Shaping the Future:Giving the Muslim Family a Helping Hand The family is at the center of the Islamic way of life anywhere in the world. The Qur'an exhorts the believers "Save yourselves and your families from hell-fire," thus placing the family at the core of one's responsibility in this life. Numerous hadith extol the virtues of taking care of one's family. In today's society, this responsibility takes on a new meaning, both from the perspective of an individual being responsible for a family and the family itself functioning as a family.
