Abstract

Islam provides a comprehensive code of life that addresses every aspect of human 
existence, aiming to solve both individual and collective issues. The family unit is 
central to societal stability, and the Quran emphasizes the importance of family life. 
Islam offers detailed guidance on establishing a stable and robust family system, 
addressing even the minutiae of family dynamics. The first institution established on 
earth was the family, with Prophet Adam (peace be upon him) being its pioneer. The 
stability of the family is crucial for societal harmony, as a disintegrated family leads to 
societal disorder. Modern Western societies are experiencing the fragmentation of the 
family unit and are actively seeking to undermine strong family systems globally through 
various means. In contrast, Islam regards the family as a sacred institution, and it is the duty of 
Muslim societies to uphold and propagate this system. The decline of family stability is 
largely attributed to the abandonment of religious principles. To prevent societal 
collapse, a return to religious values and adherence to Islamic family principles is 
essential. This paper explores the forms of family stability, its positive aspects, prohibitive 
factors, and the responsibilities of men, women, and the state in maintaining family integrity
