1 WEEK 5 Family Ethics 7/1/2019

2 The Institution of family in Islam
Family is the basic unit of society, therefore Islam lays great emphasis on the family system and its values. The basis of family is marriage. Islam prescribes rules to regulate family life so that both the spouses can live in tranquility, security and love. 7/1/2019

3 Marriage in Islam has aspects of `ibadah (worship) of Allah (God) in the sense that it is in accordance with His commandments that a husband and wife should love and help each other and rear their children to become true servants of Allah (God). Unlike some other religions that consider celibacy a great virtue and a means of salvation, Islam considers marriage to be one of the most virtuous and approved institutions 7/1/2019

68 The way of enjoying wealth:
{يَا بَنِي آدَمَ خُذُوا زِينَتَكُمْ عِنْدَ كُلِّ مَسْجِدٍ وَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا وَلا تُسْرِفُوا إِنَّهُ لا يُحِبُّ الْمُسْرِفِينَ (31)} (سورة الأعراف) “O children of Adam! Look to your adornment at every place of worship, and eat and drink and be not extravagant; surely He does not love the extravagant.” (7: 31) 7/1/2019

69 - Do good to others as Allah has done good to you
{وَابْتَغِ فِيمَا آتَاكَ اللَّهُ الدَّارَ الآخِرَةَ وَلا تَنسَ نَصِيبَكَ مِنْ الدُّنْيَا وَأَحْسِنْ كَمَا أَحْسَنَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْكَ وَلا تَبْغِ الْفَسَادَ فِي الأَرْضِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يُحِبُّ الْمُفْسِدِينَ(77)} (سورة القصص). “And seek by means of what Allah has given you the future abode, and do not neglect your portion of this world, and do good (to others) as Allah has done good to you, and do not seek to make mischief in the earth, surely Allah does not love the mischief-makers.” (27: 77) - Don’t be extravagant - Use it to support noble principles & actions/ to secure a good position on the Day of Judgment - Do good to others as Allah has done good to you - Don’t use it to create mischief on the earth 7/1/2019

72 The concept of making halal earnings
Basic facts: - People will not be questioned on the Day of Judgment on the amount of wealth they accumulated, but they will be questioned how they got it and how they used it. - Although provision (rizk) is granted by Allah to people based on their work, it is not an automatic result of men’s work. It is given by the will of Allah and every one has a limit. 7/1/2019

73 مَنْ كَانَ يُرِيدُ الْعَاجِلَةَ عَجَّلْنَا لَهُ فِيهَا مَا نَشَاءُ لِمَنْ نُرِيدُ ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَا لَهُ جَهَنَّمَ يَصْلَاهَا مَذْمُومًا مَدْحُورًا (18) وَمَنْ أَرَادَ الْآخِرَةَ وَسَعَى لَهَا سَعْيَهَا وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَأُوْلَئِكَ كَانَ سَعْيُهُمْ مَشْكُورًا(19( (سورة الإسراء)  Whoever desires this life, We readily grant them such things as We will, to such person as We will. And afterward We provided Hell for them; they will burn therein, disgraced and rejected. And whoever desires the hereafter and he strives for it all due striving, being a believer, they are the ones whose striving is acceptable to Allah. 7/1/2019

74 - Following haram way will never give you, as some people may think, an additional portion of wealth. - And following halal way will not cause you any loss of your portion of rizk. - The principle of halal and haram applies as much to the spending of wealth as it does to its acquisition 7/1/2019

75 Why some things are haram?
يَأْمُرُهُمْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَاهُمْ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَيُحِلُّ لَهُمُ الطَّيِّبَاتِ وَيُحَرِّمُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْخَبَائِثَ وَيَضَعُ عَنْهُمْ إِصْرَهُمْ وَالْأَغْلَالَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ (الأعراف: 157) “…He commands them what is just and forbids them what is evil; he allows them as lawful what is good (and pure) and prohibits them from what is bad (and impure); he releases them from their heavy burdens and from the yokes that are upon them…” (7: 157) 7/1/2019

