Al-Ghazzali's book on Marriage...Etiquette of marriage

[Dhagax-Tuur]

This is a wonderful piece of work from the great muslim philosopher, and I can not stress enough for the young (unmarried)and old (married) to read. Apologies for my choice of words.

 

It is an eye-opener. Just read, you will love it. Marriage is viewed from every angle.

 

 

Book on etiquette of marriage

 

N.B. It is in PDF format.

 

Allah Hafiz.

[Dhagax-Tuur]

Let me give you a taste of what the book entails....Just a mere taste (I can not do justice to the contents of the book at all)

 

Talking about the disadvantages of Marriage, this is how the book describes the man who can uphold his wife's rights; the characteristics of the man:

 

"A man possessing good character and insight into the ways of women, is tolerant of their tongues, is not driven by their desires, is careful to fulfil his obligations towards them, can overlook their mistakes, and is cognizant of their manners"

 

Please read the book it is a good guide. One of the best there is. Many of yo out there are in their marriage age and are willing to marry, so have a guide. Just like you would want to have, if you were to visit a foreign city! It is only 62 pages, but once you get started, you won't quit in the first few pages, i promise you.

Jazakallah Aniga,

 

I'm in the middle of reading The Alchemy of Happiness by Al-Ghazzali and there's a chapter called : Marriage as a help or hinderance to the religious life. I thought the points he raised were interesting.

 

I find his works are facinating, may Allah have mercy on his soul. You're right, once you start you can't stop. Thnks again.

[Blessed]

Jizak Allah walaalo, both of you!

 

I'm always on the look out for the work of the Great Ghazzali (raxumuhllah).

 

So if anyone has anoy more links.. please post up!

 

This should be my holiday reading. insha Allah.
