This heartfelt reflection addresses a silent crisis in many Muslim families – our inability to verbally express love. Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan reveals how children who never hear “I love you” grow into adults who struggle to say these words, even to their spouses. The emotional distance created in childhood manifests in awkward marital interactions, where responding to “I love you” becomes painfully difficult.
The talk highlights:
1- How affection-starved children become emotionally constricted adults
2- The generational cycle of withheld verbal affection
3- Real-life examples of men who can’t reciprocate their wives’ loving words
4- The Islamic imperative for warm, expressive parenting modeled by the Prophet ﷺ
More than just identifying the problem, this session offers hope – showing how breaking this cycle begins with simple, consistent expressions of love to our children. By normalizing verbal affection today, we heal our past wounds while giving our children the emotional vocabulary they’ll need for healthy relationships tomorrow.
