In the time of ignorance, the existence of women
and girls was not recognized; therefore, prostitution
arose. The family system became a blind fanaticism.
At a time when Western civilization dominated, the
family system was also influenced. Islam as a
civilization becomes a reformer. Islam changed all
traditions and replaced them with Islamic law with a
goal of prosperity for the universe (Tafsir, 2015).
The social rules that Islam brings are meant to
save people all over the place. This can happen
because Islamic Sharia is universal and valid
throughout the ages. The Prophet said: "The
marriage is my rule, who does not like my rule so he
does not belong to my class" (H.R. Bukhari).
Qur’an described the function of the creation of
man and woman as well as the essence of a marriage
as follows:
ْﻦِﻣَو ِﻪِﺗَآ ْنَأ َﻖَﻠَﺧ ْﻢُﻜَﻟ ْﻦِﻣ ْﻢُﻜِﺴُﻔْـﻧَأﺎًﺟاَوْزَأاﻮُﻨُﻜْﺴَﺘِﻟﺎَﻬْـﻴَﻟِإ َﻞَﻌَﺟَو ْﻢُﻜَﻨْـﻴَـﺑ ًةﱠدَﻮَﻣ ًﺔَْﲪَرَو ﱠنِإ
ِﰲ َﻚِﻟَذ ٍتَﻵ ٍمْﻮَﻘِﻟ َنوُﺮﱠﻜَﻔَـﺘَـﻳ
"And of His signs is that He created for you from
yourselves mates that you may find tranquility in them;
and He placed between you affection and mercy. Indeed,
in that are signs for a people who give thought. " (QS Ar-
Ruum, 21
Thus in Islam all human beings are equal. They
are created to know one another and to preserve the
kind of human descendants, through a marriage.
Differences of race and gender are the grace of Allah
SWT. With the aqad of marriage bonds, the
relationship between men and women in a family
becomes legitimate. To realize the noble purpose of
marriage and a family, it is necessary to understand
to optimize the function of the family (Tafsir, 2015).
The family is the main base that becomes the
foundation of the community, including in Islamic
community. Thus, the family is entitled to get more
attention and care in the Qur’an. In the Qur'an there
is an explanation for organizing and protecting the
family (Salman, 2013).

3 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The family in shaping the character of the child is
very important, where the Family must try to be the
ideal parent. In addition to being an example of good
morality, parents are expected to have a broad
scientific knowledge and knowledge in terms of
character, ethics and moral education can be viewed
from various other scientific disciplines. In
transferring the value is not only given in the form
of advice / lecture, but how parents create in
providing learning strategies and give example (role
model) to children at home
The importance of character education in the
formation of children's character cannot be separated
from the role of parents as educators who will
change the character of children in the family. Based
on the results of the study, parents transfer
knowledge to their children, also try to provide
education effectively and encourage children to
apply knowledge that have been obtained. In
addition, parents must be assertive in guiding their
students in complying with the rules at home
(Mahmud, 2013). The punishment given to the child
is educational and does not affect the child's mental
and mental. Children should not be too spoiled
because a spoiled child means increasing trust that
he always gets what he wants. Therefore, the family
tries to make children be independent (Supriyanti,
2006).
The results of interviews and observations to
parents show that character education provides a
change of attitude and character in the students, such
as building an honest attitude, promoting awareness
and behaviour in accordance with Islamic teachings,
and fosters the social skills. Based on the above
explanation, the early character education for
children is very necessary. Character education has
an enormous influence in minimizing children's
moral decadence today.
Education is a shared responsibility between
family, community and government, while the
school plays a role in supporting the continuation of
education in the family. The primary education the
child receives is in his family. The role of parents for
the education of children according is to provide
basic education, attitudes and basic skills such as,
religious education, manners, courtesy, aesthetics,
compassion, sense of security, and the basics to
comply with the rules.
