  • A healthier mind and body: Understand how physical and mental well-being are part of your ibadah.

    The Role Of Extended Family in Nurturing Healthy Children in Islamic Society

    Every family member plays a pivotal role in shaping the growth of a well-rounded child. Instilling positive character in children requires elders in the family to demonstrate good values. Adults must themselves be guided by great principles, and there is no greater influence than that of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). He successfully guided entire nations, fostering profound teachings in young minds, such as Abdullah Ibn Abbas, who later contributed to building a strong Islamic society.
