Synopsis

Islam teaches that marriage is "half of religion". Because it fulfills so many basic needs of individuals and of society, it is the cornerstone upon which the whole Muslim life is built. This highly readable book takes the reader through the relevant passages in the Qur'an and Hadith, and goes on to discuss the main social, emotional and sexual problems that can afflict relationships, suggesting many practical ways in which these can be resolved.

About this title

Review:

I received this book as a gift, unfortunately after I had read such horrible books as "Kitabul Nikkah", which victimized the wife to an unbelievable extent. This book will give you a realistic and practical approach to a decent Muslim marriage, living in modern times, and in a non-Muslim society. I think this book is long overdue, and finally sheds light on the female perspective of a healthy marriage. --By ayesha akhtar on April 26, 2002

Subhanallah! Finally a true rendering of what marriage in an Islamic home should be. No more quotes, passages of hadiths, and stories (although we NEED them). I am speaking about actual HOW TO live in a healthy, religious, loving and peaceful home. HOW to make it, HOW to break it, HOW to honor it, and all the HOW TO's. Next to Shaykh Abdullah Adhami's audio, Gender Relations, this book MUST be read together with your intendent! She quotes books of fiqh, that my teacher blushed and skipped over reading because of it's straight forwardness! This book will whip any Muslim couple into shape becuase of the time you spent wasting on feeding your naafs more and more garbage, when you should have been filling your home with love and devotion to Allah. --By "ummtas" on August 11, 2000

I was so glad to find this book! It sets examples for maintaining a healthy and good marriage from an Islamic point of view. It discusses everything from having an emotional relationship a sexual relationship. The book focuses on both the roles of the husband and the wife and how to keep eachother happy. It is a great book for every Muslim couple! --By A Customer on December 13, 1999
