Building a Home: Navigating Our Deepest Relationships

About this lecture

In this interview, Sheikh Bilal discusses his book *Home Sweet Home*, a comprehensive guide to building harmonious family relationships grounded in Islamic values and modern psychological research. He shares practical advice on strengthening bonds between spouses, parents and children, and in-laws — covering key themes such as empathy-based communication, love languages, and his Five T's framework: Trust, Transparency, Tolerance, Talking, and Time. The conversation also explores how to break down emotional walls, bridge generational and cultural gaps in Muslim families in the West, and take the first steps toward healing fractured relationships.
