Book Description

May 8, 1998
A much needed manual, this marvelous book that draws from Islamic sources to provide practical advice for a Muslim couple. Far from the sociological analysis or list of rules that fill other books about Islamic marriage, this book draws from the wisdom of the Sunnah to show how to love your partner in this life and prepare each other for the next. Written with plenty of real life experience (and even humor) from Muslims living in the West, the author balances the issues of male-female differences, respect for each others rights and needs and raising God-conscious children. A must read for anyone interested in marriage.

Modern life brings strains and pressures which can upset even the most compatible relationship. This means that nowadays, to protect the spirit of cooperation and happiness which is the sign of the true Islamic marriage, careful thought needs to be given to the mechanisms which help husband and wife to live together and respect each others rights.

This highly readable book takes the reader through the relevant passages in the Quran and Hadith (Islamic sources), and goes on to discuss the main social and economic problems that can afflict relationships, suggesting many practical ways in which these can be resolved.

5.0 out of 5 stars Look for the UnCensored-THIS IS A HOW TO!, August 11, 2000
This review is from: The Muslim Marriage Guide (Censored Edition) (Paperback)
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.

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR??????Look for the UNCENSORED PLEASE!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Title is Misleading, May 23, 2000
By 
C. King Khidr (Damascus, Syria) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Muslim Marriage Guide (Censored Edition) (Paperback)
The book should have been called _The Art of Islamic Lovemaking_! (since that is what most of it is about). Its unfortunate that the publishers came out with a "censored" version. It just goes to show how prudish many modern Muslims have become. Classical Islamic scholars examined the subject of sexuality quite thoroughly, and even wrote extensive treatises on it. They had lovemaking down to a science, and explored its legal, biological, emotional, psychological, cosmological, metaphyical, theological, and mystical dimensions. If you think I'm exaggerating, check the sources out for yourself. Such prominent figures as Imam Abu Hanifa, Suyuti, Rumi, Ghazali, Ibn al-Qayyim, and Ibn al-'Arabi probed into the various aspects of this timeless "art".

Kudos to Ms.Maqsood for reviving a dying science!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read for Every Muslim, January 9, 2000
This review is from: The Muslim Marriage Guide (Censored Edition) (Paperback)
An excellent and very well written book that will have you reading it more then once. Sound and pratical advice for keeping the Muslim Marriage together. I recommend this book for every Muslim who is considering marriage soon or who is already married.
