Keywords:
Sakinah family, Islamic jurisprudence, Family harmony, Marital relation-shipsAbstract
This research examines the concept of sakinah (tranquil) family in Islamic tradition, analyzing both its theoretical foundations in Islamic jurisprudence and practical applications in contemporary Muslim family life. Through qualitative analysis of classical Islamic texts and contemporary scholarly interpretations, this study identifies key principles and practices that con-tribute to family harmony within an Islamic framework. The findings reveal that the sakinah family concept represents a comprehensive approach to family well-being that integrates spiritual, emotional, ethical, and practical dimensions of family relationships. This research demonstrates how Islam-ic teachings on marriage, parenting, conflict resolution, and gender rela-tions can be interpreted and applied to foster family harmony while ad-dressing contemporary challenges. The study concludes that the Islamic sakinah family model offers valuable insights for developing culturally ap-propriate family strengthening approaches within Muslim communities while potentially contributing to broader discourse on family well-being across cultural contexts.
