Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The Child in Islam
Norma Tarazi · 1995
65/100
👎 Skip It
For its intended audience — Muslim parents, especially converts — this fills a real gap, and the practical breadth from newborn care through family and community dynamics is genuinely useful. But the study-group origins show in the depth: this reads more like organized conversation than authoritative research, and the 1995 date means some cultural and demographic context is thirty years stale. Worthwhile as a foundational reference if nothing more current is available, but readers should know its limits.
