FAMILY CONFLICTS and CHILDREN
---------------------------------------------

by Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid

It is rare for people to live together under one roof without any arguments, but reconciliation is better and correcting oneself is a virtue. What shakes the unity of the family and harms its infrastructure is when conflicts are brought out into the open before the members of the family, who then split into two or more opposing camps, not to mention the psychological harm that is done to children, especially little ones.

Think about a home where the father says to the child, "Do not speak to your mother," and the mother says to him, "Do not speak to your father." The child is confused and filled with turmoil, and the entire family lives in an atmosphere of hostility. We should try to avoid conflict, but if it happens, we should try to hide it. We ask Allaah to create
love between our hearts... Ameen

The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "The likeness of a bad companion is like the one who works the bellows." (from a report narrated by Abu Dawood, 4829).

According to a report narrated by al-Bukhaari, he said, "the one who works the bellows will burn your house or your clothes, or you will smell a bad odour from him." (Reported by al-Bukhaari, al-Fath, 4/323).

Indeed, he will burn your home with all kinds of corruption and evil. How often has the entry of corrupt and suspicious people into a home been the cause of enmity among the family members, or of division between husband and wife. Allaah curses the one who turns a wife against her husband, or a husband against his wife, or causes enmity between a father and his children. This is how Sihr (magic, witchcraft) is brought into people's homes, why things are sometimes stolen, and why so often morals are corrupted: it is because a person whose commitment to Islam is no good is admitted into the home. We must not let such people in, even if they are neighbours, men or women, and even if they appear to be friendly. Some people keep quiet out of embarrassment, and if they see such a person at the door, they let him in, even though they know this is one of the corrupt people. read more

Tauba (repentance) is compulsory with its three requisites:

a) Knowledge of sin

b) Rrepentance for sin

c) and giving up of sin in the future.

Tauba is compulsory after the commission of a sin. As a believer can understand that sin is harmful, he who does not give up sin gives up a portion of faith. The following Hadith proves it:

"When a man commits fornication he commits it whilst he is not a believer."

Fornication is injurious like poison. It is not apparently known to him. At the time of committing the act of fornication, he loses his Imaan (faith). That act of fornication is injurious and it keeps him away from Allah, as he who knows the effect of poison, cannot accept it.
