The family is the first place children encounter Islamic teachings and begin forming the attitudes that guide their everyday lives. Yet studies of Nabawi parenting and studies of family communication have mostly stayed on separate tracks, leaving little guidance for Muslim families trying to parent well in a digital environment. This study looks at both together: the principles behind Nabawi parenting, the affective communication that runs through it, and how the two might be brought into one workable framework. Data came from a literature review paired with in-depth interviews with three Muslim parents, analyzed through content analysis, thematic synthesis, and conceptual mapping. What emerged was a picture of Nabawi parenting grounded in parental example, compassion, respectful dialogue, and the everyday cultivation of tawhid with emotional closeness growing wherever parents made time together, listened attentively, and guided their children's digital-media use through conversation rather than control. These findings are drawn together into the Nabawi-Dialogic Parenting Model (NDPM), which connects prophetic values, affective communication, and reflective digital guidance to support Muslim family resilience.
