Oh, devotees of the Messenger! Islam is such an admirable religion, its rulings are easy to follow, and it contains an entire system for living our lives. Within this, a deed may be small, but contain a huge amount of reward. From the moment a child is conceived in the womb of the mother, up until their admission into the grave, the entirety of every affair has been organized in a faultless system, known as Islam. Laws and rulings concerning every field of life can be found within. Feeding milk to a child, then weaning them off milk, nurturing them, education, careers and jobs, marriage, happiness and sadness, being wealthy or poor, being a king or dignitary, being one who abstains from the delights of this world, or one who is married with children, Islam contains detailed laws and rulings pertaining to each and every field of life, and each and every person. Alongside this, however, the rulings issued by Islam are extremely easy to enact, and each individual is able to act upon them comfortably. Islamic laws are extremely solidified, complete and not subject to any form of change or distortion, and no other example of such a system can be found anywhere else.

Islam and the household structure

Dear Islamic brothers! The religion of Islam contains a unique quality, that in each and every one of its rulings and laws, it does not insert notions of discrimination against anyone, or lower the importance of anyone, or attempt to remove anybody’s identity. In line with this, Islam has established such sturdy rules for domestic/household affairs, that by acting upon them, not only does the household become firmly rooted and peaceful, but the entire society at large. This is because each respective household makes up a foundational portion of society, so if the household is strong, then society itself becomes strengthened.

Where Islam has made it to be forbidden for children to even say ‘Uff’ in front of their parents, in the same place, it has placed the responsibility of raising children correctly upon the parents also, and stated: Each one of you are custodians (appointed responsibilities),
