Parents Book Club

Discover the joy of insightful conversations by participating in our complimentary, monthly discussions centered around books carefully selected from our recommended reading list for parents. Our book club encompasses a diverse range of subjects including parenting, education, homeschooling, Adab, and much more.

We believe that nurturing a passion for learning within our children begins with setting an example. By actively engaging in reading ourselves, we inspire our children to embark on their own journeys of discovery. Furthermore, we recognize the importance of fostering a culture of continuous education within our homes, which extends to the dedicated educators guiding our children's growth.

Join us as we delve into the pages of thought-provoking books, exchanging perspectives and insights that enrich our understanding of these vital topics. Together, let's pave the way for a future where a love for learning is not only nurtured but celebrated. Your presence and participation contribute to building a community that values education, empathy, and growth.

Embark on this enriching journey with us, as we illuminate the path to a brighter, more knowledgeable future for both ourselves and our children.

We encourage all families, homeschooling or not, to join the First Command Book Club. This is an invaluable resource, giving us the ability to read the classics and discuss them from an Islamic lense. The First Command Book Club is part of the 12,000 Strong campaign of Zaytuna College- America’s First Muslim Liberal Arts College.
