Assalaamu alaykum
Dear Friends
I pray that you are well.
The Shari'ah accords the innate nature of men and women. Men are chivalrous and women are dutiful. But if the men are tyrannical and the women are bitter and rebellious, then it is no wonder we are facing so many problems in our families and communities. So you need to digest this and adjust your positions before destruction come to your families and to you.
As a community we need to help each other--look out for each other, look for those who need help--and help them. Don't think that this is not your problem because your brother's and your sister's problem is your problem. If it is not in your backyard, don't think you are safe. Who is going to help you when one day you are in their shoes? The rich should be generous and don't think you are going to be able to hold on to that blessing of Allah for long if you are stingy and selfish. If there are projects for families in your community, support them. If there is none, create them. We are all not immune to trials from Allah. If we don't perform our duties to Allah, if we don't give the rights of Allah its proper due, we are not going to be safe in this life and the next life.
"It is He who has appointed you viceroys in the earth, and has raised some of you in rank above others, that He may try you in what He has given you. Surely thy Lord is swift in retribution; and surely He is All-forgiving, All-compassionate." Qur'an al-An'am 6:165
May Allah guide us. Ameen. Please don't forget us in your night prayers. Jazakallahu khairan.
And Allah knows best.
Wassalaam
