Deen Foundation has recently published two new works – Our Children – Our Future by Qari Muhammad Asim and The Mothers of the Believers – The Wives of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) by Shabana Asim. Both publications are a timely and welcome addition to existing Islamic literature.

In Our Children – Our Future Qari Asim, the talented young Imam of the award winning Makkah Masjid in Leeds, tackles one of the most pertinent challenges facing the Muslim community of Britain today; raising children to be good Muslims and responsible citizens of the world. Qari Asim’s thought-provoking book addresses the subject practically and sensitively. The book is full of practical advice on how to have a healthy, rewarding and spiritually uplifting relationship with children, who are both a gift from Allah and a responsibility.

Through his book, Qari Asim reminds parents that they have a responsibility towards their children; they are responsible for their physical, emotional and spiritual needs to ensure that their children receive the upbringing they need to become good Muslims. Qari Asim’s message is ultimately that it is only by dedicating time to the delicate task of bringing up children that parents can ensure that they discharge their obligations. He warns of the calamitous consequences if parents fail in their task; the complete breakdown of family life and a generation of Muslim children who have lost all connections with their faith, culture and family.

Qari Asim’s book is truly a must-read for all parents and children.
