8.15 PM -The Myth of Parental Obedience: Separating Fact from Tradition
Parental obedience is a pillar of our faith but this is often abused in different cultural traditions, making life very challenging for children. Come learn what traditional Islamic scholars have taught us about parental obligations. Parents, do you know what rights your children have upon you? How can we use the Sunnah to create a household that is full of respect, compassion and love?.
