Question

Islam is a complete code of life. How it guides us to set up an ideal family?

Answer 1

Islam is a constituent part of life. It tells us how to manage all activities of life in a sound and ethical way. It has established a clear system of worship, laws about how to live life, civil rights, political rights, social issues and rights, laws of marriage and divorce, inheritance rights and all others which we deal with our daily life routine.

 Most importantly, families are considered to be at the heart of every Muslim person. It was created by Allah to keep society together and Muslims should follow the example of the Prophet Muhammad, who was married and raised a family. The traditional Muslim family is an extended family. Marriage in Islām is a divine bond between husband and wife to enjoy social and intimate relationship with each other and to have children. It is one of the most sacred divine contracts between them. Family is the nucleus of Islāmic society and marriage is the only way to bring families into existence, Islām encourages marriage when someone reaches the age of puberty.
