A Practical Guide to Marriage, Family, and Children in Islam: Rights, Duties, and Practical Guidance for Muslim Spouses, Parents, and Families (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798195842390)

A clear and practical Islamic guide for Muslim spouses, parents, and families.

Marriage, family life, and raising children are not merely private matters in Islam. They are responsibilities before Allah, fields of rights and duties, and daily tests of character, mercy, justice, and self-control.

This book explains the Islamic understanding of marriage, family, and children in clear English. It brings together Qur'an, Sunnah, classical Islamic ethics of rights and adab, recognized fiqh themes, and cross-school fatwa orientation. The aim is not only to explain principles, but to help Muslim families live them in the home.

The book addresses practical questions such as:

• How should a husband treat his wife and children responsibly?
• What are the rights and duties of a wife toward her husband and children?
• What rights do children have, and what duties do they gradually learn toward father and mother?
• Where are the limits of parental authority?
• How can children be protected from humiliation, harshness, and emotional harm?
• How should families deal with marital conflict, in-laws, media, youth questions, and overload?

The guide includes a detailed section on rights and duties in family life, practical weekly tasks, self-examination questions, and a practice appendix with ten everyday family situations. Each situation shows what often goes wrong, how to act better, and what sentence can be said in the moment.

Main topics include:

• the Islamic vision of family
• marriage as tranquility, love, mercy, and responsibility
• rights and duties of husband, wife, children, parents, and relatives
• limits of authority, obedience, and parental power
• raising children in early childhood, school years, and youth
• Muslim families in a Western context
• marital conflict, mediation, divorce, and child protection
• practical guidelines for spouses and parents
• ten everyday family situations with wrong/right examples
• self-examination before Allah and weekly practical tasks

This book is written for Muslim spouses, parents, young adults, family counselors, Islamic educators, and anyone who wants to understand marriage and upbringing in Islam not only as theory, but as daily responsibility.

This book does not replace a personal fatwa, professional counseling, or legal help in serious cases. It offers general Islamic orientation across the schools of law.
