The problems of the modern family system

In our contemporary times, we are facing new trends that are fighting the family system and the institution of marriage, under the pretext that the family strangles the individual's freedom, whether that individual was a man or woman, and traps him/her in a narrow zone through which he cannot exercise his freedom in living a life full of entertainment and messing around, and in going wherever he wants. Some might even feel like connecting this issue to the rights of women and their need to confirm their humanity, claiming that the woman's job in the family system is restricted to nursing, including getting pregnant, delivering babies, breastfeeding, which might waste all her academic and practical potentials.

Birthday of the “Speaking Qur’an”

"It is He Who has sent down to you the Book. Parts of it are definitive verses, which are the Mother of the Book (Umm al-Kitab), while others are metaphorical. As for those in whose hearts is deviance, they pursue what is metaphorical in it, seeking mischief and seeking its interpretation (to suit their whims). But no one knows its (actual) interpretation except Allah and those firmly grounded in knowledge (Rasekhouna fi’l-Ilm); they say: "we believe in it; all of it is from our Lord.” And none takes admonition except those who possess intellect.” (Holy Qur’an: 3:7)
