Someone who accepts the Qur'an as his guide acts towards his
parents, other family members and everyone around him with
mercy and compassion. He will invite his relatives, friends and

other acquaintances to live according to the teachings of the Qur'an,
because Allah commands those with faith to start telling those close
to them about Islam:
Warn your near relatives. (Surat ash-Shu'ara': 214)
There is always happiness and joy in a family that lives accord-
ing to the teachings of the Qur'an as manifest in the Sunnah of the
Messenger, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. The kind of
shouting, arguments and disrespect we see in some disintegrating
families today could never happen in a community of believers. In
such a community, everyone takes great pleasure in being with his
family. Children treat their par-
ents with respect and love them
with all their heart. Families
regard children as trusts
from Allah and look after
them. When we say the
word "family", warmth,
love, security and mutual

support come to mind.
But it is useful to point
out again that this excel-
lent state can only be
reached through living
faithfully and completely
in Islam and through
having fear of and love
for Allah.
