Culture v. Islam: The Faults of Harsh Parenting
January 20, 2023 @ 7:15 pm – 8:30 pm
Research shows that harsh parenting has an indirect effect, as well as a direct effect, on child aggression in the school environment. Studies on discipline show that strict, or authoritarian, child-raising produces kids with lower self-esteem who behave worse than other kids — and therefore get punished more!
This Friday, January 20, Shaykh Yaser Birjas will explain the Faults of Harsh Parenting. He will explain the gentle and Islamic approach to teaching a child good behavior. Sh. Birjas sessions are interactive, fun, educational, and playful. He uses overhead slide shows to engage audience members.
Sh. Birjas will hold a session at MAPS-Redmond, this Friday at 7:15, after Isha prayer. He will also be the Friday khateeb at 1:15 p.m.

About Sh. Yaser Birjas
Shaykh Yaser started his career in Electronic Engineering in the UAE, then in Madinah where he graduated as class Valedictorian with the highest honors from the Islamic University of Madinah’s College of Shari’ah (Fiqh and Usul) in 1996. He learned from various highly respected scholars such as Shaykh Mohammed Amin Al-Shanqiti and Shaykh Al-‘Uthaymin.
In 1997, he went to work as a relief program aide to rebuild war-torn Bosnia. In 2000, he immigrated to the U.S. where he served as an Imam at The Islamic Center in El Paso, Texas and a director of English programs in Da’wah and outreach for the Orland Park Prayer Center. He is currently serving as Imam of the renowned Valley Ranch Islamic Center in Irving, Texas, rapidly establishing himself as an invaluable leader of the Texan Muslim Community. He is also an instructor at AlMaghrib Institute.
His specialty in the subject of marriage and relations made him a highly sought marriage counsellor for the Muslim community, and with four children and much experience, his parenting classes are equally popular. Shaykh Yaser has superb all-round grasp on Islamic sciences and has taught Usul, Fiqh, Financial Literacy, or Relationship classes to many students.
