Allah commands Muslims to strengthen their family ties.
He commands us to maintain the ties of kinship and treat them kindly. He (Glorified be He) says, (Part No. 25; Page No. 298)
...and fear Allâh through Whom you demand (your mutual rights), and (do not cut the relations of) the wombs (kinship). Surely, Allâh is Ever an All-Watcher over you.
And:
Worship Allâh and join none with Him (in worship); and do good to parents, kinsfolk
and:
Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "Come, I will recite what your Lord has prohibited you from: Join not anything in worship with Him; be good and dutiful to your parents; kill not your children because of poverty - We provide sustenance for you and for them
and:
And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you be dutiful to your parents.
In addition to many other examples of the Qur'anic Ayahs. It was authentically reported from the Prophet (peace be upon him) that he said,
The severer (of kinship-ties) shall not enter Paradise.
(Related by
Al-Bukhari and
Muslim.) He (peace be upon him) also said,
Anyone who is pleased to be granted more wealth and his lease of life be prolonged should keep good relations with his kith and kin.
(Related by
Al-Bukhari.) He (the Prophet) also said,
Allah has forbidden you to be undutiful to your mothers, to bury your daughters alive...
(Related by
Al-Bukhari and
Muslim.) There are also many Hadith that encourage us to keep the ties of kinship, maintain the ethics of Islam and observe high moral standards and good companionship. Thereupon, the ties between Muslim families will be strong and all Muslims will be united. (Part No. 25; Page No. 299) However, this can not be achieved by dissolution and by breaching the proprieties of Islam and high moral standards.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
