The Typical Scenario inside Today’s Muslim Home

By: Haqqseeker

 Today’s Muslim Home has become a Home where:

• The first person who is supposed to wake up for Fajr Salah wakes up after the sun rises.
• Men pray in their rooms rather than going to the Masaajid.
• Everyone goes late for Jumu’ah prayers.
• School is given preference over Madressah.
• Kids are not awakened for the Fajr Salah but are regularly awakened early for school.
• Western education is the priority whereas very few can recite even Surah Faatihah with proper Tajweed.
• Parents are not accorded the  respect and honour they deserve.
• Children are not brought up with proper Islamic Tarbiyat.
• The only Islamic book present here is the Qur’aan.
• The Holy Qur’aan is kept in the cupboard until Ramadhaan.
• Most of the residents have a very limited knowledge about the Ahadeeth and the Sunnahs of our Nabi Muhammad Sallallahu ‘Alayhi wa Sallam.
• They also have very little knowledge about the sacrifices our Nabi Muhammad Sallallahu ‘Alayhi wa Sallam and his Sahabah gave for our Deen.
• The mother & her daughters wear fancily tied scarves instead of proper Hijab.
• Girls put on tight trousers while boys wear three-quarter trousers.
• Men shave their beards.
• Most males do not put on the ‘Topi” (Islamic cap) even while offering Salah. They consider it an obsolete practice.
• Everyone eats separately because eating together is regarded as old–fashioned.
• Many do not follow the right sunnah while eating food.
• Individuals listen to music and watch TV, sometimes even during Ramadhaan.
• The father and the son watch sports together while the mother and the daughter watch TV serials together.
• Since the advent of the Smartphone, the family members have become greatly attached to Social Media/games and each one seems to be living in his/her own ‘Virtual World’.
• Family members enter/leave the washrooms/bathrooms without reciting the required du’as.
• Arabic or mother tongue is not spoken but English is spoken very fluently.
