Purpose: This research, with an analytical-descriptive approach, examines the position of the family in religious propositions and Quranic-narrative teachings in order to discover and extract the spiritual dimensions governing social groupings, focusing on the family unit.
Materials and methods: To collect the required information, the materials and data of the library and the reliable and first-hand sources and books of the religion of Islam with emphasis on the verses and traditions have been used. The present article seeks to analyze religious texts (Qur'anic and narrative statements) with a semantic approach and text mining, and to study the concept of family in the context of Islamic life and sociology of Islam.
Findings: The family has a specific definition, function and application in sociology. In a religious approach to this concept, Islam finds a spiritual- unseen use in accordance with the mission of the Prophet and a new and different identity is formed for the family. So, the Quranic keyword "ummah" finds a sociological representation and the concept of "faithful family" dominates other relations of religious society; The rule that before in the Jahili society was in the hands of blood, lineage, relatives and tribe, and in the emerging prophetic society (Madinah al-Nabi) faith-hereafter relations become the focus of the formation of the concept of family and other social interactions of Islam. Therefore, in the family identified in Islamic propositions, at different levels of society, the bond between members of the society is formed in the form of religious brotherhood and inter-family faith relations; Relationships that go beyond this world and find spiritual and afterlife reflection.
Conclusion: Therefore, family finds a spiritual- unseen function in Quranic teachings and Islamic lifestyle; a function that is less visible in today's family studies.
