Abstract

This study aims to analyze miscommunication as a causal factor in divorce within modern Muslim families through a thematic communication approach grounded in the Qur’an and Hadith. The dynamics of marital life demonstrate that many conflicts in marriage do not arise from fundamental incompatibilities, but rather from the couple’s failure to understand, convey, and respond to messages effectively. Using a qualitative method based on literature review and thematic analysis, this research examines Qur’anic verses on family communication, such as the principles of mu’āsyarah bi al-ma‘rūf, mawaddah wa rahmah, as well as the exemplary conduct of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in resolving interpersonal tensions. The findings indicate that miscommunication emerges from rigid interaction patterns, the absence of healthy emotional dialogue, and the erosion of empathy within marital relationships. The Qur’an offers communication principles that emphasize reciprocity, patience, and respect, while the Hadith presents a prophetic model of communication that prioritizes gentleness, clarification, and proportional conflict resolution. The analysis of divorce cases shows that when these values are neglected, miscommunication escalates into destructive conflict that ultimately leads to marital dissolution. This study concludes that strengthening Qur’anic communication and prophetic exemplars constitutes a strategic effort in building the resilience of Muslim families amid the complexities of contemporary social life.
