Summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah

The importance of the home and family for the Muslim child
0:12
The child grows within the Muslim home and family gradually
0:18
And during this time receives a sufficient store of love, cooperation, mutual protection, and building.
0:25
He experiences the tenderness and affection of the mother and the guardianship and care of the father
0:31
And observes the love and mercy between them.
0:34
Thus, he grows up balanced, upright, and sound in nature and emotions.
0:40
As for the child who is deprived of this natural nurturing environment,
0:44
his upbringing will be abnormal and unnatural in many aspects of his life,
0:50
no matter how many comforts and educational resources are available to him outside the family circle.
0:56
The first thing he loses is the feeling of love and tenderness,
1:01
because the child, by his nature, loves to have his mother all to himself for the first two years of his life,
1:09
during which he fundamentally depends on her,
1:12
and cannot bear for anyone to share her with him.
1:16
Children in orphanages and orphanages
1:19
share a caregiver and a nurse who looks after them.
1:24
Rather, the nurses are numerous for them,
1:27
and they take turns according to the work schedule allocated to each of them.
1:33
This results in distress and a flaw in the child's nature,
1:37
and perhaps the children harbor hatred for one another.
1:41
Similarly, his lack of a single authority overseeing him
1:46
leads to a fragmented personality and instability.
1:50
The experiences of public nurseries
1:53
reveal daily the authentic wisdom in making the family
1:57
the first brick in building a sound society,
2:01
which Islam aims to establish on a sound basis
2:05
consistent with human nature.
