Maintaining The Ties of Kinship

Observing the ties of kinship is one of the most important basics of our deen, and not honouring these ties not only removes you from Allah’s Mercy, but also deprives you of so many blessings.

‘A’isha reported Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:

The tie of kinship is suspended to the Throne and says: He who unites me Allah would unite him and he who severed me Allah would sever him.

[Musulmanus]

In alio hadith, Propheta SENTENTIA dixit:

“Whoever loves that he be granted more wealth and that his lease of life be prolonged then he should keep good relations with his Kith and kin.” [Magnificate mihi lumen]

Scholars have unanimously agreed that the one who doesn’t maintain his ties of kinship, then based on this hadith, your lifespan is shortened and your provision is withheld from you!

Familiae inimicitiae valde communes sunt – ubique pergis audis eos qui una vel alia de causa cum suis familiis lapsi sunt.. tamen, hoc est peccatum magnum, quia arcte cohaeret familia pars fabricae Amma. It’s so important that in another hadith, Abu Hurairah RA said:

The Messenger of Allah SAW said: "Non licet Sarracenis suos deserere" (Musulmanus) frater ultra triduum; et quicumque hoc fecerit ultra triduum, et perit, certe in infernum intrabit.'

[Abu Dawud]

In yet another narration:

‘Abdur – Rahmaan bin ‘Awf RA narrated that the Messenger of Allah SAW said, “Allah, Altissimus, dixit: Ego sum Ar-Rahman, et hoc est Ar - Rahim (utero, aut vincula propinquitatis). Nomen de Nominibus meis extraxi. Ego vinculum cum his qui nutriunt eam, et auferte a tribulantibus eum.

[Abu Dawood]

Hic clare et explicite admonemur hominem, qui suas necessitudines dissociat, re vera se ab misericordia Allah separasse.. With the last few days of Ramadan left, now is the perfect time to establish your ties of kinship with firmness and forgive one another.

May Allah SWT make us of those who keep our families close to us at all times ameen.
