Guide for Parents of Newborns

Guide for parents of newborns

At a time when modern scientific knowledge is constantly expanding our ideas about health and parenting, this work offers a valuable look back at the traditional teachings and traditions that have accompanied Muslim families for centuries. The great scholar Ibn al-Qayyim covers fundamental topics that concern the beginning of a new life, from naming to raising and disciplining children.

Particularly valuable for Muslim readers are the chapters that deal with specific Islamic rites and customs surrounding the newborn. These traditions, such as reciting the adhan in the newborn's ear, the aqiqah or shaving the head, are deep spiritual acts that take not only the newborn but also the entire family on a spiritual journey.

In addition, the author also covers the importance of justice and loving discipline in parenting. These principles are firmly anchored in Islamic teachings and form the foundation of a healthy and balanced upbringing that not only shapes the character of the child but also promotes harmony and well-being in the family.
