Guidelines for Raising Children By Darussalam Research Division About the Book: Islam places great emphasis on the child, right from infancy to the age of puberty. the reason for this is to prepare him to become a good member fo the community. chidlern learn more by example than by words. Telling our childern what to do and not showing them by a good example is hypocritical act and drives children to confusion and away from us. It is for this reason we are presenting this booklet as a guide line for those parents who are concerned about their present and future offspring.
