About this lecture

In this heartfelt talk, Sheikh Saad Tasleem addresses the challenge Muslim parents face in raising teenagers — urging them to step back, give their children space, and place their trust in Allah rather than reacting with fear and control. Drawing on personal reflections, real-life counseling experiences, and Quranic wisdom, he reminds both parents and teenagers of the importance of empathy, realistic expectations, and tawakkul in navigating this critical stage of life.
