Path of Love: The Training Ground of the Elim Family.
Ustad Abdini explains that the highest path of the soul - the path of love (Maslak-e Hubbi) - is not only for the elite. It is a training ground that God has placed right in our homes, and the stories show us exactly how to walk it.
For the man: striving for his family is jihad.
Imam al-Sadiq (a. Q.) said:
"The one who strives for his family is similar to the one who strives for God. ".
"He who strives for his family is like the mujahid in the way of Allah. ".
For a woman: good friendship (husn al-tabul) is her jihad**.
Imam Ali (a. Q.) said:
"A woman's jihad is good behavior."
"A woman's jihad is to afford herself a pleasant company for her husband. ".
The lesson:
The house is not separate from the way to God. For the man, his work to provide is jihad. For the wife, her love and concern for her husband is Jihad. The simplest actions at home become the most beloved actions of God when they are done with love.
This is the path of love: it is right in your home.
