Rules of a Muslim Home

In the present era of trials and tribulations, with evil and fitnah surrounding us in every direction, there is no better sanctuary for a Muslim than his home.

Once a Sahaabi asked Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم for the key to success? Among other advices, Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم said to him: "Let your home be sufficient for you." As far as possible one should remain in one's home.

The home is a place of peace for a believer. However, in order to make the home a sanctuary and a place of peace, there has to be certain rules and regulations governing the home. If these rules and guidelines are adhered to correctly, the home will Insha Allah become a place of peace and tranquillity.

This book is a compilation of articles that were published in the Al-Jamiat newsletter many years ago. In total, sixteen articles were prepared and published over a number of years. Our honourable ustaaz, Hadhrat Moulana Ilyaas Patel Saahib (daamat barakaatuhu) suggested that these articles be compiled in a book form and published for the benefit of the public.

Thus, by the grace of Allah Ta'ala, an attempt was made to gather these articles and publish them. May Allah Ta'ala accept it and crown it with His pleasure. Aameen. We make dua to Allah Ta'ala that this book becomes a means of bringing sukoon and peace into the homes of all Muslims. Aameen.
