<![CDATA[This study analyzes the reconstruction of the concept of emotional boundary in Surah Maryam (19:41–47) through the al-adab al-ijtimā‘ī interpretive approach and Murray Bowen Bowen Family Systems Theory (BFST). It is motivated by the increasing phenomenon of family estrangement, emotional cutoff, and no-contact practices in modern families caused by value conflicts and emotional distress. The study aims to examine the construction of emotional boundary in Surah Maryam (19:41–47), reconstruct the Qur’anic concept of relational boundaries, and relate it to BFST within contemporary family dynamics. This research is a library study using tafsir ijtimā‘ī and contextual approaches. Primary data are drawn from Tafsir Al-Mishbah by M. Quraish Shihab, supported by classical commentaries such as Jami' al-Bayan, Al-Jami' li Ahkam al-Qur'an, and Tafsir Ibn Kathir. The analysis involves textual examination of verses, comparative exegesis, identification of relational values, and conceptual dialogue with BFST. The findings show that Surah Maryam (19:41–47) constructs emotional boundary through empathetic communication, emotional regulation, and firm faith commitment. Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) maintains respect while establishing boundaries when faith is threatened. The study formulates Peaceful No Contact as an ethical and spiritual model of Qur’anic family relations]]>