76 Individual harm physical - Harmful Social haram spiritual definitively
- Impure Individual harm physical - Harmful Social haram spiritual definitively - Conducive to haram most likely 7/1/2019

77 Benefits of halal vs. evils of haram

121 وَاعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَلا تُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا وَبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ إِحْسَانًا وَبِذِي الْقُرْبَى وَالْيَتَامَى وَالْمَسَاكِينِ وَالْجَارِ ذِي الْقُرْبَى وَالْجَارِ الْجُنُبِ وَالصَّاحِبِ بِالْجَنْبِ وَابْنِ السَّبِيلِ وَمَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يُحِبُّ مَنْ كَانَ مُخْتَالا فَخُورًا (النساء: 36) “Worship Allah, and join not any partners with Him; and do good to: parents, kinsfolk, orphans, those in need, neighbours who are near, neighbours who are strangers, the companion by your side, the wayfarer (you meet), and what your right hands possess, for Allah does not like the arrogant, the vainglorious” (4:36). 7/1/2019

123 6. Ethics in the domain of politics
How should a Muslim, who is participating in politics, behave towards his opponents and those who belong to different political parties and groups? How can we balance between keeping political plurality (which is a reality and may be a necessary tool for check and balance between different centres of power in the society) and cooperation between different parties and groups for the mutual benefit (the benefit of the country)? 7/1/2019

124 The concept of “government”: Trust vs. opportunism & misuse of power
The notion of “government/ central authority” is based on the principles of: - Delegation: People elected/ selected to public offices are delegated by the community. - Trust: they are entrusted with that task to serve the interests of the community. 7/1/2019

126 Right to change vs. cooperation
 The concept of opposition Right to change vs. cooperation - To monitor the activities of the government = Cooperate in good and beneficial matters = Criticize what is seen to be wrong and bad 7/1/2019

127 Ethical conditions of opposition/ criticism
- Based on established facts not on mere suspicions and accusations - Constructive: to change something wrong, not for the sake of survival - The critic should be convinced of the moral uprightness of his opinion - To avoid distortion of facts and sayings 7/1/2019

Causes: - Considering oneself to be a gifted person with the best opinions and ability understanding - Self-seeking, egocentrism Effects: - Forcing opinions on others regardless of their worth - Rejecting all kinds of advice/ criticism - Preventing people from expressing their views and opinions 7/1/2019

130 Ethnic relation in Islam: Basic Principles
Humanity lives today in a “global village,” where no people or nation can live in isolation from and indifferent to what goes on elsewhere. Our world is so interdependent and so interrelated that peaceful dialogue has become an imperative. 7/1/2019

131 1. Faith in the One Universal God (Allah in Arabic): Islam is founded on the belief that there is only one God (Allah in Arabic), Who is the universal Creator, Sustainer, and Cherisher of all. Being the sole creator of all humankind precludes any notion of multiple, competing creators. 7/1/2019

132 2. Allah is One and is impartial toward His creatures
2. Allah is One and is impartial toward His creatures. He provides for all, including those who reject faith in Him or even those who defy Him. He cares for the well-being of all and gives them ample opportunity to repent to Him and end the state of separateness suffered by those who reject Him or are unmindful of Him. This belief implies that all humans are equal before Allah in terms of their humanity, irrespective of their particular beliefs. 7/1/2019

133 3. Unity and universality of the core teachings of all prophets.
4. Universal human dignity. 5. Necessity of Islamic Da‘wah. 6. No coercion in religion. 7/1/2019

134 Universal peaceful coexistence:
The basic rule governing the relationship between Muslims and non-Muslims is that of peaceful coexistence, justice and compassion. The following two verses are key verses that embody that general rule. 7/1/2019

135 Relation with non-Muslims
“As for such (non-Muslims) who do not fight you on account of (your) faith, or drive you forth from your homelands, God does not forbid you to show them kindness (also love and respect) and to deal with them with equity, for God loves those who act equitably. God only forbids you to turn in friendship towards such as fight against you because of (your) faith and drive you forth from your homelands or aid (others) in driving you forth. As for those from among you who turn towards them for alliance, it is they who are wrongdoers.” (Al-Mumtahanah 60:8-9) 7/1/2019
