Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Parent-Child Relations
Hisham Altalib · 2013
72/100
👍 Worth It
Altalib and co-authors have produced a genuinely comprehensive Islamic parenting guide that doesn't just cite the Quran and call it done — it actually engages with contemporary child development research on character, self-confidence, and life skills. For Muslim parents, this is a serious and well-structured resource. Readers outside the Islamic tradition will find the faith framework a poor fit, but within its intended audience it earns its praise from the Wisconsin Muslim Journal.
✦ Penny’s Take — this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read — not a page-by-page personal one. The gold ✓ Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
⚠ Parent note — our reviewers flagged: Explicitly Islamic theological framework throughout. We still scored it 72; these are context for your family, not an automatic skip.
