Ustadh Tabraze Azam writes on the adab or etiquette of the home – a blessing from Allah
Homes are havens of serenity and comfort. They are a shelter from the heat and cold. They offer privacy from the gaze of others, safety for belongings, protection from harmful animals, insects and the like, and many other benefits. They are truly a blessing.
Allah Most High reminds us at the end of the subsequent verse, “This is how He perfects His favor upon you, so perhaps you will fully submit to Him.” Sura al Nahl 16:81 Namely, acknowledge the one who blessed you with all that you have and worship Him alone with sincerity as He fulfilled even your most basic human needs by His Grace.
The famed Egyptian master of the inward and outward sciences, Ibn ‘Ata Illah al Sakandari, stated in an aphorism (hikma): Whosoever isn’t grateful for His blessings makes himself liable to losing them. And whosoever is grateful for them has tied them down by their reins.
