Kinship means relatives on the sides of both the mother and father; namely the parents and their parents up in several levels, the children and their children down in several levels, the brothers and their children and their children, the sisters and their children, and uncles and aunts. Islam urged us to learn the names of our relatives in order to maintain good and close ties with them.
