The term Fesād (corruption) and its derivatives have been used in the Holy Qur’an about five times. This article seeks to provide the readers with its meaning and causes as well as different types of corruptors and their punishment from the Qur’an’s viewpoint. In the Holy Qur’an, Efsād means “to leave the track of moderation,” and people’s violation of God’s orders, tyranny of cruel kings, and friendship with the unbelievers are its manifestations which are themselves divided into two general categories: innate and acquired. The latter is divided into ideological, moral, legal, and social subcategories. The Holy Qur’an also imposes penalties for corruption in the current word and the world to come. Ideological corruptors will suffer punishment in the world to come while the moral corruptors will be punished in the current world. Furthermore, legal and political corruptors are introduced as corruptors on the earth and punished by the virtuous servants of God.

The Holy Quran regards family as a holy institution and calls all people to form one. Accordingly, it makes provisions and offers instructions on the permanence and stability of the families. This paper, therefore, is an attempt to investigate factors contributing to the stability of families. Included among the major factors contributing to this purpose, looked at from a Quranic perspective, are to observe moral principles and values such as piety and religiousness, to take on moral virtues, to be of equal position and proportion, to look for noble lineage in opting for one’s marriage partner, to show compassion and affection to one’s spouse, to assume responsibility for one’s family members specifically as regards to moral and ideological issues, to control one’s sexual tendencies and to direct them towards a system of marriage [rather than other types of sexual partnership], to maintain one’s moral obligations towards one another, to respect the rights of other family members, to reduce family conflicts and find a logical and fair method of conflict resolution.
