Comparison of Family Lifestyle in Heavenly Books

The family system is the image of any society or civilization. At the moment, human rights in every civilization has been disturbed by family problems and it is not related to any particular civilization, but all civilizations including the African, Spanish, European and Japanese have been affected by it. As a Muslim, we believe in every heavenly book. The holy Quran and the rest of the heavenly books give a lot of importance to family life. The manner of spending family life described in the Quran is not only practical, but serves as a great example to be followed. If we take examples from the family life of the holy Prophet (pbuh), we will get guidance in every sphere of family life. Let us take the case of marriage. There are orders in every respect. There are instructions about observing Purdah, education of women, her interaction with men, payment of dower and returning the dower that a woman receives from her husband in case of Khula. Quran also talks about the Prophet’s (pbuh) wives and nature of his relations with them and the numbers of wives that a person can have at one time. There are rules relating to marriage, divorce, widow and Khula. These are the most important aspects of the family life. Quran also provides solution to problems like domestic violence and sexual harassment. It also deals with present day issues of family life such as homosexuality, rights of spouses as well as rights of parents and children.
