Building potential in our Family.

We should build the potential of our wives and children at home. Having Taleem in our home will assist in building this potential in our children. 

Allah Ta'ala had first created the potential of abstaining from wine in Sahaaba and finally liquor was prohibited. The result of this was that wine flowed in the streets of Madinah. 

If the wine was in the bottle it was never poured into the glass. If it was in the glass already, it never reached the lips. If it reached the lips it didn’t enter the mouth. If it reached the mouth it didn’t enter the throat. This is the result of working on one’s potential. 

When the law of Hijaab was revealed then there wasn’t a single woman that did not adorn the Hijaab the next day. We should build the Isti’daad of our wives and children through Taleem daily.

And when doing so, it is necessary to invite them with love and compassion.

Maulana Thanvi (Rahmatullahi alayhi) says, “Initially I am not concerned of the Islaah of the person that takes Bay’at to me.” My concern is that my love should enter his heart. When love is created then a lover will agree that black is white if the beloved claims that black is white. This love is created from good character.

Allah Taʿala says to Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam):

فَبِمَا رَحْمَةٍ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ لِنتَ لَهُمْ ۖ وَلَوْ كُنتَ فَظًّا غَلِيظَ الْقَلْبِ لَانفَضُّوا مِنْ حَوْلِكَ

“And if you had been harsh and hard-hearted, they would have dispersed from around you.”

Hazrat Moulana Abdul Hamid Ishaq Saab Daamat Barakaatuh
