Building Blessed Homes

Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem

Our homes are truly blessings, designed to be sanctuaries of peace and safety. As believers, it is imperative that we pay heed to our homes, not only to shield ourselves and our loved ones from the perils of hellfire but also to ward off evil influences, safeguard our children, and, most importantly, contribute to the construction of a thriving Muslim society.

Our societies are composed of households and families, serving as the fundamental building blocks. When these building blocks are solid and grounded in the principles of Allāh, they become impervious to malevolence and serve as the bedrock for a righteous society.
