Abstract :
Family as an effective institution in education and training of human being has nowadays been facing new forms that requires to present a fixed definition of it. Some people believe that by forming an institution like school the educational function of the family will be fulfilled and therefore the position and value of the family would be insignificant, though the family has some roles which no institution can undertake and take its place. Accordingly, this article aim to study the definition of “family” and its educational function in the Qur'an and Hadith. The research method applied in this article is documentary study and Semantics is used for the definition of “family” and for identification of family’s educational function, the analytical method is used. The results show that according to what Quran and Hadith says, family is formed by the lawful (allowed) relationship between husband and wife, their children and their causal and relative kinship. According to these sources family fulfills functions effective in moral education and training of its members. Also kindness and friendship between the family members and the continuity of relationship between parents and children and the type of the relationship between the family and the children reduces the problems and shortcomings stemming from the school teachings. Besides, as the family plays the practical role of the moral and religious actions, holds more effective influence on children in comparison to school. All in all the institution of family entails moral and religious functions in educating and training its members to the extent that school can never take its place.
