In Islam, the concept of family and relationships are highly emphasized. Muslims are taught to show kindness, love, and respect towards their relatives, as it is considered to be a form of worship.
In Islam, relatives are referred to as "ahl" and can include uncles, aunts, cousins, in-laws, and any other relatives by blood or marriage. The Qur'an and Hadiths emphasize the importance of maintaining good relationships with one's relatives and treating them with kindness, respect, and generosity.
The Qur'an mentions that Muslims should be kind to their close relatives. In Islam, the bond between relatives is considered to be sacred, and maintaining good relationships with one's relatives is considered to be a religious obligation.
Additionally, in Islam, taking care of one's elderly relatives, especially parents, is considered to be a form of worship. The Qur'an states: "Your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him, and that you be kind to parents. Whether one or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them, but address them in terms of honor." (17:23)
Here are a few Hadiths regarding relatives in Islam, with reference to their source:
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) emphasized the importance of maintaining good relationships with one's relatives in many hadiths. For example, it is narrated that the Prophet said: "The nearest of people to Allah on the Day of Judgment is the best of them in manners." (Sahih Bukhari)
"The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: 'The best of friends is he who helps a person when he is in need of help.' (Tirmidhi)
"The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: 'No one of you truly believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself.'" (Bukhari and Muslim)
"The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: 'The bonds of kinship are suspended to the throne of Allah. So whoever upholds them, Allah will uphold him, and whoever severs them, Allah will sever him.'" (Ahmad)
"The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: 'Allah is with those who have good manners. He loves those who have good manners. And He hates those who have bad manners.'" (Tirmidhi)
These Hadiths show the importance of treating one's relatives with kindness and respect, and demonstrate the benefits that come with upholding the bonds of kinship.
Therefore, in Islam, the relationship between relatives is highly valued and it is considered to be a way to gain the pleasure of Allah.
