In this insightful episode of the Tarbiyah Project podcast, we delve into the art of intentional parenting. In this multi-part podcast, you will discover how to nurture your child's faith, character, and connection to Allah through purposeful actions and mindful guidance.

If you take away only 3 things from this podcast:

1. Time won’t wait — be present now. Milestones like dropping a child off at school remind us how quickly years pass. Parenting without intention risks waking up one day realizing decades slipped by with little meaningful connection.

2. Fear-based parenting backfires. Many Muslim parents default to warnings and punishments, but parenting rooted in fear creates distance. Love, attachment, and modeling a hopeful relationship with Allah build lasting faith and trust.

3. Your connection shapes your child’s faith. A child’s first experience of love, belonging, and acceptance comes from parents. That relationship strongly influences how they perceive Allah and Islam.

Intentional parenting means cultivating emotional presence and accountability to nurture both hearts and deen. Whether you're a new parent or seeking to strengthen your parenting approach, this episode offers valuable insights to help you raise children who are grounded in faith and strong in character.
