Family Relationships

This Section of the Blog is focused on family relationships and is based on the Qur'an and the Qur'an tafsir by Abdullah Yusuf Ali. Each section is focused on that specific role. For example, the section "children" is focused on the responsibilities of the child in relation the parent. The section "parent" is focused on the relation of the parent to the child and the parent's responsibilities. Similarly, "husband" is the responsibilities of the husband in relation to the wife and "wife" is the responsibilities of the wife in relation to the husband and so on.

The reason it is written in this way is to remind ourselves of our responsibilities more than our rights. Rather than worrying about what the parents do for you or what your children are supposed to have been treating you like, the focus is on each specific responsibility.

Let's not forget that on the day of judgement, Allah (swt) is not going to ask us what our parents did for us whether we will be asked about whether or not we fulfilled our responsibilities. Their account of deeds is with them and ours is with us.
