Meeting the Challenge of Parenting in the West: An Islamic Perspective
Author: Dr. Ekram Beshir and Mohamed Rida Beshir
I cannot remember ever having enjoyed a book—other than the Qu’ran—as much as I enjoyed reading Meeting the Challenge of Parenting in the West: An Islamic Perspective by Dr. Ekram and Mohamed Rida Beshir.
I speak as a happily married husband for over one-third of a century, as a father of four daughters, and as a grandfather of eight grandsons. There are many things to be said about this book. First, it is fun to read. Second, it offers a wealth of knowledge about Islam and human relationships. Third, it provides extremely relevant and vital information in simple language that makes a great deal of sense.
This small volume touches the mind and heart of the reader. It is essential, not only for parents, but for anyone who deals with human beings.I feel that this book should be required reading for young men and women who plan to get married, for counselors of all types and specialties, and for any professional who relies on effective relationships with people for professional success. It should be required reading in premarital counseling, in any parenting program, and in any continued marital education.
Meeting the Challenge of Parenting in the West: An Islamic Perspective fulfills a great need at a level far beyond my expectations. One of the many beauties of the book is the real life model of the authors’ family that proves, and augments the educational material contained therein. May Allah bless and reward the Beshir family for such a wonderful contribution.
