The Muslim Home 40 Recommendations

The home is a blessing. Allaah Says (what means): "And Allaah has made for you in your homes an abode…" [QUR'AAN 16:80] Ibn Katheer, may Allaah have mercy on him, said: “Here Allaah, may He be blessed and exalted, is mentioning His complete blessing to His slaves: He has given them homes which are a peaceful abode for them, to which they retreat as a haven which covers them and gives them all kinds of benefits.” What does the home represent to each one of us? Is it not the place where a person eats, enjoys intimacy with his wife, sleeps and rests? Is it not the place where he can be alone and can meet with his wife and children? Is the home not the place that offers cover and protection to women? Allaah tells us (what means): "And stay in your houses, and do not display yourselves like that of the times of ignorance…" [QUR'AAN 33:33]
