Negative Role of Home

NEGATIVE ROLE OF HOME opportunistic, often at the expense of others. This alarming situation cannot be remedied through mere meetings and speeches. The sole path to rectification lies in developing the household environment to improve the moral character of children. Resolving this dire predicament remains elusive without addressing the deficiencies within our homes. We had a well-educated Muslim associated with our mission who, at that time, did not have any children. However, they later became parents. As time went on, they gradually distanced themselves from the mission. In a subsequent meeting, I asked them why they had left the missionary work. They responded, “The responsibilities of raising children have increased to the point where we no longer have time.” This scenario is emblematic of the present age, where almost everyone considers their children their utmost concern. They dedicate their resources, time, and energy solely to their children’s well-being. While they may express words of concern for others, their actions are reserved exclusively for their offspring. Even concerning matters of God or divine work, their involvement remains limited to mere words. “Today, the individuals you encounter prioritize their children but display little concern for their future. This aligns with the saying, ‘sacrificing one’s hereafter to build the world of others’ (Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith No. 3966).
