Abstract

Prayer is the establishment of values and the prevention of the disintegration of the personality of individuals and members of society. Prayer should be sought more in its capacity and constructive effects in various educational and social dimensions, and not limited to individual supplication. The family system, as the first social rule and the best place for preserving human dignity and ensuring the psychological tranquility of its members, has now suffered from various moral disorders and social misconduct, the most important factor of which must be sought in the element of weakness of faith and neglect of prayer and remembrance of God. Therefore, deep and comprehensive attention to the most important requirements of prayer can be considered highly effective in strengthening faith and reducing moral and behavioral damages, especially in the realm of the family. The elucidation of the relationship between prayer and the family, with an emphasis on highlighting the role of prayer in strengthening the family system and combating moral and social offences, can be deemed as the most important issue of this article.
