<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the role of women academics in fostering sakinah families and to develop an understanding of ḥifẓ al-nasl through the perspective of mubādalah (reciprocal partnership). This study employs a qualitative method with a case study approach involving six female lecturers at the Faculty of Islamic Studies, Ibn Khaldun University, Bogor. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, and analyzed through data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. Thematic analysis was conducted by integrating empirical findings with the framework of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah. The findings indicate that the formation of a sakinah family depends not only on women’s ability to manage time and fulfill caregiving responsibilities but also on husbands’ involvement in religious education, moral development, children’s character formation, and meeting family needs. The study’s conceptual contribution emphasizes that the implementation of ḥifẓ al-nasl should be understood in terms of reciprocal caregiving responsibilities rather than as a domestic burden borne solely by women. The protection and development of future generations are also interconnected with ḥifẓ al-dīn (protection of religion), ḥifẓ al-‘aql (protection of intellect), and ḥifẓ al-nafs (protection of life). Thus, integrating ḥifẓ al-nasl and mubādalah offers a conceptual framework for understanding sakinah families that emphasizes marital partnership, equitable distribution of responsibilities, and the sustainable development of future generations in the context of modern professional life]]>
