In Islam it is stressed that all humans are created equal before their Lord. Rather than bloodline, power or wealth, the only hierarchy among people is based according to righteousness:
Qur'an (Surah al-Hujurat (49:13)) O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise (each other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of God is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And God has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things).
The question is particularly addressed in the story of Noah or Nur (as). Noah was devastated by the death of his son in the flood, and confused because Allah had earlier promised him the safety of his 'family':
"O my Lord! Verily my son is of my family! And certainly your promise is true and you are the Most Just of the judges." (Quran 11:45)
Allah replies:
"He said: 'Oh Noah! Surely, he is not of your family; verily, his work is unrighteous, so ask not of Me that of which you have no knowledge! I admonish you, lest you be one of those who are ignorant.'" (Quran 11:46)
So in Islam our family (brothers and sisters) are those who share our belief (deen), not necessarily those we happen to be related to.
