Since ancient times, man has searched for quality of life or happiness, and religions since Noah (peace be upon him) until the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) called for quality of life.Quality and mastery in all matters of life are also one of the basics of our true religion, as the command to do so is not appropriate in the Book of God Almighty and in the Sunnah of his Prophet Muhammad. The Almighty said: "He who created death and life to give you the best deed, and He is the Mighty and Forgiving." In the same context comes the confirmation of the purified Sunnah. The Prophet, may God's prayers and peace be upon him, said, "God has written charity on everything." This can only come with wise management of all its human and material resources and their proper utilization. Especially as we live in the era of scientific and technical progress, which is characterized by change and development, and it is not possible to face this change and the problems that may result from it, and it is not possible to achieve success and various ambitions without preparing and planning human resources and choosing the best ways to use them to ensure the achievement of its goals. The management of family resources is the only effective means that helps the family to use its human and material resources in the best possible use to achieve its goals and satisfy its multiple, diverse and evolving needs, as it is the means that create a normal climate for family relations and interactions.
