The concept of keluarga sakinah (harmonious family) in Islam is a household structure based on faith and devotion to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala. However, in contemporary society, many marriages deviate from Islamic principles, despite marriage being a fundamental teaching rooted in love, compassion, and mutual cooperation. These deviations are often influenced by cultural norms, traditional practices, and social pressures, which can lead to unhealthy marital relationships. This study aims to analyze the concept of harmonious family according to Sheikh Al-Albani from the perspective of maqashid al-syari’ah and its relevance to Muslim family life. The research employs a qualitative approach with a literature study as the primary data collection method. The collected data is analyzed using a descriptive-analytical method to evaluate the relationship between Sheikh Al-Albani’s concept of keluarga sakinah and the principles of maqashid al-syari’ah. The findings indicate that Sheikh Al-Albani’s concept of harmonious family strongly correlates with the five main principles of maqashid al-syari’ah: the protection of religion (hifdz ad-diin), life (hifdz an-nafs), intellect (hifdz al-‘aql), lineage (hifdz an-nasl), and wealth (hifdz al-maal). His perspective emphasizes the importance of maintaining the sanctity of marriage, preserving harmony, and upholding the values of sharia in household life. Therefore, a deeper understanding of this concept can serve as a foundation for building harmonious families oriented toward Islamic values and enriching the academic discourse on harmonious family within the Islamic perspective.
