Family is at the core of our experience as human beings. Family impacts us in so many ways. The situation within the home affects us psychologically, emotionally, and even spiritually. Different aspects of family life have been addressed in the Quran and Sunnah. We are witnessing the deterioration of the institution of family. When family falters, civilizations fall.

This lecture briefly discusses not only the issues families face today, but also the solutions.

Arranged marriages are the cultural norm for many Muslims across the world. Men and women who are ready to get married may meet their future spouse through family or friends.

Khichri is one such dish.
