Muslims are called upon to practice moderation in this area as well. In dress and behavior, Muslims are to be modest. According to the Prophet's tradition, no man should expose his body from the navel to the knees, nor should a woman expose any part of her body except her face and hands while in public. Through this directive, Islam cultivates in its followers a deep sense of modesty, purity and respect. Islam enjoins mankind to control and regulate sexual desires and seek its fulfillment only within the bonds of marriage.
Marriage is a solemn contract, and the basis of a stable family and society.
The Qur'an describes husband and wife as comforts for and protectors of one another. Divorce, while frowned upon, is permitted in cases where the marriage is irrevocably damaged. Throughout our lives, we must always be respectful of our parents. They suffer and make sacrifices for us throughout our lives. Our duties to our parents come second only to our duties to Allah, and the majority of Muslim families have close extended family ties.
