| Summary: | The relationship between the parents and their children has become strained in recent
times. They no longer understand each other. The Holy Quran is an eternal book that
deals with the issues facing the human beings. To address such problematic relationship,
the Quran narrates many stories of the prophets and the righteous people that deal with
such topic, and points to essential values that they, as parents, tried to instill in their
children. This study has been divided into five chapters that deal with the topic from two
aspects. The first is a theoretical aspect where Quranic verses relevant to the topic were
identified and explained. The second is a practical aspect where a questionnaire has been
specifically designed for, and applied on, a sample of parents at Hamad bin Khalid AI
Thani foundation for Quranic teaching in Qatar, in order to assess their awareness of these
values, and to evaluate the children's issues. This study is distinguished from previous
studies in that it dealt with the relationship between the parents and the children only, and
with its emphasis on the practical aspect of the issue. The problem and the questions of
this study were: What were the values that the parents tried to instill in their children
according to the Quranic text? How much of these values do the parents possess in real
life nowadays (extracted from the reality of the parents in Hamad Bin Khalid AI Thani
foundation for Quranic teaching in Qatar)? What were the issues that the parents and
children faced? And what were the proposed solutions? The study aimed to present
adequate answers to these issues and questions, by highlighting the formative and social
values adopted by the parents in raising their children, by evaluating the reality of the
parents and their share of knowledge and possession of these values, by revealing the major
issues the parents face when raising their children, and by proposing adequate solutions to
those issues. The study has adopted multiple approaches to achieve its aims, vis: the inductive approach to traces all the Quranic stories that deal with the relationship of the
parents with their children, the deductive approach to extract and deduce such values, the
analytical approach to break and link the elements of the topic, and finally by the
descriptive approach to collect the data from the study sample. The study has arrived at
two important conclusions. One is that there exist in these stories Quranic values that can
treat the troubled relationship between parents and children in our contemporary time and
can treat the children's problems and raise them up to be good humans. The other
conclusion is that this study is crucially needed in order to renew the religious discourse
to make it more acceptable by the recipients.
