In today’s secular world, how can we, as parents of young children, impart upon them the same love for Allah and His Prophet that our parents gifted us, that will help nurture them to be practicing Muslims and good people? This book is meant to serve as a resource for parents, to teach our children basic aspects of our faith. It will also help us delve deeper, so our children gain an understanding of the Divine Wisdom behind these tenants and the everyday things we say and do. There are over 50 short chapters, including: · Allah – the One, True God · What did the Prophet (peace be upon him) look like? · Qur’an – the final Revelation · How should we spend our time? · Learning to control our anger · How should we treat our neighbours? · How important is it to tell the truth? · Mash’Allah – being happy for others and not feeling jealous · What will happen to good Muslims after they die? Each chapter is written in easy to understand English, with questions and activities to help enhance reflection and understanding.

From the front page of The New York Times to YouTube, Dr. Wafa Sultan has become a force radical Islam has to reckon with. For the first time, she tells her story and what she learned, first-hand, about radical Islam in A God Who Hates, a passionate memoir by an outspoken Arabic woman that is also a cautionary tale for the West. She grew up in Syria in a culture ruled by a god who hates women. "How can such a culture be anything but barbarous?", Sultan asks. "It can't", she concludes "because any culture that hates its women can't love anything else." She believes that the god who hates is waging a battle between modernity and barbarism, not a battle between religions. She also knows that it's a battle radical Islam will lose. Condemned by some and praised by others for speaking out, Sultan wants everyone to understand the danger posed by A God Who Hates.

Begins by offering a reading of Islamic sources, interpreting them for a Western context. The author demonstrates how an understanding of universal Islamic principles can open the door to integration into Western societies. He then shows how these principles can be put to practical use.
