Abstract

This article examines how disaster reactivates kinship networks and shapes functionally extended family patterns among residents of Kampung Banjar, Mataram, following the 2018 Lombok earthquakes. Drawing on qualitative empirical research based on observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, the analysis traces relational changes before, during, and after the crisis. Kinship is treated as a social practice rather than merely a genealogical tie or a form of co-residence. The findings show that extended-family networks had not disappeared before the earthquakes, but in some families they operated with limited intensity. The disaster functioned as a disruptive moment that altered the relevance of these networks: relatives resumed searching for one another, communicating, gathering, circulating resources, and providing protection and care. These functions could be sustained even when family members continued to live in separate households, making the post-disaster pattern intelligible as a functionally extended family. Yet reactivation did not persist uniformly. In some families, intensified ties were largely situational and declined as everyday routines resumed; in others, crisis-generated practices became more enduring. The article argues that post-disaster family change is better understood through the renewed capacity of kinship networks to work than through household composition or emotional closeness alone across the longer recovery process.

Abstract

A ‘Sakinah’ family is something that every married couple aspires to achieve. However, social change, economic pressure, advance in communication technology and various domestic issues present certain challenges to a family’s ability to maintain tranquility, affection and harmony. This article aims to analyse the common ground between the principles of stoicism and Islamic family law in reconstructing the concept of the Sakinah family, utilising the ethical dimensions of stoicism without undermining the normative foundations of Islam. This study employs a literature review method, utilising both a philosophical and a conceptual approach to systematically examine various sources relating to stoicism, the family, ‘Sakinah’, the ‘Sakinah’ family, and Islamic family law. The research findings indicate that there are ethical points of convergence between stoicism and Islamic family law. This is particularly evident in the aspects of self-control, emotional regulation, rationally, moral responsibility, acceptance of circumstances and conflict resolution. These principles are relevant to the values  of patience (sabr), forbearance (al-hilm), trust in God (tawakkal), consultation (musyawarah) and reconciliation (islah). A family built on the principles of stoicism will certainly not be easily shaken by the various trials it faces. This is due to the key teachings of stoicism, namely: living in harmony with nature, the trichotomy of control, amor fati, premeditation malorum, and controlling one’s interpretations and perceptions. Stoicism serves as a philosophical perspective that helps to actualize the values of self-reflection (muhasabah), forbearance (al-hilm), patience (al-‘anah), positive thinking (Husnudzon), contentment (ridha), contemplation (tadabbur), and wisdom (hikmah) in the endeavour to build a ‘sakinah’ family and stoicism is positioned as a complementary ethical approach within Islamic family law.
