The family, as a fundamental and progressive institution, is responsible for providing support and livelihood needs to bring spouses to desired peace, and the role of the family in childbearing, raising children, and socializing them is very distinguished. For this reason, the manifest religion of Islam has taken the necessary grounds and arrangements for the growth of human virtues, deepening beliefs, and arousing positive passion and feelings.
One of these arrangements is that it has introduced the infallible leaders (peace be upon them) as role models and guides, and has linked the feelings and emotions of the faithful people to their love. One of the most important manifestations of expressing love and devotion to the infallible leaders (peace be upon them) is organizing and participating in feasts and celebrations, as well as mourning and sorrow gatherings for those noble people. The aim of this research was to examine the role of divine rituals in strengthening the family, relying on the mourning and joy ceremonies of the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them). This research was conducted using library resources and a descriptive-analytical approach. Therefore, at the beginning, the meaning of divine rituals and its examples were examined to clarify that the revival of mourning and joy ceremonies of the Ahl al-Bayt (a.s.) is one of the most important manifestations of the veneration of divine rituals in Islamic-Iranian culture. Next, the individual and collective effects of participating in such religious ceremonies were explored. Finally, by analyzing the relationship between the two, the role of divine rituals of mourning and joy ceremonies of the Ahl al-Bayt (a.s.) on the characteristics of family consolidation, as determined from the verses of the Quran and interpretative sources, was proven and led to the following results: The effect of the capacities of the mourning and joy ceremonies of the Ahl al-Bayt (a.s.) was divided into two groups: individual and collective; individual capacities include: health and well-being, strengthening the role of parents, restoring religious identity, psychological effects, and a sense of group belonging. The impact of collective capacities includes: social vitality, social cohesion, leisure and entertainment, education and awareness, and normative unity; then, under each capacity, its impact on the Quranic ideal family with the characteristic of consolidation was explained, and thus it was proven that the veneration of divine rituals plays a role in strengthening the family.
