IMPORTANCE OF FAMILY TIES

315

“Allah originated the creation. After, the womb stood up and said: ‘Is this the place the human asks Your protection from being severed?’ Allah replied: ‘Yes, would you be satisfied if I bestow to whosoever associates with you, and I sever whosoever severs you?’ It said: ‘I am satisfied.’ Allah said: ‘This then is your place.’ The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said: ‘Recite if you will the verse:

Could it be, that if you turn away,

you might make corruption in the land and

break the ties of kinship?

Such are those whom Allah has cursed making them

deaf and blinding their eyes.'" 47:22-23 Koran

Allah, the High said (to the wombs in a Divine Quotation): Whosoever associates with you I will bestow upon him, and whosoever severs you I will sever him.”

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said this.

Allah, the Exalted says:

“As for those who break the covenant of Allah

after accepting it,

who part what He has commanded to be united

and worked corruption in the land,

a curse shall be laid on them,

and they shall have an evil abode.” 13:25 Koran

“Your Lord has ordered you

to worship none except Him,

and to be good to your parents.

If either or both of them attain old age with you,

do not say: "Fie on you", nor rebuke them,

but speak to them with words of respect.

And lower to them the wing of humbleness

out of mercy and say:

'My Lord, be merciful to them,

as they raised me since I was little.'” 17:23-24 Koran
