The Islamic values of faith, love, compassion, cleanliness and beauty all need to be nurtured in the home.

Briefly, the ideal Muslim home would need to be:

• Simple and not Ostentatious, for the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said:
  "Eat, drink, give Sadaqah and wear good clothes as long as these things do not involve excess and arrogance"
  
• Spacious, to allow privacy for parents and separate beds for children from the age of ten, for the noble Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) has advised:
  "Separate (your children's) beds when they are ten years of age." This is obviously to prevent such disgusting crimes and sinful behaviour as incest.
  
• Clean, for the noble Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) has said that "Cleanliness is part of faith" and also "Purity is half of faith."
  
• Beautiful and free from such things as statues or revolting pieces of art for the noble Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) has said
  "God is beautiful and loves beauty."
  

• A place where there are the basic necessities of food and
  clothing(2: 233; 2:235-6), where meals are eaten together and where there is hospitality and generosity;
  
• A place where the greeting of Peace (Salam) is heard at dawn and at night and at times of going and coming.
  
• A place where love, tenderness and mercy is the norm, for the Qur'an says "And we have made between you love and tenderness"
  
• A cheerful place, for "Smiling is charity", as the noble Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) has said
  
• A place where the recitation of the Qur'an is heard daily and where knowledge is imparted and pursued.
  
• A place where Salat is performed and everyone, young and old, has a sense of time and place - time, in particular, related to the times of Salat,
  and place - determined by the direction of the Qiblah.
  

This is the basic minimum.

Alahumma infa`ni bima `allamtani wa `allamni ma yanfa`uni!

OH ALLAH! Make useful for me what You taught me and teach me knowledge that will be useful to me! (Aameen)

With kind and humble regards,
Umme Safoora
