Healthy Family Relationships
- Allah (SWT) created a deficiency in man that only a woman can fulfill, and a deficiency in woman that only a man can fulfill. The relationship is complementary, not competitive, like the heart and lungs in one body. When Islam granted each of them rights and duties, it was to ensure the completeness of the work. - Many husbands treat children as part of their "personal decor" or have them without a higher purpose than this birth. Children soon become a burden that conflicts with the parents' (personal) projects, including entertainment and "proving oneself" to friends and on social media. Children are left to the dominant culture and moral intellectual invasion. Your children are your greatest project, the true proof of your character, and your ongoing charity after death. Your preoccupation with them turns them into tools to demolish all of this! (Say, 'The losers are those who have lost themselves and their families on the Day of Judgment'). - The strongest fortress of the nation is the family. The efforts of its enemies are directed at dismantling it. Yet, we can preserve and strengthen our families in our homes to be the nuclei of new glory, without letting the arrows of our enemies reach us. While we may do to ourselves what our enemies cannot do to us if we do not fear Allah in our family relationships!
