The Quest for Love & Mercy: Regulations for Wedding & Marriage in Islam by Muhammad Mustafa al-Jibaly
5.0
In today's world where zina(fornication) is widespread and marriage is pushed far away or written off (to avoid responsibility), this book is a light for Muslims who want to learn about the permissible things Allah has prescribed for us and stay away from the impermissible acts. It not only is a guide for Marriage but it highlights several things that make a Marriage blessed. It lists the steps from the proposal stage to the consummation stage.
The author has done well to use Quranic verses and hadiths (the prophetic teachings & ways of the prophet PBUH) to back up his statements and solidify his points. The book sheds light on the importance of selecting a good spouse, because this marks the beginning of a new Muslim family. Every rule and regulation in this book will guide an amateur and help an expert who both want to get married or make a proposal.
Every Chapter explicitly speaks on its title. There are about 8 Chapters in the book with titles:
1.) A Blessed Bond
2.) Spouse Selection
3.) Courting
4.)The Marriage Contract
5.)Celebrating the Marriage
6.)The Walimah
7.)Consummating The Marriage
8.)Forbidden Marriages.
It also has references and appendix.
There's an example of what a Marriage Certificate should look like.
For every Muslim Man or Woman who is considering marriage, or wants to learn about it based on curiousity as to what is halal according to Islamic Courting, Marriages and would like to forbid Haram and what people follow of their desires, I highly recommend this book.
