Family life makes both man and woman complete. It is only when family members follow certain rules. Otherwise, mere appearance of male and female as living together may not ensure the most desirable happiness. The Qur‟an outlines clear principles, which if observed sincerely, family well-being stands guaranteed. Some of those principles are: (1) Love and Compassion, (2) Moral Orientation of Family Members, (3) Refraining from Unlawful Livelihood, (4) Excellent Treatment, (5) Zero-Tolerance to Alcoholism and Gambling, (6) Total Abstinence from All Abominable Acts, and (7) Remembering Allah. An observation of family life today the world over may convince that family problems such as wife-husband clash of interests, parents-children conflict, inordinate stresses on one‟s own rights, divergence over likings and dis-likings in the life, intolerance, speaking lies, and backbiting are obviously consequent upon ignorance of the universal principles of happy family life as prescribed in the Qur‟an. The present paper will discuss the above-mentioned Qur‟anic principles for maintaining happy family life. |

Marketers today bombard messages on consumers through diverse advertisement channels without recognizing what consumers actually perceive about them. The selection of advertisement channels depends primarily upon the needs, preferences, lifestyle, and culture of the target market. Considering religion an important aspect of culture, this qualitative research uses interviewing technique and ascertains perception of nine Malaysian Muslim consumers about various advertising channels. Using convenience sampling, it further probes reasons for liking and disliking a particular advertisement channel. Findings indicate that TV has been liked the most among majority respondents. Contrarily, random advertisement emails are found the most disliked advertisement channel. Furthermore likes and dislikes pertaining to eight advertisement channels (TV, FM radio, Magazine, Newspaper, Pamphlet, Web site banners and popups, Emails and Billboards) have been highlighted individually. This study will help marketers determine both effective and ineffective advertisement channels in order to attract and retain Muslim consumers. Comparison of diversified channels will help managers discern the channel that Muslim consumers liked and disliked the most which will subsequently help in decision making. |
