Rebellion in society is responsible for dislocation of families – Maulvi Adam
Maulvi Dr A. Wahab Adam, Ameer and
Missionary-in-Charge of the Ahmadiyya Muslim
Mission, Ghana, has slammed the rebellion against
traditions, ethical standards, religious teachings
and moral values.

This, he said, was responsible for the dislocation
of family life in the society.

“That is why any inclination towards
permissiveness was condemned in Islam, because it
leads ultimately to the destruction of family
ties,” he noted.

He said Islam cherishes and zealously guards all
fatherly, motherly, brotherly, sisterly and filial
relationships upon which peace and development of
present and future generations depend.

Maulvi Adam was addressing a congregation of the
Ahmadiyya Muslims at the Annual Regional
Conference of the Greater Accra Region in Accra,
on the theme: “An Ahmadiya Family: A Model for
Modern Society.”

He said any pleasure that was pursued at the cost
of peace of mind and security was discouraged by
Islam.

He said such tendencies, if unchecked, are likely
to lead to the disintegration of family life and
promote selfishness, irresponsibility, crime and
violence.

“It takes an excellent relationship between
husband and wife to ensure excellent upbringing of
children,” he said.

Maulvi Adam noted that Islam lays a heavy
responsibility on the shoulders of a husband, if
his conduct was not conducive to the creation of
an ideal atmosphere for a healthy family life.

“In Islam, family relationship is not limited to
husband and wife alone, but it extends to the
wider families to which both wife and husband
belong. So the relationship should promote care,
sympathy and respect to the elderly in both
families such as grandfathers and grandmothers.”

He said Ghana had organised successfully five
elections which have raised the democratic
credentials of the country to a higher level in
Africa and the world at large, adding, “I advised
all Ghanaians to remain peacefully before, during
and after the upcoming elections.

Alhaji Alhassan Ghansah, Regional President of the
Mission said the a number of religious activities,
including Tarbiyyat and Tabligh, have been
organised in the region as well as camping for
Tarbiyyat classes for the students who were on
holidays.
