The family is the bedrock of society and the building block of human civilization. A healthy, loving, and moral family is fundamental to the survival and wellbeing of individuals as well as our race as a whole. To produce a community grounded in divine values, you must begin with the family, even before the individual!

In this series, we examine primary Islamic scriptures; the Quran and words of the Prophet and his household. We discuss thorny issues and extrapolate practical solutions to pressing questions, like: What is the ideal family in Islam? What to look for in a spouse? What are the comjtractxual obligations in a marriage? What are the roles assigned to each member of the family? How does Islam incentivize a moral family structure? What is the web of rights and responsibilities as per the Prophet and his successors? What are the various factors threatening divine family values today? Is Islam patriarchal or matrilineal when it comes to the family?
