After extending all thanks to Allah the Almighty and saying the
praises unto the PROPHET Muhammad PBUH, we ask the peace
and blessings of Allah unto his cherished companions, entire
household and all those who shall follow their footsteps till the day
of accountability. We further thank Allah for the mercy of Islam.
We ask Allah to forgive our shortcomings and continue to guide us
on the right path. We again seek the refuge against shaitan and the
lust of our souls. Ameen.
Today happens to be a Saturday, the 14th of the month of Shaw’wal
1441 A.H *(after migration to Madinah) same as the (6th of the
month of June 2020. We are with this opportunity asking Allah to
heal the world from the pandemic of COVID 19. Ameen. We pray
to see another Ramadan.
Today's topic shall be "Establishing A peaceful home from an Islamic
point of view"
Establishing A peaceful home from an Islamic point of view
ESTABLISHING A
PEACEFUL HOME
FROM AN ISLAMIC
POINT OF VIEW
THE HOME IS A BLESSING
Allah says “And Allah has made for you in your
homes an abode." Quran 16:80
Ibn kathir said: here Allah, may He be blessed and
exalted, is mentioning His complete blessing to His
slaves: He has given them homes which are peaceful
abode for them, to which they retreat as a haven
which covers them and gives them all kinds of
benefits.
What does home represent to us?
Is it not the place where we eat, enjoy intimacy with
our spouse, sleep and rest? Is it not the place where
we can be alone and can meet with our partners and
children? Is the home not the place that offers cover
and protection to women?
ALLAH says "And stay in your houses, and do not
display your selves like that of the times of ignorance"
Quran 33:33
If you think about those who are homeless, who live
in shelters, on streets or as refugees scattered in
temporary camps, then you will realize the blessing
of having a home. If you listen to a distressed
homeless person saying, “I have nowhere to settle, no
fixed place to stay. Sometimes I sleep in so and so's
house. Sometimes in a cafe or park, I keep my clothes
in my car”, then you will realize the disruption that
results from not having the blessing of a home.
When Allah punished the Jews of Banu Nadir, He
took away this blessing and expelled them from
their homes, as He said: "He it is Who drove out the
disbelievers among the people of the scripture ( the news
of Nanny al-Nadir from their homes at the first
gathering".
Considering the importance of a home, there are
many reasons and motives for a believer to pay
attention to putting his home in order.
Protection: Protecting Himself and his family from
the fire and keeping them safe from the burning
punishment. Allah says: "O you who believe! Ward
off from yourselves and your families a fire (hell)
whose fuel is men and stones..." Quran 66:6
The greatest responsibility is borne by the head of
the house on the day of reckoning (LAST day)
THE prophet says: "Allah will ask every shepherd
(or responsible person) about his flock (those of
whom he was responsible), whether he took care of
it or neglected it, until He asks a man about his
household. The home is a place to protect oneself,
to keep away from evil and to keep one's own evil
from people.
The safety of a man at times of fitnah (calamity) is in
his staying home, Prophet Muhammad PBUH said.
COVID19 IS A GOOD EXAMPLE. STAY HOME,
STAY SAFE.
Ask if you did not have a home? WHAT WOULD
HAVE BEEN YOUR CONDITION?
People usually spend most of their time at home,
especially when it is very hot or cold, when it is
raining, early or late in the day and after finishing
work or school. So, this time should be spent in
serving Allah otherwise it will be spent in
wrongdoing.
Above all, paying attention to the home is the most
important means of building a “Muslim society”,

Above all, paying attention to the home is the most

Establishing A peaceful home from an Islamic point of view
because the society is formed of the households and
families that forms its building blocks. Households
and neighbors form societies.
If the building blocks are sound, the society will be
based on the laws of Allah, standing firm in the face
of enemies and filled with goodness that evil cannot
penetrate. Then “Muslim homes” will produce
pillars of society who will reform and guide it a right,
such as exemplary callers, seekers of knowledge,
sincere wives, caring mothers and all other types of
reformers.
Since we now understand the importance of a
home, and knowing most of our homes are full of
shortcomings and evils and examples of negligence,
this leads to the Question
WHAT ARE WAYS OF
REFORMING OUR HOMES?
This brings us to our topic "Establishing A
peaceful home from Islamic point of view"
If you want to have a home not a house, then follow
this topic with keen interest In sha Allah
Muslims should focus their efforts on reviving the
“Muslim home”.
The topic shall revolve under two things
• Achieving our interests: which is by
establishing that which is right and good and
warding off evil by removing that which can
cause it or bring it into our homes
• Formation of the home not house:
Making a good choice when choosing a
partner. Having a righteous partner is a
blessing and source of happiness whereas
an evil ill-mannered partner is misery. Make
sure you select a righteous and suitable
partner. Just imagine having a monster who
is not religious partner? How would your
condition be? Example, During the
lockdown and Ramadan, who leads who in
prayer? Due to social distancing, who leads
who during Eid prayer in our homes? These
are mere questions. Let us pause here and
open the actual chapter next time on
building a home not a house by choosing
the right partner. Who is the right partner?
How do you make such a choice? Blabla
Build a home not a house.
This topic is of much importance to us all. If we want
to solve the social canker, this topic "Establishing A
peaceful home from Islamic point of view" is the solution.
We shall meet again!
As Salamu Alaikum.
