Family System in Islam By Dr. Zeenath Kausar PDF Free Download
Family System in Islam Authored By Dr. Zeenath Kausar. A comprehensive and scholarly look at the family unit in Islam, from its conception via marriage to the rights and roles of the partners that make for a successful team. The learned author also squarely confronts more touching issues such as polygamy, modes of divorce, and social equality. As the booklet title suggests, Dr. Zeenath Kausar has attempted to present the Islamic perspective on sexuality, reproduction, and the family system.
Family values play an important role from the Islamic point of view. Islam seeks to create durable bases for relationships within the family, which is the building block of a society. When each of these blocks is firmly placed, the social structure of the society rests on a strong foundation. Where the cohesive bond gets diluted, society begins to tumble.
The Western society presents a glaring example of this phenomenon. The growing number of single-parent families in the wake of rampant divorces has created a situation in which uninhibited sex has culminated in the outbreak of AIDs and other sexually transmitted diseases.
An important factor for the breakdown of marriages in the West is the fact that marital relations in Western societies are governed by material considerations, such as wealth, beauty or fame. These are ephemeral values doomed to self-erosion with time. When that happens, the fragile relationship gets swerved, and the marriage ends in divorce.
By contrast, marital ties in Muslim society are on firmer ground. Families seeking alliances also look for partners with a strong moral character, among other things. Thus, if a couple’s married life becomes a bit bumpy, they still pull on for the sake of their children, whom they owe a religious obligation to bring up properly.
