Do you ever wonder why certain patterns – anger, silence, or mistrust – seem to repeat in every generation of the family? If we want to make the future of our children better, we must be brave enough to look at the knots of our own past.
In this hard-hitting guide, Afshan Khan moves beyond general marriage advice to address the deeper issues: narcissism, addiction, infidelity, avoidant behaviour, and the emotional baggage we carry into our homes. By using the technique of core-belief work, she shows you how to pull these issues out by the root. This is the book for the family that wants to stop just getting by and start truly healing and thriving.
More From The Author
Endorsements & Recognition
“This is an excellent contribution to the growing literature which acknowledges the need for the Muslim community to revisit its past, recognise that there are deep-rooted issues that must be tackled now rather than later and understand that society at large and the teachings of Islam have solutions to heal families so that the foundations of a vibrant, flourishing, caring and merciful generation are laid. The book is highly recommended for prospective couples, Imams, and marriage and family counsellors.”

Frequently Asked Questions
This sounds like quite a heavy book. Is it too depressing to read?
While it covers serious topics, it is ultimately an optimistic book. It focuses on finding the root causes of issues and working to a solution for a better future.
Is it too late for my family if the problems are deep-seated?
It is never too late. Afshan has worked with families at the point of collapse. This book contains the tools that helped them find their way back.
Won’t digging into the past make things worse?
No. It’s about taking responsibility, not laying blame. It helps you understand why people act the way they do so you can respond with wisdom. Initially, going back to the root of the problem requires patience and hard work, but the end result of a harmonious family life, with fewer deep-seated resentments and frustrations, is well worth the effort.
I don't have these big problems of infidelity and addiction in my family. How can this book help our family life?
Every family has emotional baggage and every person brings their past into their marriage in some form. Understanding your core beliefs will make a good marriage even better, insha’Allah, and will help you understand yourself better.

Who We Are
One of the First Islamic Publishers in the United Kingdom
Connecting English-speaking Muslims to the heart of their faith with authentic, accessible books.
At a time when there were limited faith-based resources to learn and teach Islam to the Muslim community in English, Afsar & Jamal-un-Nisa Siddiqui founded one of the first Islamic publishing houses in the UK. Leaving behind professional careers, they paved the way for future generations to enjoy a wide range of Islamic literature. Almost fifty years later, we continue to provide the highest quality books worldwide and support literacy charities.
