A Woman's Guide to Raising a Family

Shaikh Salih Al-Fawzan | Hikmah Publications

The rulings and regulations of Islam have come to organize the family and to protect it from breaking up, like the rulings of marriage and divorce, polygamy, the rights of the fathers and mothers, and there are many other examples besides this. All of these guidelines indicate the primary station that Islam has given to the family. This is because it is the place where generations are raised and cultivated, and the future of this nation depends upon the condition of the family. Indeed the woman is the backbone of the family, as is said “Behind every great person there is a woman in whose home they were raised.”
