Family is the first foundation of social life. Family refers to the unitary environment formed by the combination of husband and wife, children, parents and siblings. The importance of family life is very important in building a beautiful society. The wisdom of the Almighty God is that he started the family life on earth through the original father Hazrat Adam (AS) and the original mother Eve (AS), which still exists today.
Living alone without family and society is difficult and almost impossible. From childhood to adolescence, all activities including happiness and sorrow, love and affection, service and care are done through family and social ties. Sacred and civilized social system is necessary for orderly and normal flow of life. The system that we want to be in is full and beneficial guidance at all levels. This instruction is found in Islam. Since Islam is a fulfilling life system.
Islam has made arrangements for marriage between men and women for a beautiful and holy life. Marriage is the only legitimate way to establish a relationship between a man and a woman and a tool to protect one's character and chastity. Marriage establishes the essentials of establishing happiness and peace in family life and fulfilling rights, responsibilities and duties among each other.
It is the religious duty of every Muslim to get married without delay if he is an adult and able. Marriage is not only a biological need, but also a great act of worship. This and the next welfare is achieved through marriage. Marriage makes people's lives sophisticated, elegant and holy. Marriage is one of the means of building an ideal family, fulfilling biological needs, peace of mind and growth of the human race.
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): "And another sign is that He has created for you a mate from among yourselves, so that you may be at peace with them, and He has created between you harmony and kindness" (Room 21).
Ella Allahu ta'ala says elsewhere: 'They (wives) are your garments and you (husbands) are their garments (Baqara-17). Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “Marry those of you who are single, and those of your male and female slaves who are righteous. If they are destitute, Allah will enrich them of His bounty. Allah is Abundant, Omniscient. Those who are unable to get married should exercise restraint until Allah, by His grace, frees them from want (Noor-32-33).
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: Whoever abandons my Sunnah is not of my party '(Bukhari-465). There is no place for monasticism in Islam. So people cannot be full Muslims unless they get married. It is narrated in the hadith: 'When a servant gets married, he fulfills half of his faith (Mishkat). 'There is no asceticism in Islam and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade living in asceticism (Abi Shaybah: 10/5).
The main purpose of celebrating 'Family Day' is to create awareness in order to institutionalize the family in social progress and development to keep the family ties intact. In order to strengthen the family bond, Allahgaitayala introduced the first system of marriage contract, which started with Hazrat Adam and Eve (AS) and gradually expanded.
Regarding the family system, anthropologist Malinowski rightly said, "The family is a group or organization and marriage is a contract for the production and rearing of children." Because in this marriage lies the purity and well-being of human life. The sanctity and well-being of the society, the state and the world humanity depends on the sanctity and well-being of the individual and the family.
It is clear from the two verses of the Qur'an that the human race has expanded from family ties. If people of all races and tribes are divided into different families and perform their duties properly, then that family will be established as the best ideal family in the society. Where there are books of peace. Every member of the family will be happy and joyful.
When the family members are aware of the sense of responsibility given by Allah, the wife will get her rights in full. When the husband gets his rights from the wife, the child gets the close companionship of the parents and their rights, when the relatives get the proper respect and dignity of each other, then no wife will have any dissatisfaction. No husband will be addicted to another woman in love and beautiful life, no child will live a disobedient life disobedient to his parents and Allah's mercy, blessings and grace will continue to be showered on the strength of the relationship between relatives.
Not only that, the family life guided by Islam is the great grace of Allah. If people are accustomed to the family life given by Allah, all kinds of criminal tendencies and miserable life like old age home will be eradicated from the society forever. Therefore, in order to form a beautiful and ideal family, following the instructions of Allah and the Prophet (peace be upon him) is an essential demand of the faith of every Muslim.
