Based on her popular 1997 parenting article "Raising Children with Deen and Dunya," Hina Khan-Mukhtar gives spiritual and practical insights road-mapping ten ingredients to raise God-conscious children in the West:

1.) Dua, Dua, Dua
2.) Suhba (companionship) will make you or break you.
3.) The Prophet (salallaahu alaihi wasallam) was a living, breathing reality in our lives.
4.) Having fun wasn’t “haraam” in our home, but we kept the home environment as pure as possible.
5.) Our parents didn’t just “talk the talk”, they “walked the walk”.
6.) I wasn’t afraid to be the Bad Guy, but I never behaved badly.
7.) I always kept them close by.
9.) Talk to your kids…with love.
8.) We didn’t spoil our kids nor did we praise them too much.
10.) They had a pious father who engaged them.
