Living individually or living in a family?

Living individually or living in a family?

The #family is the base for learning how to live in #society. Why is visiting relatives very important in Islam? Because, visiting your #relatives means communicating with those whom you are forced to have relations with and not just with those whom you have chosen and with whom you have fun. It is in this situation that we grow.

 #Growth is in having relations with those who do not match you. You communicate and cooperate, and in this #communication and #cooperation, you must tolerate many things, which results in your growth. The more people’s lives become westernized the more separated from others they become. They even try to encourage families to have less children.

 Imam Muhammad Baqir (‘a) said, “I am #patient with my servants and family’s actions, which are more bitter than a colocynth (a bitter fruit). Because, due to a person’s patience, he/she will reach the level of a person who fasts, is awake at nights worshiping and a person who is martyred while fighting alongside the Prophet (s)!” [Thawab al-Amaal, p. 198]

🔸 Some sensitive people call themselves believers, but they are not willing to tolerate being irritated in the least by any other believer! Therefore, they release themselves from such relationships and do not work with others.

◾️Condolences on the anniversary of the martyrdom of #Imam_Baqir (‘a) to all those who are seeking the truth.
