Abstract

The concept of a Sakinah family is crucial for married couples in Islam, as it represents a harmonious and peaceful family life. This study aims to explore the concept of a Sakinah family from an Islamic perspective, focusing on Jasser Auda's interpretation of Maqāṣid al-Syarīʻah and its relevance to Islamic Family Law. Using a descriptive content analysis approach, this library-based research analyzes primary sources, including books on the Sakinah family and Auda’s work on Maqāṣid al-Syarīʻah, as well as secondary data for support. The findings reveal that the concept of a Sakinah family, based on Auda’s six principles-cognitive nature, wholeness, interrelated hierarchy, openness, multidimensionality, and purposefulness-extends beyond fulfilling marital rights and duties. It also includes psychological, worldview, and developmental aspects, emphasizing love, mutual understanding, adjustments, and forgiveness. These factors contribute to a peaceful family environment. The relationship between the Sakinah family concept and Islamic Family Law is complementary, with a focus on mutual understanding, openness, and respect for each other’s rights and obligations.
