Building trust is like building a bridge. It requires multiple skills and steps: intention, determination, strategy, architecture, engineering, and gathering supplies. It involves labour and at times risks. It needs constant care and maintenance.
The Qur’an describes the family as “an abode of peace,” a system with non- linear dynamics based on the inherent equality of gender: “He created you of a single soul, put affection and mercy between your hearts.” (Qur'an 3:195)
Before a couple experiencing conflict in their marriage decides to go forward with a divorce, there are a number of options they can consider to try to resolve their differences. One is arbitration.
There are so many critical issues couples should consider before marriage. Iinstead couples are often more consumed with the planning of a wedding, buying the perfect dress, or worrying about who to invite than discussing issues that have a long term effect.
People with weak faith cannot bear the trust. Allah has given an example of how its burden bears down man’s whole existence. Therefore, it should not be considered an ordinary thing.
Qur'anic teachings were designed to ensure the maximum welfare of all family members, so they do not create impossible situations by ignoring the human realities of conflict and divorce.
Although families have many roles and functions, their main value lies in the web of intricate relationships they weave, which are irreplaceable by any other social form or structure.
