In recent decades, the Muslim community in the United States has become increasingly diverse, with Latino Muslims emerging as one of the fastest-growing groups.
Muslim parents have an obligation to teach their children about Islam. There are a wide variety of ways to venture down that road by enrolling in classes, hiring a tutor, watching videos or educational television programming.
If you are a Muslim parent, chances are that you have experienced an embarrassing moment with one or more of your children at the masjid. Perhaps you took your toddler to Jummuah prayer, a community event, or a lecture.
As we become parents, one of the greatest challenges that we have is raising our children to be good Muslims. My wife and I are Muslim converts and have made it our mission to expand our knowledge and understanding of this beautiful religion.
In a typical household setting or school environment, we often hear admirable remarks such as “great job,” “well done,'' “I'm so proud of you!”. These happen to occur when you appreciate a child for doing something good.
