Abstract

The ideological and intellectual differences among family members and the challenges that arise between them is an issue that contemporary society grapples with. These differences can either harm and create problems for the husband and wife, as the core of the family, or lead to ideological, intellectual, and cultural confrontations in the relationship between parents and children instead of fostering understanding, resulting in a rift within the family and sometimes complete separation. Based on the teachings of the "Surah Al-Insan", the main factors of intellectual unity among family members that lead to practical unity as well, are the type of attitude family members have towards the Creator of the universe and the concept of monotheism, as well as the extent of their monotheistic performance in their shared life. While the serious damage to today's families stems from the confrontation of ideas and the disintegration of families, this study, using a descriptive-analytical method, first explains the characteristics of a sublime and complete family according to the "Surah Al-Insan" which as presents a successful model of life. And then, it analyzes the causes of intellectual confrontation among family members that lead to family tensions, as well as the factors of intellectual unity that lead to practical unity in the family, centered on the "Surah Al-Insan".
