MAINTENANCE AND PRESERVATION OF KINSHIP RELATIONS (SYLYATUL-ARHAM) IN ISLAM

Abstract

The concept of kinship and kinship relations is of great importance in all societies. Kinship is primarily a relationship between people that is formed based on their biological origin. The relatives of a branch of the same tree are the fruits of the same tree that are related to each other by blood ties. It is very important for a historian and an ethnographer to study the history of the people, the social institutions of society, including the kinship system. In this matter, the kinship system is the key through which we get very important information about the history of a particular people. The article tells about the origin of man in Islam, about the common humanity that descends from Adam, about their features, about similarities, differences, peculiarities in matters of character, behavior, and morality in them. The article was based on information about kinship relations in connection with their representation in Islam, as well as the name, definition, origin, and modern classification
of this issue in ethnological science. The concept of “siyatul-arham” is considered, which is an issue related to the maintenance and preservation of kinship relations in Islam.
