Re: Ways to Deal With a DifficulT MIL ..!
Allah has put certain tendencies in our fitrat and one can’t deny that. If someone is saying that the general tendency of human nature is that no other person will love you with the depth your parents do, there is nothing at all wrong in that. In fact it’s an aspect of Allah’s creation for us to marvel at and it reinforces the status that parents have in Islam. MIL to door ki baat hai, I can tell you with unwavering yaqeen that none of my khalas can come even halfway close to giving me the love my mom has, MashAllah. Islam does emphasize respect of elders and patience toward all; nobody’s gonna argue that. But if someone states a general tendency of human nature, I don’t necessarily see that as them being heedless of Islam’s teachings or going against them.
