A household is made up of not one but many members. In order for the household to progress and be productive, it is important for them to be united in purpose – all working towards and assisting each other to reach a common goal.
Thus if the husband is on Deen but does not have the support of his wife and children as they are not on Deen, he will definitely find it difficult and face challenges to remain firm on his Deen. This naturally applies to every member of the household and not the husband alone.
It is thus important for every member of the home, the husband, wife and children, to all be firm on Deen. Everyone will strive for one common goal – ‘The Pleasure of Allah Ta‘ala’.
If they are not united in their goal and focus, everyone will be pulling in their own direction. This is the root of all tension and fights in our homes today.
We all simply need to work together to please one Allah Ta‘ala alone.
