To establish peace in the family, we must first initiate change within ourselves and then show love and respect towards each other.
Establishing peace and harmony in the family is closely related to good conduct, effective communication, and avoidance of tensions. The Holy Quran addresses this matter explicitly in several verses, emphasizing the significance of peace and love in family relationships. One crucial verse in this regard is Surah Ar-Ra'd, verse 11, which states, 'Indeed, Allah does not change the condition of a people until they change what is within themselves.' This key point reminds us that to establish peace in the family, the first step must be to initiate change within ourselves; a willingness to reform behavior and relationships with others. Additionally, in Surah An-Nur, verse 35, Allah describes the light and brightness of believing families, emphasizing the importance of mutual affection and respect. Creating opportunities for dialogue, listening to each other's opinions, and accepting diversity in solutions can significantly reduce tensions. In this context, praying and seeking God's assistance for guidance in family relationships is also essential.
Indeed, Allah does not change the condition of a people until they change what is within themselves.
Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth.
One day in a family, the father and mother were having a heated argument. Their child, who was listening attentively, decided to find a solution to this issue. He remembered the Quranic verses and wanted to approach his parents with love and respect. By creating dialogue and listening to their opinions, peace returned to the home. This experience taught him that establishing peace requires effort from all family members.
