​What is Home Economics?

​Home economics, or family and consumer sciences, is today a subject concerning human development, personal and family finance, housing and interior design, food science and preparation, nutrition and wellness, textiles and apparel, and consumer issues.^[1]

Imbibing home economics as a habit?

So what are you waiting for grab your copies now!

​How long does a new behavior take to become a habit?

​A health psychology researcher at University College London did a study and examined the habits of 96 people over a 12-week period. Each person chose one new habit for the 12 weeks and reported each day on whether or not they did the behavior and how automatic the behavior felt.

Some people chose simple habits like “drinking a bottle of water with lunch.” Others chose more difficult tasks like “running for 15 minutes before dinner.” At the end of the 12 weeks, the researchers analyzed the data to determine how long it took each person to go from starting a new behavior to automatically doing it.

​

The answer?

​On average, it takes more than 2 months before a new behavior becomes automatic — 66 days to be exact.

​Each chapter in our book Home Economics and personality development for little Mumin has text and activities which are encouraged to be exercised for a week. 25weeks! or 6 months.

What does Quran say about Home Economics and personality development?

​Let's talk about, a pious common man Luqman a.s's advice to his son,which Allah liked so much that he Quotes the same to us in the Holy Quran.

​There are numerous ayats in the Holy Quran that give us an insight into Home economics in a Muslim household. In fact the Quran is a hand book given to us by the Almighty to follow and flourish in this world and the hereafter.

​1.…O my son! Join not in worship others with God.  Verily! Joining others in worship with God is a great wrong indeed. (Quran 31:13) O my son! Offer prayer perfectly… (31:17)

​

​Luqman calls his son “my son” rather than by name so as to emphasis the familial bond. He catches his attention encouraging him to listen carefully to what he is about to say. He then calls his son’s attention to what is the most important thing in the eyes of God.

The one who associates others with God, he says, does the biggest wrong or injustice to the Creator and Sustainer of the universe.

​2. And we have enjoined on man to be dutiful and good to his parents… (Quran 31:14)

​In the Quran God mentions the rights of parents in the same sentence as the most important aspect of Islam, worshiping God alone. This indicates that being kind to parents, honoring and respecting them, is extremely important in the way of life that is Islam.

​3.…enjoin on people all that is good and forbid them from all that is evil… (31:17) …and bear with patience whatever befalls you… (31:17) And turn not your face away from men with pride… (31:18)

​Enjoining good and forbidding evil is a responsibility on every believer; rulers and subjects, men and women, each according to his or her ability. Remembering God and contemplating His greatness is the key to patience, and patience is a key to Paradise everlasting, therefore this was a wise advice indeed.
