The journey of parenthood is filled with beauty, fulfillment, many struggles, and immense reward. From the moment our children are born, we have high aspirations for them and picture our homes being filled with love, support, and harmony.
As we know, achieving such noble goals is not without its challenges, but is indeed worth every ounce of effort. Thankfully you do not have to do it alone. The Muslim American Society of NY is excited to introduce the Muslim Parent Support Network (MPSN)!
In sha Allah, MPSN will connect members to educational resources, mentorship, access to programs, events, social services, spiritual growth, and a network of devoted parents and amazing individuals just like you that are striving to achieve loving homes and raise the next generation of ideal Muslims by the will of Allah ﷻ.

IDEAL PARENTING
Parenting encompasses the comprehensive process of nurturing, supporting, and developing children to reach their highest potential in all facets of life. This process includes fulfilling their baseline necessities, such as food, shelter, and safety. Beyond that are vital areas such as their emotional, psychological, and spiritual development.
In Islam, we consistently find reminders and commands from Allah ﷻ regarding the importance of instilling moral values such as compassion, honesty, and respect for others in our children. This requires nurturing Islamically-oriented individuals who understand the goal of their existence, aim to please Allah, seek His guidance, live the comprehensive meaning of worship, and embody the qualities of sincere and dedicated Muslims.
They become bearers of the message and individuals devoted to Islam’s mission through a deep understanding of its highest ideals, objectives, and intents. These values should then manifest into them becoming positive agents of change that are self-motivated individuals who put their beliefs and thoughts into action; proactively seeking ways to improve themselves and positively impact others around them. They are also lifelong learners who have a strong passion for knowledge and self-growth. They gain literacy in core Islamic sciences, pursue knowledge in diverse areas (self-development, raising a family, civic engagement, professional achievement, etc.), and gain practical skills essential for their lives and the future families that they will lead in sha Allah.
Helping our children attain these qualities requires an intentional approach, focus, patience, determination, and a diverse set of strategies and efforts that are always evolving and growing. They also require a parent’s own spiritual, cognitive, and emotional growth in order to be able to impart them to their children as well.
