This event is for both men and women. \nSr Hosai’s wealth of knowledge runs deep\, as an mental health advocate and relationships\, and someone who has been working within the Islamic community for over 25 years\, mashaa’Allah!⁠\n \nParenting is undeniably one of the most rewarding and simultaneously challenging experiences in this life. It is both a gift with unmeasured benefits\, as well as an immense understanding and responsibility from God. Islamic parenting is centered in devotion to God and predicated entirely on Qur’anic and Prophetic guidance – both of which are universal and timeless. In this three-part series\, we will cover some of the sunnah\, and relate them to the most common and relevant parenting challenges of our time. \nThe course will run every Sunday for the next three weeks\, at 11:30 a.m. PST. Each class will be two hour\, with a Q&A afterwards. It is free and it will be recorded and is available for viewing afterwards at https://mcceastbay.org/parenting\n \nLesson 1: Intentional Parenting\nThe importance of preparedness and education before marriage and parenthood. Understanding parenting beyond commercialization\, and seeing it as an act of worship for the sake of Allah. Seeking refuge in Allah often to align one’s intentions as a parent with God-consciousness and reliance on Him. \nLesson 2: Prophetic Parenting\nThe importance of parents actively learning the seerah/sunnah and how to model their behavior after the Beloved. Creating a family culture devoted to every member of the family developing a strong character based on the prophetic model. Learning healthy communication skills from the prophetic model\, which are designed to prevent miscommunication\, hostility\, and disrespect. \nLesson 3: Balanced & Active Parenting\nThe importance of parents understanding what Islamic parental authority is defined by. Knowing the difference between authoritative vs. authoritarian parenting\, as well as negligent parenting where children are overly coddled\, excessively spoiled\, or have little to no oversight. \nThe importance of parents understanding that they must always be vigilant\, steadfast\, and\, no matter what challenges they endure\, must put their trust in Allah and practice perpetual gratitude. Understand that trials and tribulations are part and parcel of this world. Parents must be focused\, proactive\, and resourceful – shepherds tending to the flock – at all times. \nAbout Your Instructor\n\nUstadha Hosai Mojaddidi has been serving the American Muslim community for over 25 years as a teacher\, public speaker\, author/writer\, spiritual counselor and mental health advocate.
