Islam has meticulously defined the family structure. Islam encourages the establishment of an (Islamic) household by legislating marriage and it promotes this by explaining that marriage is (an institution of) relaxation, tranquility and comfort to be enjoyed by both spouses. It elucidates that marriage is serene to the soul and prolongs life until its final end. Allah said: “And among his Signs is this; that he created for you wives from among yourselves, that you may find repose in them, and He has put between you affection and mercy.” [Surah Ar-Ruum: 21)
Allah said: “The women are a body cover, or screen, for you to enjoy the pleasure of living with them, and you are the same for them.” [Surah Al-Baqarah: 187]
This is how the Qur’an in many verses speaks about the establishment of an Islamic family; and this is done in various ways, as we have witnessed.
