Abstract
purpose:Strengthening family bonds, as a fundamental pillar of societal stability, holds a significant position in the Quran. This study aims to investigate the factors contributing to family cohesion based on Quranic verses and conduct a qualitative analysis of related research. Materials and Methods:This meta-analytical study examined 15 scholarly articles selected based on methodological and content-related criteria concerning family strengthening from the Quran's perspective. Findings:The research identifies the strengths and weaknesses of prior studies, focusing on factors such as affection, mutual respect, justice, and cooperation within the family as highlighted in the Quran. The findings reveal that despite extensive research in this area, certain dimensions of family strengthening in the Quran remain underexplored. Moreover, theoretical approaches were found to dominate over empirical ones. Conclusion:This study highlights existing research gaps and proposes future directions for investigations to address overlooked dimensions of family strengthening from the perspective of Quranic teachings.
