Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Meeting the Challenge of Parenting in the West
Ekram Beshir · 1998
70/100
👍 Worth It
A thoughtful, practical parenting guide that fills a genuine gap for Muslim families navigating life in North America, grounding advice in Quranic principles while staying readable and concrete. The 1998 publication date shows in some cultural references, but the core guidance on faith identity and media influence holds up well for its intended audience.
