Family – The Forgotten Treasure

By Umm Farouq

In today’s world if something doesn’t generate wealth it is usually considered to be of little value. Like many other precious and essential things in life, the family has been discarded and devalued until in some places it hardly exists.

Isn’t it strange that there is so much instability in today’s world, so many social problems, suicide, addiction, mental illness, and general unhappiness and all this occurs at a time when the family has disintegrated, often beyond recognition?

Yet we find that even in poorer countries where all the same elements of access to drugs, promiscuity and so on exist, the young people have a much firmer setting in life because the family structure remains strong and intact.
