Marriage plays an important role in our lives. It is a commemoration of the union of two strangers who will spend the rest of their remaining lives with one another. Marriage ought to transpire comfort and tranquillity whereby the couple share one another’s sorrow and happiness. In order to commemorate the lawfully wedded couple, the Islamic tradition and the practice of the Messenger of Allāh Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is to conduct a marriage feast, Walīmah. Islām teaches us that Nikāh should always be as simple as possible. The Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, “The most blessed marriage is that in where the least expenditure is made.” (Baihaqi)

It is strongly recommended that our brothers and sisters read and benefit from this book and try to implement it into our daily lives in order to once more revive the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam on such occasions and repel the prevalent sins and baseless customs.

Islām regards marriage as a great act of worship because it is a responsible affair and a means of preventing a person from many forms of sins i.e. fornication, casting of the gaze upon unlawful things etc. Islām has explained in great detail the concept of marriage and all that is affiliated to it.

Inspite of the fact that marriage is supposed to be a peaceful and a tranquil affair, today it has become a very questionable matter irrespective of one’s religion, ethnicity, gender and prosperity. It has now become a disturbing and worrying occasion. Marriage breakdown, domestic violence etc have unfortunately become endemic amongst the Muslim community. These are all occurring due to ignorance and negligence towards the Deen.

This book has been designed to provide the fundamental teachings and guidelines of all what relates to the marital life in a simplified English language. It encapsulates, in a nutshell, all the marriage laws mentioned in many of the main reference books in order to facilitate their understanding and implementation.

The sacred law of Islām is a complete and chaste system of life. The proper functioning of human race depends on the proper maintenance of marital relationship. Islām has focused attention on family issues most exhaustively.  By a careful analysis of the Holy Qurʾān, we notice that commercial contracts like sale, partnership, hiring and so on are though among the most important socio-economic matters, the Holy Qurʾān has restricted itself to setting down their basic principles, and the bye-laws are rarely ever touched upon. In matters of marriage and divorce, on the other hand, not only fundamental principles have been laid down, but their detailed laws have also been directly revealed by Allāh Subhanahu wa ta’ala and entrenched in the Holy Qurʾān.

These laws are scattered in various chapters. Sūrah Talāq, specifically deals with ‘divorce’, ‘the period of ʿiddah’ and so on. Thus, according to some narratives, this sūrah is also called Sūrah an-Nisāʾ as-Sughrā or the short Sūrah an-Nisāʾ (Qurtubī).
