tions, and, because they do not rest on mutual love and respect, this
negative tendency is then widespread.

Meeting with Friends
One habit that most housewives in the societies of ignorance
could not live without is what they call their “day out,” when they
meet together with friends for a meal. Surely it is a blessing for a per-
son to come together with her friends and host them. However, it is

very important that these gatherings become the times during
which love and respect are expressed, friendships are solidified, and
the name of Allah is remembered. However, they turn out to be
meetings in which just a contrary morality is displayed. Usually at
such gatherings, it is sufficient for women of the ignorant society to
lift their spirits merely to receive a compliment about a cake they
baked, but, if their husbands do not give them permission to attend
one of these meetings, they would stay miserable for weeks. This
demonstrates just how petty and narrow is the world of these peo-

ple in question. The kind of conversation, and other things that hap-
pen during this kind of meeting, is far from being of any use to them
for the Afterlife. In fact, such meetings usually draw them towards
this world. Instead of reminding them about the world to come, the
greatness of Allah Who created all things, and to live according to
the moral standards commanded in the Qur’an, these meetings are
full of idle chatter, arguments and banal criticisms. They do not

judge what is good about each other according to the Qur’an; on the
contrary, their praise for one another is usually insincere, far re-
moved from their genuine convictions. They do not judge others ac-
cording to how well they practice the moral teachings of the Qur’an.
