Shaykh Yaser Birjas offers an in-depth look at Islamic marital practices and rituals in this text. It starts with an exploration of love from an Islamic perspective and the essence of matrimony, moving on to cover the fiqh of marriage, which elaborates on the contractual specifics. The book wraps up with guidance for life after marriage.
Qur’an
Marriage with an unchaste person is prohibited in Islam. A Muslim man and woman should meet with each other and have two witnesses. This is to ensure the woman's modesty and to protect her rights. Islam also allows the man and woman to meet before marriage, and the man can have a guardian accompany them during the meeting. If both parties do not agree on the marriage, there is no marriage. Islam also prohibits secret marriages.
The Quran teaches us that marriage is a union of two people who must be equally committed. This is because spouses are like garments, and both must play their roles in the marriage. In addition to serving as coverings and protection, they must also provide protection for one another. If one partner lacks in a certain area, the other must fill the gap so that the other does not feel exposed to harm.
Another important factor for marriage is a person's character. The Quran forbids marrying a kafir, as such people reject essential guidance of Allah and are bound for hell. Similarly, a newly converted Muslim woman must not marry a kafir. Although wealth is a factor in marriage, the character of the potential spouse is far more important.
Marriage is a contract between two people and should be harmonious and balanced. Both partners should respect one another and treat each other honorably. Taking care of one another is a lifelong commitment, and the Qur'an teaches the importance of mutual support.
Hadiths
Hadiths are powerful stories about Islam, especially marriage. The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said that in order to build up love between two people, they must first look at each other. The Prophet's advice was followed by Mughirah bin Shubah, who later married his chosen woman. This story shows how well Mughirah and his wife got along.
This book is a valuable reference for Muslim couples. It uses Islamic sources to discuss the most pressing issues that arise in marriage and suggests practical solutions. Marriage is one of the pillars of the Muslim faith, fulfilling many basic needs of a person and society. The importance of a fulfilling relationship is undisputed.
The Prophets and the Messenger of Allah spoke of the importance of marriage as the path of new generations. Marriage is a castle of chastity for a man and a woman, a blessing from Allah, and an essential way to reach his love. The Quran and Hadith Literature is rich in material and spiritual examples of marriage.
Hadiths are a vital part of Islam's religious code. They tell us about the role of a Muslim in our lives and how to live peacefully in the world. They explain that marriage is an integral part of life and that a Muslim must be able to give and receive love in return. However, the Quran is not the only source of wisdom. There are many other sources that prove marriage can be a blessing.
In the Quran, Allah has forbidden a man to marry his own sister. The Prophet also warned against a man to marry his own daughter.
Nikah
The Book of Nikah is a comprehensive and easy-to-read guide to Muslim family matters. It is written by Yusuf Al-Hajj Ahmad. The book teaches readers about Islam's stance on marriage and family, as well as other issues that affect Muslim women.
Marriage is a central feature of Islam. It fulfills many basic needs and is the cornerstone of a Muslim's life. But the modern world is not friendly to marriage, and so the Muslim community has to protect it with rituals and practices. Islam's laws regarding marriage require both parties to respect and honor each other. This book explores the major problems that often arise in marriage, including social, emotional, and sexual issues, as well as practical solutions.
The book includes advice for both the husband and wife, based on the Qur'an and Sunnah. It includes advice on establishing a successful marriage, bringing up children, and maintaining the home. It also discusses the duties of a righteous wife. It also contains stories of exemplary women who were married according to Islam.
One book that is recommended is the Handbook of a Healthy Muslim Marriage by Mufti Abdur-Rahman Mangera. It contains ten chapters on marriage and gives practical solutions to common problems. The author quotes real life experiences to make the book personal and relatable. It is a great resource for Muslim couples who want to live a happy, healthy marriage.
In Islam, both parties must give their consent to enter into marriage. In addition, the bride should have a guardian to protect her rights and maintain her modesty. In addition, the woman must meet the man before entering the wedding ceremony. The male guardian is responsible for accompanying the woman during the meeting.
Divorce
The book contains some excellent advice on divorce and marriage. The author emphasizes the importance of keeping the faith and not getting back together after a divorce. It is essential to avoid divorce as it can result in a loss of morality and women losing their dignity. In addition, the book offers guidance on the etiquette of divorce.
In addition to focusing on the importance of marriage, the book outlines some of the benefits of marriage. It cites scientific evidence to support the importance of maintaining a stable union. In addition, the book offers practical suggestions for young Muslim couples. It is recommended that all couples should read it to help them decide whether marriage is right for them.
Divorce is one of the most displeasing acts in Islam. However, the process is set up in such a way that it is still possible for the parties to reconcile. Typically, divorce must be pronounced three times, at least a month apart. During this time, the wife remains in the house. It is also important to note that the husband is responsible for his children until they reach the age of majority. In addition, he is responsible for his wife for a period of time after the divorce.
While we generally think of divorce as a modern phenomenon, Islamic societies were also plagued by divorce. In the first century of Islam, for example, divorce rates were extremely high. In Islam, the legal status of Muslim women is often attributed to their economic dependence on men. Furthermore, strict separation of property made divorce a common practice.
Polygamy
This book is written by two feminist Muslim scholars, Amina Wadud and Asma Barlas. They both point out that polygamy in Islam is not wrong and that it is justified. They point to the Qur'an for its support of polygyny, citing three reasons for it. They also point to the societal practices that allow polygamy.
The Prophet of Islam approved polygyny because it has many benefits for man and woman. For example, polygamy was common among Ancient societies like the Egyptians and the Chinese, and even the Athenians. Islam also endorses it as long as it is done in accordance with Islamic rules. It has many benefits for both the individual and the society, and it is a sign of the Prophet's prophethood.
While polygamy is often a subject of debate for modernist Muslim scholars, it is a fact that many Muslims practice multiple wives. The negative propaganda has affected some contemporary Muslim scholars, and some have even reinterpreted the Qur'an to promote monogamy. This book is written by two reverts to Islam with western backgrounds.
Men should be careful to not limit themselves to just one wife. If they do, they would leave many women without partners. It is also important to be fair to both wives. Polygamy is acceptable for some men who want to see their offspring prosper. These men must also make sure that they provide for their wives' dowry and basic needs.
Islam acknowledges the value of women and their role in society. The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, married eleven women. Of them, nine lived longer than him. However, the tribe of Quraysh was his greatest enemy, and they fabricated many stories to demonize him.
