I’m not a teacher or an expert. Will I find this book easy to use in my home?

This book was written specifically for every Muslim parent. It uses clear, friendly language, ready mapped out activity plans and helpful charts that you can use immediately and easily.

Is the advice based on authentic sources?

Yes. Every piece of advice is based on the framework of the Qur’an and authentic hadith, ensuring that while you use modern psychological insights, you never stray from the Prophetic way.

I already have many parenting books. What makes this one different?

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.
