What is the Islamic way to keep a teenage girl away from deviance?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Islamic upbringing begins early, even before birth, by choosing a good mother. To raise an adolescent girl, she should be dealt with in a manner different from children. Her person should not be belittled, nor should her opinions be dismissed. Instead, incorrect ideas should be discussed with a calm dialogue. Parents should dedicate more time to her, give her an opportunity to express herself, and listen more than they speak. She must feel her family's love and mercy so that she is filled with tenderness and avoids emotional emptiness, which undesirable parties might exploit. Parents must cut off means of deviance from her; she should not be allowed to watch satellite channels or browse the internet except under their supervision, nor should she own a mobile phone, nor should she be allowed to be alone with non-mahram men, all while using a wise approach. A diverse and beneficial library should be provided under the supervision of seekers of knowledge.
