In the age of smartphones, YouTube, TikTok, video games, and AI, parenting is more complex than ever. Muslim parents are now tasked with not only raising children but guiding their fitrah (natural disposition) through a world full of distractions, misinformation, and moral confusion.
Islam provides timeless principles that can help navigate this age—when applied with wisdom, consistency, and love.

1. Parenting Is a Trust (Amanah)

Believers, guard yourselves and your families against a Fire that is fueled by people and rocks.— Surah At-Tahrim 66:6

Key Principle: Caring for a child goes beyond physical safety—it includes guiding their spiritual, emotional, and intellectual journey
Digital Application: Don’t hand over a smartphone without spiritual supervision. Know what they’re consuming. Just as you wouldn’t let your child walk alone into a dangerous place, don’t let them roam unsupervised online.

2. Teach Tawheed and Values Early

When Luqman was guiding his son, he said: ‘O my child, never associate others with Allah, as this is a tremendous wrong— Surah Luqman 31:13

The entire passage of Surah Luqman (31:12–19) is a parenting blueprint: Tawheed (Oneness of Allah),Gratitude, Prayer, Humility, Respect for parents, Avoiding arrogance and loudness
Key Principle: Teach values before technology teaches them something else.
Digital Application: Children are naturally curious. They’ll seek answers—so be their first teacher about identity, sexuality, purpose, and right vs wrong—before YouTube or influencers step in.
