Love-Based Family Law Education Family Relationship Ecology and Sustainable Community Development in Islamic Perspective

Abstract

This article explores the intersection of love-based family law education, family relationship ecology, and sustainable community development through an Islamic lens. Islamic family law, grounded in the principles of mawaddah  (love), rahmah  (mercy), and sakinah  (tranquility), offers a comprehensive framework for fostering harmonious family relationships that contribute to broader societal sustainability. This study examines how love-centered approaches to family law education can strengthen family bonds, promote social cohesion, and support sustainable development goals. By integrating Islamic teachings on family relationships with contemporary ecological perspectives, this article demonstrates that families functioning as healthy ecosystems become the foundation for sustainable communities. The analysis reveals that when family law education emphasizes emotional intelligence, compassion, and mutual respect alongside legal rights and obligations, it cultivates resilient family structures capable of addressing modern challenges while maintaining Islamic values. This holistic approach positions the family as the primary unit for achieving sustainable social, economic, and environmental development within Muslim communities.
