religions and family roles

Abstract

   Religion is one of the important pillars of contemporary man, due to the rapid and emerging changes in the life of societies and their rapid construction, compared to what they were in the previous years, which were characterized by simplicity of life.  Changes in rules, laws and social values, which urgently necessitate a return to religion to organize people's lives and give them peace and tranquility.

   Most people are fully aware and aware of the effective influence of religion on the behavior of members of society, the formation of their ideas and their style of life, and their dealings in the minutes of daily matters.  Accordingly, religion regulates the behavior of spouses within the same family at the level of education, the acquisition of values, the establishment of family relationships and ties, and the ties between parents, relatives and the rest of society.

    Islam is the only religion that is separated from the rest of the religions by laying the foundations of those dealings, relationships and roles, based on the roles it gives to men, women, or children, until these roles are completely and flawlessly regulated, which has been achieved realistically through the behavior of members of society.  Their elders sympathize with their younger ones, and their younger ones respect their elders, and valuable social controls were established within the family, which in turn extended to society, so the social fabric remained intact despite the stormy changes and waves of rebellion and disharmony that affected our societies.

     The family is the main nucleus and the first seed in society, and the stronghold against material and moral threats, which bore the burden of confrontations between religious and irreligious debate, which led to damage to this structure. The irreligious West tried to rebuild the family on many and varied foundations and ideas.

   That is why the family in all monotheistic religions enjoys sanctity and respect, and the great role played by the legitimate family institution in raising individuals a successful upbringing through which they can effectively integrate within their societies cannot be canceled.

   The study aims to clarify the position and the prestigious position that the family occupies in human existence, and to clarify the role of religion in influencing individuals through their behavior, ideas, and dealings within.
