This document discusses issues in family management and presents four key issues: 1) Globalization and technology can drive children away from spending time with family through excessive smartphone and social media use. 2) Polygamy is discussed in the context of Islamic law, noting it is allowed if the husband can treat all wives equitably, with increased taqwa, and afford their needs. 3) Financial management of the family is important, including proper budgeting and ensuring wives and husbands both contribute according to their means. 4) Workaholic parents who are too busy with work may neglect their children's needs despite economic security, while poor families struggle to find work-life balance.

children and your partner – receive lots of encouragement, positive
feedback and signs of affection. Its also important to make time every week
to do things as a family – even a short walk or a visit to the park can help

4.  Routines

for all members of the family. Routines make children feel safe and
secure, and can make the busy time of day less stressful for everyone

washing the dishes with your children will give you the chance to
have a chat at the same time.

reading sirah bedtime stories, playing games or going camping
during school holidays. This help in strengthen your family’s values
and help pass these values on to your children.

challenging situations like tiredness, an upset child or financial
pressures.

akan datang dalam keadaan sebagian tubuhnya miring”

Allah has mentioned in the Quran, “And if you fear that you cannot
act equitably toward orphan than marry such women as seem good to

therefore beware of them; and if you pardon and forbear and forgive,

Allah mentioned in the Quran, “And let those who do not find the
means to marry, keep chaste until Allah makes them free from what
out of His Grace. And (as for) those who ask for a writing from among
those whom your right hands possess, give them the right thing if
you know any good in them, and give them the wealth of Allah which
He has given you; and do not compel your slave girls to prostitution
when, they desire to keep chaste, in order
