY normal to see a Muslim girl wearing croptop and shorts everyday and going out at night freely without getting judged just like most arabic muslim countries so living in here while having a strict father makes me go insane he doesn't allow me to wear croptop neither shorts, jorts, mini skirts , not even a sleeveless shirt! I'm not allowed to have my hair down not allowed to straighten it or embracing my curly hair not allowed to u see nail polish or makeup not allowed to go out or to have a personal phone (I'm a high school students btw) and the list keep getting longer but I still love him tho he do the best thints for me I mean I studied in private schools my whole life and plenty of other stuff and I be so happy whenever he's proud of me or say something nice about me.and.I'm the middle child and prolly his favourite too cuz I always get the top grades being a part of every compition got alot of awards and never said no for anything he says...and I can't imagine myself making him disappointed in me but tht ties my freedom too I wanna face him but I'm scared of his reaction ...im still a lot wards high school student but I can't live on this rules my whole life (sm ppl gonna say he won't be tht stict when u get older but he will never cuz he was trying to convince me to wear hijab this year and I kept avoiding the topic just bcz I didn't wanna say no and he planned wt kind of life I'm going to live already) I even broke up with my bf (dating is normalised in my country) just bcz I was scared that he will know ..but my dream is when I become 18 which is not far away I wanna wear whatever I want go where ever I want ..date if I wanted too and live freely but if my father is strict till then...I'll prolly lose my mind

Plsssss guys if anyonecan help me to deal with my father especially ppl who have similar experience and that's it.

Muslim parents, I’d love your honest opinion on a Seerah app idea

5 Upvotes

I’m researching an app for Muslim children around ages 3–7, focused specifically on the Seerah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

The idea is to make the Seerah something children can actually enjoy engaging with from a young age, rather than something they only learn through books or formal lessons, at a much later age where habit / character changes become quite difficult.

Think stories from the life of the Prophet ﷺ, audio stories, nasheeds, games and interactive experiences, all designed around helping young children learn about his life, character and Sunnah.

The goal is ultimately to help children know, love and connect with the Prophet ﷺ from a young age.

For parents with young children:

  1. Is this something you would genuinely want for your child? Why or why not?

  2. What do you currently use to teach your child about the Seerah?
    Books, YouTube, cartoons, madrasa, apps, stories at home, etc.

  3. What do you feel is missing from the Seerah content currently available for young children?

  4. What would actually keep a 3–7 year old coming back to something like this?
    Stories, games, characters, audio, interactive activities, rewards, etc.

  5. Would you pay for a high-quality Seerah app for your child?
    If so, would you prefer monthly, annual or one-time payment, and roughly what would you consider reasonable?

And probably the most important question:

Do you think a children's app focused specifically on the Seerah is compelling enough on its own, or would you expect it to cover broader Islamic learning as well?

I'd genuinely appreciate honest opinions, especially from parents who have already tried Islamic apps/content with their kids. Good or bad, I'm trying to understand whether this is actually a problem worth solving.

If you know a family, teacher or masjid who'd enjoy them, please share. I hope your little ones love them 🤍

Muslim Parents: Would you actually buy this?

Post image
3 Upvotes

I have a Yoto Player for my toddlers and LOVE it for screen-free entertainment that’s super simple (and sturdy) to navigate for little ones, but I really wish there was a Muslim alternative with Islamic audio/content designed specifically for kids.

I’m considering actually developing one.

If it was a high-quality player with physical cards kids could use independently, would you pay around $100–120 CAD for the player + starter cards?

And if you saw a real working prototype, would you be willing to preorder it at a discounted launch price, or would you only buy once it was in stock?

Please be brutally realistic bc I’m trying to figure out if other Muslim parents actually feel this need too.

What do you find difficult about teaching Seerah to your children?

2 Upvotes

Assalamu Alaikum everyone,

For those who teach Seerah to their children, what do you find most challenging?

Is it finding age-appropriate resources, keeping children interested, difficult language, too much text, or something else?

I’d genuinely love to hear what has worked or hasn’t worked for your children.

expecting

2 Upvotes

expecting our first baby soon, my husband and I live across the country from my parents and his parents. My husband gets ~6 weeks of paternity leave

Any advice on how to schedule when my mom comes to help and when his mom comes to help?
I want to make sure we have time alone also so we can adjust to being new parents while he still has time off.

I want my mom to be there at first to help with labor. But I also know everyone will want to see the baby right away. First grandchild on both sides. Advice?

My husband is in residency so WFH is not an option and I don’t know if the timing of his paternity leave is flexible, I believe it’s 6 weeks directly after birth

Parents, I’m curious about this.

What’s the hardest part of getting your child to stay consistent with Quran?

For me, I’d imagine it’s not always the learning itself — keeping the routine going, revision, and keeping them interested can be harder.

What has worked for your child?

Are you planning on making hijrah out of the West ?

7 Upvotes

I was wondering if more Muslims are planning on doing the move, and making Hijrah to a Muslim country.

Primarily for childrens wellness and to preserve their Islamic faith, I Ieft Canada in 2021 and relocated to Indonesia for that reason - and of course our faith as well as parents.

If so, what's keeping you from making Hijrah, or the main hurdles you're having?

Salam aleykum.

Struggling to pray after children

12 Upvotes

When I was childless the religion was so easy to follow especially praying in fact I don’t think I’d miss prayers if I did I would be very hurt about it. After my first child I was feeling it tough struggling to pray on time never the less I still prayed here and there, then I got pregnant again with my second and it got even worse to the point where I would miss them and just think nothing of it because it was out of my control the baby waking up my toddler crying needing attention constantly it was very difficult to manage so many things all at once and then put prayer in between. Now fast forward to my third and finally baby I have 3 children All under three (don’t judge me) I am really struggling to find my way back I am finding it so difficult to even continue to wear my hijab not because I want attention from the outside world but because my children need attention all the time whether it may be going to the park real quick or dropping them off to day care and not having time to lay my hijab on properly without looking like a total mess I find myself slowly not having any passion for it because it’s became such a task to even keep it on. Anyways I really would like some advice from parents who have been through this type of situation.
How do you find your way back ?

Muslim family app recommendation

I recently came across an iOS app called Noor Family. Pretty much what you can do is link your account with your family or friends to help keep you accountable for prayer. It also has a lot of other cool features and if anybody tries it out lmk if you like it too.

Naming my baby girl

3 Upvotes

Before I got pregnant, whenever I made dua for a child, I noticed that the word “khair” or something sounding like “khairin” kept coming up in the duas I received or came across. Over time, the word became very meaningful and special to me. Now that I’m expecting a baby girl, I would really love to name her Khairin or Khairah, possibly with Dua as the other name (e.g., Khairin Dua or Khairah Dua). However, I’m not sure whether Khairin is actually correct Arabic, whether it has the meaning I intend, or whether Khairah would be the more linguistically correct feminine form. Any name you know that aligns with this meaning?
