Millennial Muslims in the West are confronted with unprecedented obstacles in raising Muslim children who are successful in life without jeopardizing their Islamic beliefs and identity. The tremendous pressures of modern life and external societal influences undermine and even ruin Muslim families’ unity. It might be difficult to discover realistic, relevant, and relatable solutions to the challenges that Muslim parents face in various ways. These issues will not go away if they are not addressed. Instead, they will become more entrenched and dangerous to the next generation of Muslim children.
‘My Muslim Family’ seeks to establish a dedicated area for an honest, relevant, and authentic discussion about the issues and experiences of Muslim families. They aim to create a community of Muslim parents who want the same thing: a strong, loving, and Islamic family.
While they intend to foster empathy and understanding among different Muslim families, each with its own set of obstacles, their ultimate goal is to create practical resources and guidelines to assist Muslim parents in navigating specific and oftentimes delicate family concerns.
“Our mission is to create helpful content that supports Muslim parents in their dream to nurture Muslim children who are successful in this world and confident in their Muslim identity.”
