Raising My Child with Islam


In his video, Nouman Ali Khan addresses the challenge faced by Muslim communities in countries like the United States, Europe, Canada, and Australia, where Muslims are a minority.

He emphasizes the importance of creating Islamic centers, schools, and youth projects to nurture children in an Islamic environment. Drawing from his business and management background, Khan stresses the necessity of setting clear goals in such educational endeavors.

He explains that without a clear goal, efforts can become misguided, akin to businesses investing in impractical ventures or individuals pursuing political ambitions without a coherent strategy.

Khan urges parents and educators to ensure that Islamic education prepares children not just for ritualistic practices like prayer and dietary laws but equips them to navigate the complexities and challenges of the modern world, including exposure to different ideologies and moral dilemmas.

He emphasizes fostering strong parent-child connections based on understanding and communication to counter feelings of alienation or disconnect that can lead children astray despite outward adherence to religious practices.

Through this approach, Khan advocates for a holistic education that integrates religious teachings with practical life skills and emotional resilience, preparing children to uphold their faith confidently amidst diverse societal influences.
