An Introduction to Explanation of Fundamental Role of Family on Social Consensus

Increasingly, the human society is taking some distance from human and kind relationships and approaching legal forces and surveillance. It cannot continue this trend. Humankind must live by his innate qualities and has the relationship with others based on his creation plan. With an archival analytical method, this paper seeks to provide some Quranic solutions to that problem. In the view of Quran, seeing only the self is a strategic mistake by humankind interacting with the self and is a symptom of forgetting the self. God has considered humanity in pairs, created couples from a 'single person,' deemed caring of family relationship necessary and designed human relations in this framework. From this view, forming a family is the starting point to be united and is learning about living in human society and practice of agreement with others. Not regarding human's relationships in the form of family is destroying natural and innate human relationships and leads to the necessity of coercion for achieving consensus. In this view, ethical integration and assuming obligation become more important than sexual passion and need in the woman and man relationships so that a favorable environment for physical development and spiritual and ethical promotion of children will exist and they will experience a consensual and convergent life in the family society. A consensus encountered in the small family community is the best context for internal social consensus. In that society, talking about "humans are organs of one body" makes sense, and with alleviating legal coercion, social relationships can be sustainable.
