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.
