The Compassionate Family-al-Burāq
$18.00

The book Compassionate Family is a collection of speeches by Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei regarding the concept of family in Islam. The book is made up of Ayatollah Khamenei’s speeches, which have been dissected and sorted according to their topics, such that similar speeches or parts of speeches are grouped together, giving the book the form of a lengthy symposium. Ayatollah Khamenei speaks about the philosophy of marriage and family structures, how they affect various social and spiritual dimensions of humans, and the necessity for family structures to function in a divinely encouraged manner. He speaks about the effects of neglecting the Islamic family structure, as seen throughout the West and various Eastern societies. He focuses on the essential role of women in a non-apologetic manner as being the caretakers of this essential societal unit, and exalts the duty of women as those responsible for the social and academic upbringing of a society. He also focuses on the issue of materialism in wedding ceremonies and the various effects this can have on married couples as well as the rest of society. The book Khānivādih presents an ideal model for the Islamic family and should be studied, analysed, and acted upon by Muslim communities around the world in order to protect the religious upbringing of their children, strengthen their communities, and engage in a journey towards God.

Something everyone should read

The Compassionate Family is a concise, yet insightful description of the Islamic philosophy of marriage. The author does a wonderful job laying out the Islamic viewpoints, as well as painting a picture of the ideal family. This book, the likes of which most of us haven’t seen in other works, must be read by every Muslim. May Allah bless the righteous maraji’, our respected scholars, and grant the believers victory in this age of confusion.

An absolute gem

This book is truly a beautiful and insightful read. It talks about marriage in Islam, the duties of men and women, that both spouses need each other and neither of them are superior to one another, and much much more. Uses Imam Ali (as) and Lady Fatima as an example it also mentions verses from the Quran. What I loved about this book is that it destroys the stereotypical beliefs of what the woman “duty” is as a wife and in the household. Marriage in Islam is beautiful, an escape from the stressors of this dunya. I definitely recommend this book.
