Dr. Abdallah Rothman discusses the approach to holistic education at Cambridge Muslim College, where transformative co-curricular activities redefine education. Archery, horse riding, coffee workshops, and nature walks, unveiling the extraordinary impact these experiences have on personal growth, shaping individuals with changed hearts and enriched minds. Raising Muslim children in an increasingly secular world presents many challenges. As parents how do we balance our family and Islamic values with the competing values of peers and the larger secular society? What does Islamic tradition teach us about parenting and what guidance is there for us to understand what we need to do in order to balance our roles as parents in relation to God, self, and society? In this video, Dr. Abdallah Rothman shares guidance and practical tips to assist us in becoming self-aware parents and to help navigate the challenges of parenting Muslim children in today’s rapidly changing world. *A PDF handout referenced in the lecture is included in the description on Youtube. 
Adolescence to early adulthood is a natural time of self exploration and discovery that shapes who a person will become. When young people lack the right resources to support them through this developmental stage, it can create imbalances that affect their character, motivations and behavior. Research shows that meeting young people where they are and supporting them from within the lens of their worldview is the most effective way to reach them and positively impact their development.
