The family, youth, and society: a study from an Islamic perspective by Hassan Abdul Ghani Abu Ghadah

The family is the first social unit for the emergence of man, and the effective influential factor in shaping his thoughts, values, behavior, and determining his attitudes. In this book, there is an explanation of the concept of the Muslim family — parents, mothers, spouses, children, brothers, and relatives — and an explanation of its importance, characteristics, pillars, and the landmarks of its formation and continuity, including marriage, separation, rulings, manners, connected to the rights and duties of its members, their problems, ways of prevention, and treatment. It also explains the characteristics of young men and women, their needs, problems, ways of prevention, and treatment, and their role in developing and improving society. The book also discusses society, its landmarks, problems, and issues related to intoxicants, drugs, smoking, terrorism, their legal rulings, causes, harms, methods of prevention, and treatment. All of this is accompanied by the clarification of the legal wisdom and human objectives that Islam seeks, in light of the guidance of the Book of Allah, the teachings of the Prophet (peace be upon him), the biographies of the companions, and those who came after them from the righteous and pure. The more the family adheres to Islamic guidance and raises its children upon it, the greater their share and society’s share of affection, love, happiness, prosperity, and a decent, reassuring life.
