Educating Children

Educating Children is a translation and commentary of Imam Muhammad al-Ramlī’s classic poem Riyāḍatul Ṣibyān, covering topics on child-rearing such as the importance of good company, etiquette of speech, and cultivating good manners. In this book, Shaykh Abdul Aziz Ahmed offers personal reflections and discussion points for each topic, drawing from his extensive background in Islamic studies and postgraduate research in education and psychology. Blending classical wisdom with contemporary insights, this is an invaluable book for Muslim parents and educators, and shows how traditional Islamic teachings can be used to nurture the moral, intellectual and spiritual development of young children today.
