The main purpose of this course is to prepare students in responding to contemporary challenges family as an institution is facing at national and a global level. Home plays a vital role in transfer of value, mannerism, and development of personality. An individual is born, brought up, and trained in family-atmosphere; this leaves an everlasting impression on one’s personality and character. Human character and habits are formed at home. This influence not only on human’s life pattern but also on his role in society. The Qur’an lays great emphasis on family life and provides guidance on good family. A well knitted family system serves as solid foundation for the society and building future of mankind. It is time to contemplate on the foundations, on which family life is built in the contemporary world and compare it with the guidelines provided by Islam.
