Description
Children in today’s world are bombarded with information at an ever-decreasing age and from an ever-increasing number of directions. From what they see on TV, hear on the news, experience online and discuss with their school friends, much of what they are exposed to is from a secular and sometimes Islamophobic background. Unfortunately, the effect this can have is to create serious doubt regarding their faith, with which they have not yet developed a strong, personal relationship.
As Muslim parents, it is our duty to be proactive and have the courage to talk to our children about these challenging socio-religious topics. By introducing these topics in a safe environment and opening their eyes to the beauty and complexities of Islam their faith will be strengthened, their relationship with us will be based on open and honest communication, and they will be prepared for the wider world. We’ve prepared these high-quality books to help you in tackling some of these contemporary issues that young people have to deal with.
The Author
Dr Abdul Qader Ismail received his medical degree and MA at the University of Oxford, before training as a paediatrician with a special interest in neonatal medicine. He has always had a keen interest in research and is currently doing a PhD at the University of Leicester. This book has been his most challenging to date, bringing together complex and sometimes controversial topics that have required extensive reading and reflection. Despite this, he was driven to write a book that would help young Muslims understand the modern world in light of their faith and be able to engage in debate regarding sensitive topics, confident in the knowledge that Allah and His Prophet (peace be upon him) have provided us with guidance within the Qur’an, the Sunnah, and Ijma (consensus) of the scholars, for any and all challenges.
