๐INSPIRING GEMS & HIGHLIGHTS
Course Goals : to ignite communities that benefit humanity
๐ญ Building the Righteous Family the Ideal Way. Where do we begin? What’s the first step to building a house?
Most people would say the first thing is to lay the foundations. Some might talk about raising the pillars. But the first step starts before that: we need a blueprint. What kind of house do you want to build?
Likewise: You need a VISION that inspires you!
Starting a family begins with having a picture in your head of the world you wish to see, on the day you are on your deathbed.
๐ Marriage is barakah - but it needs a society that raises mature boys and girls
๐ฏ 5 Core Objectives of Raising a Righteous Family
1. Follow Allah’s command (an ibadah)
2. Following the sunnah of the Prophet ๏ทบ
3. Having Children - as a sadaqatul jariah (continuous charity) to benefit the ummah and humanity in the long term
4. To help us stay away from Haram: Marriage is the means to protect our honor and chastity
5. Assisting One Another: work together and one another upon goodness and righteousness.
๐ ️ It all boils down to one simple objective: Building Jannah, TOGETHER. Always keep this Goal in mind!
๐ซ The first educational institution a human being will go through is their PARENTS. Listen up, young people: your parents aren’t old school, they are ORIGINAL school
๐๐ผPractice more LISTENING in the household: Acknowledge each other’s feelings, and provide that psychological safety.
A tightly knit family is one that enjoys emotional security inside, to one another.
๐ Appreciation and Gratitude - put in the effort to express gestures of genuine gratitude to one another. You may not recognize this but it has a HUGE impact.
๐ฅ Resolving conflicts - Some pointers:
1. YOU need to take the first step. Put ego aside! Remember your purpose in life: You are reconciling for the Sake of Pleasing Allah - not for the sake of that person.
2. Conflict demands patience, wisdom and emotional maturity - Be methodical, be systematic. Use that prefrontal cortex, don’t allow your emotions to compromise your good judgment
3. Focus on the core of the problem, not just attacking the symptoms
4. Don’t forget the role that SHAITAN plays, behind the scenes: planting seeds of hatred and enmity, and induces waswas - overthinking, exaggeration, to paralyze you from taking action
๐ช Raising a righteous family might seem like a steep hill to climb. Focus on PROGRESS, not perfection. Allah wants to see you taking those baby steps. When you put in a little bit of effort, Allah will open doors of barakah (blessings) for you!
