This soon to be released publication (إن شاء الله) is the culmination of work spanning many years. I had hoped to release it two years ago for a local seminar. I revisited it and fleshed it out, by Allah’s permission, to its current version. It is a little over 300 pages, and was compiled from well over 100 scholarly writings. May Allah accept our small efforts and allow others to benefit as I did in researching & compiling it. Islam is beautiful and nobody is better at explaining that than the Ulemā. May Allah envelop them in his mercy.

Al Hamdulillah. The new book is available and live on Amazon:

The Five Pillars of a Happy Muslim Home is a comprehensive guide for those preparing for marriage, parents seeking suitable suitors for their children, and couples looking to strengthen their relationships. Drawing insights from early and contemporary scholars, this book offers an in-depth exploration of marital love and the importance of choosing a spouse for the right reasons. It thoroughly explains marriage in Islam and the key principles contributing to a happy and lasting union.

Marriage in Islam serves five core purposes: chastity, which fulfills natural desires lawfully; children, to raise righteous youth; companionship, to build a supportive and loving family; community, strengthening society through the marriage bond; and commitment, ensuring a lasting union through the right intentions.

The book is divided into three chapters:

Chapter 1: The Blessing of an Islamic Marriage
This chapter presents marriage as a sacred bond that requires dedication and effort. It emphasizes marriage's spiritual and social benefits and positions it as a prophetic tradition that provides numerous blessings.

Chapter 2: The Secret Behind Spousal Love
This chapter focuses on the foundation of love in marriage and explores the roles of faith, mutual respect, character, honesty, and conflict resolution in building lasting affection between spouses.

Chapter 3: Marrying for the Right Reasons
The final chapter highlights the significance of intention in marriage and aligns it with the five core objectives. It delves into the essential aspects of marriage, such as family responsibilities, financial support, and cooperation, offering a balanced approach to marital life.

The book concludes by addressing two questionable marriage practices: those entered with the intention of divorce and misyār marriage, offering thoughtful insights into their potential risks.

This book is a must-read for anyone seeking to build a happy, blessed Muslim home in alignment with Islamic values. Success is with Allah alone.
