	A Guide to Parenting Muhammad Abdul Bari The prevailing materialist educational system and the absence of strong community have endangered the future of Muslims in the Western countries. In recent decades, increasing numbers of Muslims have become desperate, because they think they are 'losing' their children in the sea of permissive culture. Apart from the overwhelming pull of amoral secular culture, the main problem seems to lie in our general ignorance, apathy and 'poor parenting.' This book attempts to address the issue in a holistic way from an Islamic perspective. It is the result of a thrice run online course on parenting offered by the virtual school of an Internet-based organization, Witness Pioneer, in 2000-02. The same course was run separately on the Salaam web site of London. 283 pages Paperback A5 ISBN 1 842000 44 6 £ 8.50   Quantity:
