*Head of the Family*
[[---------- 2️⃣ -----------]]--------------------------------
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
It's good to always remember that family affairs must be performed by mutual agreement, consultation and cooperation of the husband and wife. However, this small society (family), like any other society, cannot run well without a prudent and influential supervisor and manager. Yes. Most families that lack a manager do not have a desirable situation. Hence, either the wife must take on the responsibility of supervising and safeguarding the family or the husband.
Now,
Due to the particular genesis of men and women, since most men are generally more rational, as opposed to emotional than women; men are more prepared to manage and supervise the family; and are better equipped to bear hardships. This is why the burden of supervising the family has been set on their shoulders.
Conversely,
Women are more emotional and passionate than men. Therefore, it is in the best interests of the family that women accept the husbands as the *"Head of the Family"* to perform important affairs. And in the event of a disagreement, women should accept their husbands’ judgment.
Knowing fully well that,
Man and woman are the two basic pillars of a family, but since men are endowed with special qualities by the order of creation, and because their power of logic is stronger than women's, they are regarded as the guardians of their families😳. Yes. Allah, the Exalted, has stated in the Holy Quran:
الرِّجَالُ قَوَّامُونَ عَلَى النِّسَاء بِمَا فَضَّلَ اللّهُ بَعْضَهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ وَبِمَا أَنفَقُواْ مِنْ أَمْوَالِهِمْ
“Men are the protectors and supervisors of women because of the advantage Allah has given some over others and because they support them from their wealth..." 📚 Surah An-Nisaa
It must be noted that,
Male supervision does not mean that the man can selfishly manage the family by exploiting his power and do whatever he wants and prohibit other members of the family from expressing their opinions😀. Yes. This is because a prudent manager and supervisor knows very well that no institution, great or small, may be administrated by force and selfishness; especially in view of the fact that,, the household must be a place of peace, tranquility, and nurturing for the children who are to be the future architects of the society.
In point of fact, the intent of male supervision is that, correct planning for administrating the family must be first and foremost and these plans must be made through consultation and an exchange of views of other members of the family; through procuring their cooperation in managing affairs; through coming to a mutual understanding in *certain* decisions and resolving problems or disagreements. In fact, ......
