THE FAMILY IN ISLAAM

By Abdul Bari Ath Thubayti

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 its 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 Quran has 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

"O Allah! Forgive, raise his stage amongst the rightly guided ie the dwellers of Jannah, and him. O Lord of the worlds! Make spacious his Qabr and grant him light in it."

BENEFIT: It comes in a Hadith that the person who is by the side of the Mayyit (DECEASED) should close the eyes of the Mayyit and read this Dua for Him. The angels say Aameen to his Dua.

He calmly came over to me, I gave him a few pats on his head. He then followed me into my house, slowly walked down the hall, curled up in the corner and fell asleep.

An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out.

The next day he was back, greeted me in my yard, walked inside and resumed his spot in the hall and again slept for about an hour. This continued off and on for several weeks.

Curious I pinned a note to his collar: 'I would like to find out who the owner of this wonderful sweet dog is and ask if you are aware that almost every afternoon your dog comes to my house for a nap.'

The next day he arrived for his nap, with a different note pinned to his collar:
'He lives in a home with a non stopping chatting husband, 6 children, 2 under the age of 3 - he's trying to catch up on his sleep. Can I come with him tomorrow?
