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!

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.
