- families
- Islam
- Muslim's care for elderly parents with respect and kindness because they lived and cared for children
- Polygamy was to protect women who couldn't support themselves if their husband died
- parents are expected to:
- love, care, set a good example
- bring them up in Islam faith
- support them when finding a partner
- "honour your children and perfect their manners"
- same-sex marriage is wrong because they can't set a good example for their kids
- Qur'an states that married people are "protected" and "guarded" from outside dangers and this is extended to further family members
- Children are a blessing from God
- disrespect is a sin even as adults but also as children to their elders
- "It is one of the greatest sins that a man should curse his parents"
- Muslims don't see elderly people as a burden, and they often have their elderly parents living with them rather than a care home because they see it as an honour
- elders are seen as a source of wisdom
- "Heaven is under the feet of the mothers"
- strong family ties help strengthen the Muslim community - the ummah
- rituals such as aqiqah and the bismillah ceremony mark the start of the child's religious education and help connect the child to the faith
- Christianity
- family life is important because it is where a child learns to love because love is a the heart of all relationships
- "Honour your father and your mother"
- "Listen to your father, who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old"
- people in the Bible practised polygamy, however Christians believe the ideal marriage of one man with one woman for life was created at the beginning
- traditional Christians believe that the ideal is for children to grow up with a male and female role model but others believe it is important for children to be in a secure and loving family regardless the gender of their parents
- an important role of Christian parents is educating children in their faith and being good role models to them by teaching them good moral values
- "bring [your children] up in the training and instruction of the Lord"
- christian parents make prayer a part of their daily routine and send them to faith schools or groups run by their coach
- Christians believe that children are gifts from God and that children must obey, love and respect their parents
- "Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord"
- "Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever"
- family life is seen as a way to build a stable society
- "family is 'the first and vital cell of society'"
- Islam
