Interacting with your family is not easy. In fact, it can be one of the most difficult things ever.

And here we all are, a year of lockdown later, with no places to escape to, longing for the days where we used to passionately debate Islamic school vs public school vs homeschool. And Zoom just swooped in and won the debate.

And no, we can’t be satisfied with drowning the rest of 2021 on Tiktok and Netflx, because when we look up from our screens we’ll still see the people we are dreading spending time with..our family.

And like, we have to talk to them…without being on vacation…Awkward.

Connecting with family, maintaining the ties of kinship may involve incredible sacrifice, and inconvenience, and difficulty.

There’s a reason why it is so rewarding.

We have to get comfortable with the discomfort that family ties bring.

There’s a reason why Jannah is tied to the maintaining of the ties of kinship.

And that breaking the ties of kinship is a major sin.

But no one talks about it.

Yes, we would all love to have parents who are supportive and undemanding, spouses who are loving and understanding, children who are respectful and responsible, relatives who are considerate…

That’s a nice fantasy, but that’s not life is it?

There’s a reason this course is called Protect This House, not Enjoy This House

It can be challenging, and everything that is challenging in the religion, we are trained on..

We are taught about lowering the gaze, about the challenge of waking up for fajr, about parting with our money for charity…

But we are not trained on, or prepared for, dealing with a crazy cousin, an intrusive parent, or a disrespectful spouse.

Then there are the kids!

There’s no raising children without sacrifice. That’s just the way that it goes.

Learning can be outsourced, but tarbiyyah cannot.

Protect This House by Shaykh Abu Eesa Niamatullah is a blockbuster seminar that cities have requested to return to them again and again for the past decade. And it’s finally online, worldwide.

Over 25 hours of content based on Al-Adab Al-Mufrad by Imam Al-Bukhari, Panel discussions, Live Q &A with Shaykh Abu Eesa, and bonus sessions by specialist presenters.

And it’s lifetime access for you to return back to again and again as you and your family traverse through the twists and turns that the journey of life brings.
