The duty of maintaining silaturrahim
4 April 2025
Silaturrahim transcends tradition and customs. It is a religious obligation that reflects a Muslim’s faith, to the extent that it is tied to the command of taqwa.
Maintaining good ties with family and relatives, returning acts of kindness, and fostering warm relations could contribute to fulfilling a person’s social needs. Islam, however, adds the dimension of blessing of life that comes from upholding family bonds.
Silaturrahim also means wanting the best for our relatives. Therefore, we must be attentive to their well-being, in both worldly affairs and religious matters.
