thirdly:
the home is a place to protect oneself, to keep away from evil and to keep one's own evil away from people. it is the refuge prescribed by islam at times of fitnah (strife,tribulation)
the prophet (peace be upon him) said:
"blessed is the one who controls his tongue, whose house is sufficient for him, and who weeps over his mistake."
the prophet ( peace be upon him) said: "there are five things, whoever does one of them, Allah will be with him:
1- visiting the sick
2-going out for jihaad
3-entering upon his leader with the intention of rebuking and respecting him, or
4-sitting in his home so that the people are safe from him and he is safe from the people."
the prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said; "the safety of a man at times of fitnah is in his staying home".
the muslim can see the benefit of this advice when he is residing in a foreign land where he is unable to change much of the evil around him. then he will have a refuge which, when he enters it, will protect hin from doing haraam things or looking at haraam things, and will protect his wife from wanton display and unveiling, and will protect his children from bad company.
