Liberalism’s Betrayal of the Family Structure
Liberalism promised “liberation”…
But it delivered isolation.
It promised “empowerment”…
But it produced broken homes and fatherless children.
Once upon a time, the family was sacred.
— Mothers were honored.
— Fathers were respected.
— Children were protected.
— Marriage was cherished.
— Roles were clear.
Then came liberalism...
— “You don’t need a husband.”
— “You don’t owe your parents anything.”
— “Gender roles are oppression.”
— “Marriage is a trap.”
— “Do whatever makes you happy.”
And what did it leave behind?
— Skyrocketing divorce rates.
— Single-parent homes.
— Youth addicted to porn.
— Children raised by screens.
— Grandparents abandoned in care homes.
— A generation that doesn’t know what a stable family even looks like.
Harvard sociologist Carle Zimmerman, in Family and Civilization, documented the collapse of past civilizations — and how it began with the destruction of the family unit.
Sound familiar?
A society that redefines family,
Redefines morality.
And once you redefine morality —
Truth dies.
But Islam came to repair what liberalism destroys:
Marriage is worship.
Family is a fortress.
Roles are not chains — they are divine responsibilities.
Mothers are not “housewives” — they are the makers of nations.
Fathers are not “toxic” — they are the shepherds of their flocks.
The Prophet Muḥammad (peace be upon him) said:
“Every one of you is a shepherd, and every one of you is responsible for his flock…”
— [Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī & Muslim]
Liberalism shattered the home.
Islam builds it — brick by brick, heart by heart.
If you truly care about society…
Start by restoring the family.
And to restore the family —
You must return to Islam.
