Maintaining ties of kinship

Contents > Social Life in Islam > Maintaining ties of kinship

Silat ar-Rahm - You must maintain links and good relations with your relatives. Allah says,

“[Ask them:] “Would you, perchance, after having turned away [from God’ (saw) commandment, prefer to revert to your old ways, and] spread corruption on earth, and [once again] cut asunder your ties of kinship?”” al-Qur’an, Surah Muhammad, 47:22

The Prophet (saw) narrated in the Hadith Qudsi that Allah says,

“I am Ar-Rahman, I created the womb (Rahm) and split is as a name from my name. Whoever maintains its ties, I maintain ties with him and whoever severs it, I will sever him.” Sunan al-Tirmizi

And the Prophet (saw) said,

“He will not enter Jannah, the one who cuts off (links of kinship).” Saheeh al-Bukhari

And,

“Maintain your links of Ar-Rahm (wasilu al-arhaam).”
