Marriage holds a position of perpetual significance because of the central role it plays in human life. It is not surprising, therefore, that the scholars of Islam have discussed it extensively through the ages. Under the contemporary
influence of non-Islamic cultures, however, misconceptions have crept into various areas of Islam - spilling into marriage, divorce, and other family-related matters.
Viewing the needs of the Muslims who live in non-Islamic environments, and realizing that most Islamic writings on marriage are restricted in scope, we find quite a large gap that needs to be filled for the benefit of the English-speaking Muslims - which is what we attempt to accomplish over the span of this 3-book set that covers various aspects of marriage according to the authentic Sunnah:
وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَكُ مودة ورحمة
The Quest for Love & Mercy Regulations for Marriage & Wedding in Islām
Discusses the importance and advantages of marriage, selecting a spouse, the courting process, the marriage contract, celebrating the wedding, the walimah, and forbidden marriages. It provides a practical procedure for performing the marriage contract, and includes a sample marriage certificate.
هُنَّ لِبَاسٌ لَّكُمْ وَأَنتُمْ لِبَاسٌ لَّن
Closer than a Garment
Marital Intimacy According to the Pure Sunnah

CHAPTER 1
A FAIR PARTNERSHIP
Introduction
AN ESSENTIAL BOND
Marriage is a bond held together by mutual rights and responsibilities for each of the two spouses. It is a partnership between them, and they are both required to play an active role in that partnership.
The man is appointed as the leader of the household, and the woman as the supportive helper whose expertise in many areas cannot be handled by the man. Some of the women who have been corrupted by the Western ideologies want to be leaders of the family. But only chaos would reult in such a family where the correct and natural positions are reversed.
Both the husband and wife have certain rights and duties. A happy and successful marriage is assured if both of them fulfill their duties and preserve each others' rights. Violating those rights is a sure way to misery and failure.
SHARED OBLIGATIONS AND SHARED REWARDS
Some responsibilities and obligations equally apply to the man and woman. For instance, the obligation of believing in Allah () and following His commands is identical for both of them. Similarly, they are both responsible and accountable for their actions. They are both equally required to learn the correct religion, worship Allah, and call to His way. The moral standards are the same for both of them, as are many of the regulations for dealing with other human beings.
The man and woman get similar rewards for obedience to Allāh 15 and similar punishment for disobedience or sinning. Allah () says:
