Five features of the house in Azeirbajan that cause respect

My home is my fortress. This concept came to us from the shores of the foggy Albion, but best describes the attitude to home among the peoples professing Islam. What unusual details distinguish a Muslim house from everything familiar? The answer is in our article.



The Prophet (peace be upon him) preferred a spacious house and considered it one of the components of human happiness in this life. From the point of view of Shariah, there are no mandatory conditions for a Muslim regarding the interior of the house. However, there are some recommendations that it is advisable to adhere to, as far as the footage allows.



Rooms shall be so arranged that the front door does not give direct access to the interior spaces. Ideally, there should be a male and female part of the house. But if this is not possible, then you need to think about the layout so that women still have their place for privacy.



By the way, the toilet should be located so that the person sits sideways in relation to Mecca. A hygienic shower is also desirable, which, as we wrote earlier, in itself provides additional comfort and a number of undoubted advantages.

The Arabic style in architecture, formed under the influence of Islam, is distinguished by the absence of windows on the exterior facade of the house and narrow windows with stained glass windows from the courtyard. If there are windows, it has long been customary to curtain them with embroidered fabric.



This is due to the fact that the house in Islam is a personal space, it helps to protect the household from other people’s eyes, providing beauty and protecting from the scorching rays of the sun. In the modern world, everything is simpler, you can use blinds or other ways to decorate windows.

The main thing is that outsiders from the street do not see what is happening in the rooms, especially if there are women in them. Alternatively, opaque or translucent glass, stained glass is used, the size of windows is reduced and much more.

Muslims do not put a bed in any way. It should be positioned so that the sleeper does not lie with his feet to the qibla, a landmark towards the sacred Kaaba, located in the city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia.



Interior design Islam does not approve of excesses. A person’s home should be spacious, bright and at the same time as simple and modest as possible.



It is forbidden to decorate the interior with any images of living beings (paintings, figurines) and family photos including. This is a sign of weak faith in God. His angels don't visit such houses.



You can't keep dogs in the house. In the yard as a guard - yes, but inside the house it is excluded. You can even keep cats.

Every Muslim knows the importance and value of praying five times. As a rule, there is a separate space for prayer in the house.



For this purpose, GettyImages allocate a part of the room where a special rug and a Koran are kept. During prayer, the prayer mat, as well as the believer himself, should be directed towards the Qibla.

The most important thing in the house is not the location of the rooms, but warm and friendly relationships within the family. After all, only in an atmosphere of love and mutual respect can the moral personality to which Islam calls be formed.
