Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – The Power of a Father and Mother Why Family Structure Matters

			But subhanaw taala made
procreation, right? To use that
		

			term, father and mother and then
children. And when you have that
		

			structure, it's good. That's why
when you have an absent father or
		

			an absent mother, a single parent
family, for example, they are.
		

			There's an imbalance. And there's
turbulence in that. But recently,
		

			there was an interview that I
watched with a woman who was
		

			brought up by two mothers.
		

			Right, which obviously is not the
Islamic way of doing it at all.
		

			She's saying that she's saying
this from experience, right? She's
		

			saying this from experience from
homophobia, as they say, this,
		

			she's saying this from experience
that it was not the ideal
		

			unhealthy situation, because
humans need a father and a mother.
		

			So yes, to mothers, as good as
they may be, as individuals or
		

			care or compassion or whatever.
You can't replace a father. And
		

			likewise, if you have just the
father in the house, you don't
		

			have a mother. You just can't
replace that.
