THE FRIDAY KHUTBAH (SERMON)
THE FAMILY IN ISLAAM
By Abdul Bari Ath Thubayti (Imam of Haram)
-------------------------
The Allah-fearing Muslim family is the heart of a healthy community. The piety of a family is dependant on the piety of individual members of the family, and the piety of a community is likewise dependant on the piety of the families who make up the community.

Islam attaches great importance to the family, how it is established and how to keep it together. For the Muslim family to keep up it’s high position it maintains a state of love and harmony, and you find in it feelings of amicability and Kindness. Allah says, “And among His Signs is this, that He created for you wives from among yourselves, that you may find repose in them, and He has put between you affection and mercy.” He also says, “They are Libaas [i.e. body cover, or screen, or Sakan, (i.e. you enjoy the pleasure of living with her)] for you and you are the same for them.”(Al-Baqarah: 187).

The Qur’an made it clear to married couples that each of them is essential to the other. Allah says, “It is He Who has created you from a single person (Adam), and (then) He has created from him his wife [Hawwa’ (Eve)], in order that he might enjoy the pleasure of living with her.” It cannot be imagined that one could lead a normal, steadfast human life if there was a complete destruction of the normal family structure. read more

THE SMILE
QUICK WIT
------------ 
A police officer in a small town stopped a motorist who was speeding down Main Street. 
"But officer." the man began, "I can explain,". 
"Just be quiet," snapped the officer. "I'm going to let you cool your heels in jail until the chief gets back.." 
"But officer, I just wanted to say..." 
"And I said to keep quiet! You're going to jail!" 
A few hours later the officer looked in on his prisoner and said, "Lucky for you that the chief is at his daughter's wedding. He'll be in a good mood when he gets back." 
"Don't count on it," answered the fellow in the cell. "I'm the groom."
