“Another of His signs is that He created spouses from among yourselves for you to live with in tranquility: He ordained love and kindness between you. There truly are signs in this for those who reflect” (Rum 21).

Marriage is arguably the most crucial step a person will take in his or her life. However, we find that we exert most of our efforts to ensure that trivial things like the wedding hall, food, or
invitations will be perfect, while neglecting issues of far greater priority.

Please join us for our November monthly seminar on the topic of marriage, delivered by the renowned scholar Sh. Muhammad Ibn Adam al-Kawthari, who will explore the legal, ethical, and spiritual
dimensions of marriage.

The following topics will be explored:
Before marriage:
► What qualities to look for in a prospective spouse.
► How to go about searching for a spouse.
► Rules of interaction during engagement.
► Assisting your children in the process.
► Are forced marriages permissible? What about arranged marriages?

The wedding:
► Integrals of marriage.
► Recommended actions of marriage.
► How a nikah is conducted.
► What is the role of the wali?
► How to ensure your walima is sunna-compliant.

During marriage:
► Rules of interaction with one’s in-laws.
► Fiqh of sexual relations.
► Resolving marital disputes and conflicts.
► Providing children with an Islamic upbringing.
