Jurisprudence of Family
Overview
Allah is the most knowledgeable, who created the human species in the best forms, and endowed them with the ability to acquire knowledge, and blessings and peace be upon Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), who was sent as guidance and mercy.
The Quran is the only book that not only explains the purpose of our lives but also provides us with a complete system of life regarding worldly matters. The Quran says, ‘O people! Fear your Lord who created you from one soul and created from it its mate and dispersed from both of them many men and women. And fear Allah, through whom you ask one another, and the wombs. Indeed, Allah is ever, over you, an Observer.’ (4:1) This verse presents an image of the Islamic family system. Similarly, another verse says, ‘O you who have believed, it is not lawful for you to inherit women by compulsion. And do not make difficulties for them in order to take [back] part of what you gave them unless they commit a clear immorality. And live with them in kindness. For if you dislike them – perhaps you dislike a thing and Allah makes therein much good.’ (4:19). And there are many such verses that provide guidance for domestic affairs.
