An Example of Noble Character

3. A believing woman’s home is a place of worship— where the five daily prayers are observed, fasting is practiced, charity is given, and the names of God and the Prophet of Islam are frequently mentioned. Rather than being absorbed in distractions, her focus remains on spiritual and religious development. 4. A believer’s home is centered on obedience to God and the Prophet of Islam. In every matter, large or small, the guiding question is: What has God commanded? What is the example of the Prophet? What guidance is found in the lives of the Companions? By seeking direction from these sources, the home becomes a place of genuine faith and submission. 5. A believer’s home is a place of purity. Just as a bathroom cleanses the body, a believer’s home becomes the space for purification of the soul. Its environment is marked by dignity, compassion, sincerity, principle, and acknowledgement of truth. Those who live in such a home continue to grow and refine their character, so that when they go out into the world, they reflect the traits of someone shaped by divine guidance. People often build their homes to impress others. A believing man or woman, however, builds a home that is pleasing to God—so that angels may bring blessings into it, and from it emerge individuals of high moral character. Such a home becomes a source of peace and success in both this world and the next.
