Background and aim: One of the most important social issues emphasized by divine scriptures, including the Qur'an, is maintaining ties of kinship. This has been downplayed in the society in the current era for some reasons. This research was conducted to investigate the role of this divine duty in the physical and mental health of family members with the aim of promoting the duty of "Silat Al-Rahim", which means maintaining ties of kinship.
Materials and methods: This research was conducted with a descriptive-analytical approach. Data collection to achieve the research objectives was done from the Holy Quran and authentic narrational texts related to the subject, using data collection forms and analyzing them qualitatively.
Findings: Based on the findings of this research, maintaining ties of kinship is one of the most important teachings of Islam in relationship with relatives. Bonding with relatives and being kind to them is one of the most important ways to grow and excel physically and spiritually in the family and getting closer to God Almighty. Among the most important worldly effects of maintaining ties of kinship, one can mention longer life, increase in sustenance, eradication of poverty, provision of physical health, peace of mind, overcoming depression, better management of worldly affairs. Among the afterlife effects, one can mention ease of reckoning and protection from sin. Also, severing ties of kinship leads to the curse of God and the person going to hell.
