Much emphasis has been laid in the Qur’an and Sunna on maintaining family ties and having good relations with others; whilst severing ties and conflict are very high on the list of enormities.
Islam came to set all our relationships right. This includes our relationship with God as well as with other human beings. Despite this, unfortunately, today we see these teachings being violated by Muslims. At every level of society, within the family and outside of it, disunity, hostility, bickering, backbiting, cheating, jealousy, selfishness and other similar evils are ever present, creating chaos and anarchy and destroying harmony and security.
In this series of lectures, delivered over the course of Ramadhan, the speaker – Mufti Muhammad ibn Adam Al Kawthari – identifies ten major causes of social and family conflicts, and ways to resolve them. The content of the discourses, given in light of the Qur’an and Sunnah, are both absorbing and pertinent, and a must for all those seeking a harmonious relationship with others.
