"In the next 10 years, if something causes more than ten million people to die, it will be a much higher and faster spreading virus," Bill Gates said in his speech on the Ebola virus that invaded Africa in 2015. CNN boss Ted Turner's statements about building a world of 225 million people in the American press did not even attract our attention. No matter who said what, we had passed it on to us. However, the danger that we thought was distant from us suddenly ended with us, and a deadly virus started walking around our streets. Everybody, from politicians to healthcare professionals, educators, civil institutions and organizations, went hand in hand and made statements and encouraged people home to prevent the spread of the virus. The house has not received so much attention in recent history, it did not accommodate so many people at the same time. And in this process, we have seen closely that the house is not only a place that accommodates family members, but also a castle that ensures their safety. But despite all this, some people began to talk about their boring, overwhelming home and express their longing for the outside from their social media accounts. Complaints about the home and simulations that we cannot approve have begun to be made. While those who expressed that they are overwhelmed by home life continue to share their merams on social media, some of our brothers who can see the values of the house asked what they can do to make the time spent at home more efficient. They saw the house as a value, not a lifeless space, and knew that time spent at home was a gain…
The Messenger of Allah guides us in terms of how to use the house or how and how to evaluate life at home. As it is known, He went to bed after the night prayer and woke up at night. We can also evaluate the blessings of the night and turn this process into a spiritual investment during the days we spend at home. Night history has always been seen as a symbol of evil and took place in metaphors in this way. For Muslims, night is a value that contains dozens of secrets, and it is an asset that calms our tired souls and opens us to think and contemplate. By evaluating the silence of the night, we can do scientific studies at that time, analyze our behavior and come closer to Allah by repentance.
The Messenger of Allah would perform the morning prayer with the congregation, chat after the prayer, listen to the needs of the people and help. In these days when we are tested with disasters, we can transform our homes into masjids and we can meet with family members during prayer time and perform our prayers together. The chat with the children after the prayer will be abundant, we can recommend them the right and soothe their fears.
In daylight, the energy of family members begins to reflect on the walls of the house. A spring joy prevails in the house of the Muslim. Family members carrying the burden of each other are clamped like the fingers of one hand.
The sun rises and sets at the usual time, and things continue in a great order at the house of the Muslim. Family members have allocated time as worship, work, scientific studies, social activities and time together. But time is so fertile that they fit many things into life as short as a spring rain.
While the corona epidemic is spreading rapidly, people in my country, where the majority of the people are Muslims, say that they see the house as a desolate and dull place and get bored. However, home is the healthiest environment for family members to do useful work. Here people can evaluate their talents, do scientific studies together, read the selected book together, and come together and chat. But first of all, people should have grasped the place and importance of the house in our lives.
