Islam teaches that Family is the foundation of society.
Children must respect all parents and elders (Quran 17:23-24; 31:14). Men have higher expectations put on them than on women but have more power than women. When this power is misused, it causes great suffering for women and children. Each woman is under the authority of her father until marriage. When she marries, she must leave her family and come under the authority of her mother-in-law.
If an Islamic man loves God with all his heart, He will be a man who loves and honors his wife and takes good care of his family.
Ephesians 5:25 says, “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.”
Let's pray for every Muslim family to reflect this scripture.
