Family Life vs ‘Free’ Life

JA
Javed Ahmad Ghamidi
November 2000 · 1 min read

In the west, on the one hand, there is unbridled freedom and on the other, the rules for marriage are so intricate that people establish matrimonial relationship without formal marriage and endeavour to fulfill it throughout their entire lives. Does Islam provide any solution to this problem?

Amongst the crucial mistakes of the western civilization, one mistake is swerving from the nature on which the Almighty has created man regarding family life. I think that if we present our stance properly and on the basis of arguments, the west will definitely lend an ear. Just as we should accept its experiences, affably, regarding collective life and consider its resplendent aspects our lost treasure, in a similar manner we expect from the west that it should come out of the psychology of reaction and get prepared to listen to us in this matter.
