The irfani-axiological interpretation of family and marriage in Sufi thought: a synthesis of Eastern and Western philosophical ideas

Abstract

This article analyzes the irfani-axiological interpretation of family and marriage in Sufi thought based on the synthesis of Eastern and Western philosophical ideas. Family and marriage are examined not only as social and legal institutions but also as spiritual, ethical, and metaphysical values. In Eastern Sufism, the family is seen as a source of divine love and spiritual perfection, while in Western philosophy it is interpreted as a socio-ethical institution.
