The Rights of Parents, Relatives, and Vulnerable Groups: Teachings of Surah An-Nisa

Abstract

This research examines the rights of parents, relatives, and vulnerable groups in the light of the teachings of Surah An-Nisa. The Qur’an presents a comprehensive framework of social justice, family responsibility, compassion, and protection of disadvantaged members of society. Surah An-Nisa particularly emphasizes kindness toward parents and relatives, protection of orphans, fair distribution of inheritance, rights of women, and assistance to needy and vulnerable people. The study adopts a qualitative and thematic approach to analyze relevant verses of Surah An-Nisa along with contemporary scholarly literature published between 2023 and 2026. The findings indicate that Islamic teachings establish the protection of vulnerable individuals as a collective moral and social responsibility. The Qur’anic guidance not only provides legal rights but also promotes compassion, dignity, equality, justice, and social responsibility. The study concludes that implementation of these teachings can contribute significantly to strengthening family relationships, protecting disadvantaged groups, reducing social injustice, and developing a balanced and responsible society.
