Abstract

Upbringing in the family is the foundation of human growth and excellence. The performance of the family as a social unit plays an undeniable role in establishing the manner of social interactions and reactions, and healthy and constructive performance guarantees the health of society. Accordingly, in the conduct of the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them), especially in the teachings of Imam Reza (peace be upon him), much attention has been paid to the upbringing of individuals in this environment. The main objective of the article was to examine the importance of forming the family, strategies for consolidating the family institution, and the role of parents in the emotional upbringing of children from the perspective of the conduct and teachings of Imam Reza (peace be upon him), using a descriptive-analytical method for data collection. The result of the investigation shows that adherence to religious teachings and acting upon the conduct and thoughts of the Infallible Imams (peace be upon them) will be a strong barrier against the obstacles to consolidating the family institution. To strengthen the relationships among family members, one should act by creating an emotional atmosphere and understanding the legitimate needs and desires of both parties.
