Speech By: Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri
Description:
In this video, Shaykh ul Islam Dr. Muhammad Tahir ul Qadri explains the blessed statement of Umm ul Muminin Sayyida Khadijah tul Kubra,(R.A), “Indeed, you maintain ties of kinship” and elaborates on the greatness of maintaining family ties, its priorities, and its spiritual, moral, psychological, and social effects. It is made clear that maintaining ties of kinship begins first and foremost with one’s closest relationships, such as parents, husband and wife, children, brothers, sisters, and other blood relatives. If a person shows generosity and goodwill toward people outside the home, yet behaves coldly, indifferently, or with estrangement toward family members and close relatives, then this is a reversal of religious priorities. It is further explained that maintaining ties of kinship does not simply mean treating well only those who treat you well. Rather, true maintaining of kinship means that if someone cuts ties with you, you reconnect with them; if someone wrongs you, you still respond with goodwill and kind conduct. This is the moral excellence that brings the self under control, reduces anger, revenge, and ego, and nurtures patience, forbearance, forgiveness, and goodwill within the heart. The talk also describes the relationship between husband and wife as a great training ground in which a person learns to control emotions, differences, and the lower self.
