Warning the family of the dangers of the people of misguidance
Question
Warning the family of the dangers of the people of misguidance:
Answer
Praise be to Allah.
One of the most important ways to save the family from deviation and misguidance is to teach them the practices and dangers of criminals and the people of misguidance in how they misguide others due to their vileness by presenting misguidance and sin in beautiful manners, and calling it by another name.Two of the most important things that one must warn the women of are:
Certain criminals try to incite them to remove their covering and take them out of their homes in order to enjoy themselves with her, and they call it "freedom" of women.
Undermining the Islaamic family and its size, andlessening the size of the Islaamic Ummah, and theycall it the plan of birth control.These calls have been given by many satellite channels that have been established solely in order to destroy homes and manners and to kill modesty and shyness.
Safeguarding the home from blameworthy matters:
Many fathers are negligent regarding their families and
children during these times.
A child might watch something reprehensible in the home,
which would embed itself in their mind slowly and
their heart would become inclined to sinful actions.
There are many reprehensible matters in the homes which
can be divided into three categories
Reprehensible actions which are specific to the
head of the household. These are very dangerous,
because the child is raised while seeing
his role model doing those actions, such
as smoking and watching movies and soap operas. Some of them order their children to stay away
from sins, but they commit them in front of them,
then ask later on: why did my child go astray?
Listen to some elementary school teachers who relate what the
children speak about innocently and spontaneously concerning
reprehensible actions that occur in their homes. One of them
said: “One of my students spoke to me, and he was in one of
the elementary levels. He said: ‘My father drinks alcohol in the
house, but when his friends come to drink alcohol together, he
takes us out of the room.’ I said: ‘Perhaps they are drinking
juice,’ and the child said: ‘No, I know it, they are
Drinking alcohol.’”
This young boy of six years old has this to say about his father.
The father thinks that if he takes his boy out of the room he
will not know what is happening. It did not cross his mind that
children are intelligent and can understand many things.
Another child said to his teacher: “My father does to the maid
what my mother does to the driver.” Do you realize what the
father is doing and what the mother is doing!? What do we
hope from such children when they become older? What kind of
life, misery, and unhappiness will overcome these children
while they witness such awful immoral actions being
perpetrated in their homes?!
Reprehensible matters which are specific to women and children but are facilitated by a man for his family.
He might do so just to let them have some leisure, and does not
wish to plant different types of sin and evil in them.
Many things that are facilitated for our children conflict with
religion and our beliefs and plant polytheism and disbelief in
them. Some cartoons, for example, plant the love of magic and
magicians in the hearts of our children, while magic is disbelief
in Allaah the Exalted. In such movies, or in some video games,
you find that the magician is a good person, helps the innocent,
and fights the criminals. So, you find that the child wishes that
the “good” magician is victorious. Therefore, look how the
beliefs are turned upside down.
It is not permissible to burn the body of the deceased after death
