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.
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!
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!
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.
After researching a while for a book to gift couple preparing for their marriage. I settled for this. And my clients love the book. I'm going to order more soon. Giving it four star because I haven't actually read it. I hope to read a copy soon.
Overall the book is an excellent read with great advice for married couples. A few points that aren't obvious form the title:1. The book is primarily meant for a male audience. There is comparatively very little advice for women. For example the book has a section on "The good husband" but nothing on "The good wife".2. The author is very courageous in addressing topics which are rarely discussed in Muslim marriage guides. I would say almost 50% of the book is devoted to love making and sex.
Good information in this book especially the first 5 chapters and there is even some history of the prophet's pbuh wives. However, you can tell quite early that the book is written from a female's perspective and the writer did not give justice to both genders. For example, there is a chapter called 'the good husband' which discusses the man's roles and responsibilities but there is nothing in the book that talks about the woman's role or duty to her husband or to the marriage in that case. Maybe the writer was rushed and forgot to include this but the book clearly is clearly intended for women rather than men. The writer even goes on to explain how women feel and act but it also felt that is was more western than 'Islamic' as the book is called. Good effort overall but could the writer have done better on execution on the idea.
