Islam is not a mere religion of five pillars and prayers alone. It is a complete way of life to live with peace, patience and perseverance. The strict adherence to this way of life is an ultimate key to success in this fleeting life and the life hereafter.

Islam is the proud possessor of miraculous teachings of Allah (SWT) conveyed to his beloved Prophet Mohammad (SAW). He (SAW) is the last Messenger of Allah (SWT) who belonged to the Saudi cities of Makkah and Madinah. These twin cities are revered as the heartland of this thought provoking religion. These are the two cities where millions of Muslim devotees gear up to perform their two religious itineraries of Hajj and Umrah through Hajj and Umrah packages.
We as Muslims are very proud to be a slavish follower of the most unprecedented person (SAW) who is an example for all the mankind of this planet. There is not a single life aspect present which is not discussed by him.
So the very basis of His (SAW) teachings, I want to discuss the serene Islamic ways to build up an ideal home environment with your loved ones and intimate family members. It is because our home with our loved ones is an inevitable essence of our life. We live with them; work 24/7 for them and after a daylong labor for bread and butter we finally return to them in our homes.
So the maintenance of a healthy and a positive home environment is an inevitable need for a sound fulfillment of your familial/ homely rights and duties. In this regard, the Holy Prophet (SAW) also says that
The best of you are the best to their families, and I am the best to my family. When your companion dies, then do not abuse him. (Tirmidhi)
5 Islamic Ways to Build Up an Ideal Home Environment
As per the beautiful and insightful teachings of Islam or Holy Prophet (SAW), following are the simplest ways to build up a positive familial environment within your homes
Encourage Daily Salah Routine in Home
Salah is not only an important pillar of Islam but also an everyday way of life. Make very sure to build up a daily routine of 5 times prayer. Encourage all the members of your household to offer their 5 times prayers daily.
Daily Recitation of the Holy Quran
The Holy Quran is a miraculous book of Allah (SWT) with a complete code of life. It serves as the spiritual antidote to all the problems and matters of life. Reading and understanding even bit by bit is followed with immeasurable spiritual rewards with Allah (SWT)’s assistance in every matter of your life.
Amidst your busier official routine, we strongly recommend you to allot at least half an hour to read with your little teens to recite at least a page with translation.
Keep a Portion of Islamic Literature in Home
Being a Muslim, it is very blissful to keep our desire of learning our religion intact. You can do this by keeping a portion separate for Islamic books, magazines and stories.
If you have mobile phones with the stronger internet connection, then we strongly recommend you to spare half an hour to listen to the Islamic audio and video lectures.
Practice Patience
Patience is one of the most important and inevitable requisites to build up and maintain a healthy homely environment with your spouse, kids or your pals. It is a social and religious key to success in every walk of life. Allah (SWT) and his beloved Messenger of Allah (SAW) both have strongly emphasized to face everything challenging with steadfastness, patience and unshaken trust on Allah (SAW).
O you, who have believed, seek help in patience and prayer; surely Allah is with the patient (Al-Baqarah, 103).
For all my working Muslim brothers and sisters, it is a humble request to keep patience in dealing with your little captains. The parents are the primary teachers/idols for their children. So your undue annoyance or excessive aggression can project the negative impacts on your child’s psychology.
Hold Religious Discussion With Family Members
Amidst our busiest work routines, we don’t actually find time a family special time at homes. So I strongly emphasize you to spare an hour or 2 for a religious conversation at least once a week. Discuss and share any Hadith, or Islamic stories of the Prophets of Islam to retain or increase the Islamic knowledge of you and your loved ones.
