Parenthood plays a crucial role in the early years of child development and well-being. Both Parents have significant roles in the family, community, and society. Giving the children a good environment along with noble values will result in a good upbringing and healthy living. This study aimed to determine the impact of Islamic values on child-rearing and its contribution to peace-building in the community. This is also to examine the perceptions of the two categories of parents regarding the influence of Islamic principles on parental values. The researchers used qualitative research through oral interviews with selected Muslim parents from Marawi City and Iligan City. This study gathers data through face-to-face interviews with fifty (50) respondents through self-constructed questionnaires and fifty (50) respondents from the online survey via semi-structured questionnaires. It is construed that; first, the right to provision and protection of children is until adulthood; second, parenting styles as well as their personalities have a great impact on the behavioral pattern of the children; lastly, religious factors and supervised education (secular and Islamic) are the major factors in producing a good person.
