Narrative of family life in Divine Books: A comparative study

Dr. Muhammad Abdullah*

According to the common belief of Muslims, ALLAH the Almighty sent nearly 124000 prophets and messengers to this world for guidance of mankind with some being given holy scriptures. Some prophets came with divine laws (Shariah). Four important books were also revealed to prophets by ALLAH, which besides discussing other matters, also provide instructions about family life. Because family is the basic unit of the society so the details about family life exist in all four holy books, namely Tawrat, Zabur (Book of Psalms), Injil (Gospel), The Qur'an. Likewise, signing of a marriage contract, protection of financial rights of women after marriage, better training and guidance of children, conditions of separation in case of discord, determination of inheritance etc, instructions about all these types of issues and detailed directions are given in the heavenly books.

In this article all aspects of family life will be highlighted according to the teachings of these books, and then intra-comparison will also be done. This write up will play very important role in inter-religious harmony.
