so MANY emotions, how you gona cover, love, hate, friendship etc... plus there's different type of love. you might want to look into it, pretty interesting. love for Allah, love for people, love for this world etc...

and when you say at home? you mean?

Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?

He can try discussing as much as possible. Or concentrate on one.

Something for Anger:
Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "The person who is strong is not strong because he can knock people down. The person who is strong is the one who controls himself when he is angry."

Love would probably be the most complex to talk about.

Oh! I heard a heard a great talk like 2 years ago on emotions by a mufti. If only i could remember all that he said it would help.

I'm trying to jog my memory but i can't remember details so forgive me if i'm no use.

Ok from what i can remember he was talking about how everyone's created differenlty, how in people certain emotions overpower others and that is the way we were created. Some people are naturally aggressive, some are naturally soft hearted etc. Each has it's own advantages and disadvantages in life. The muft went through the emotions and ways in which Islam has ways of controlling these emotions.

Like i said i can't remember the details but i do remember something he said about having pride and jealousy. He mentioned how these were the first sins to ever be committed by non other than Iblis(shaytaan). When he was told to bow down to Adam alayhis salam he refused to do so cause he was full of pride and jealousy. You can also mention the story of Adam' (AS) two sons Habil and Kabil.

One way of avoiding comitting jealousy is to always say Mash Allah when you see someone attaining something in this dunya whatever it may be.

There is no reason anybody should be proud in the way that they think they are better than someone else cause at the end of the day we all came from a drop of sperm, we all need to relieve ourself(go to the toilet) and we're all going to die one day.

Insha Allah this will help you and if you need more information then visit < that is the website of the mufti who gave the talk.

Alhamdulillah!

If you're gna talk about pride you may wanna mention how the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam (Peace and Blessings be upon him) didn't advise 'over' praising someone in their presence.

Al-Miqdad (Allah be pleased with him) said that,

"The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace) ordered us to throw a handful of dust at the faces of those excessive in praise." [Muslim (3002), Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud, Ibn Maja, and Ahmad]

There have been numerous interpretations to this hadith as mentioned in the commentaries on the above books of hadith.

The main positions are:

1. That this is literal (as acted upon by al-Miqdad himself and some others of the salaf);

2. That it is to be stern with such excessive praises, so they realize their error and stop, because it can lead to the one being praised becoming deluded and haughty;

Imam Khattabi, the early commentator on Sunan Abi Dawud explained that excessive praisers are those who make such praise their habit, or seek material benefit from it with the one praised. As for the one who praised someone for good acts or traits, with a good intention such as others recognizing the person's virtue and benefiting from them or following their good example, such an individual is not an excessive praiser.

Imam Ghazali cautioned, however, against the dangers of careless praise, on both the one praised (such as pride and delusion) and the one praising (such as exaggeration that becomes lying, or insincere motives in the praise).

This is why the best of ways in praise, like all matters, is moderation.

And Allah knows best.
