Position of Women in Islam

Description

True to his style Maulana Thanvi omits nothing of relevance from this book, “The Islamic Marriage”. He has pointed out very lucidly the utter needlessness of fvil customs associated with marriage. They are alien to Islam. He has spoken at length on the issued of dowry, dower, bari, nawtah, walimah, suitable match, ripe time of marriage, having more than one wife, etiquettes to be observed by wife and husband, the qualities of an ideal wife and an ideal husband. Here, and there, he has cited Hadith of the Prophet (SAW) and examples from contemporary life. Interspersed in the text are also rulings on the question anyone can come across in marriage and undertaking marriage. The Key word throughout the book is simplicity in contracting marriage and Sayyidah Fatimah’s (RA) example is cited to support it. This book is worth reading and abiding by. Let no home be without it.
