Li Taskunū Ilayhā (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781837098620)

Li Taskunū Ilayhā - Book Description

The Qur'an does not present marriage as merely a relationship between two people. It

describes it as an āyah - a sign of Allah - and as a solemn covenant, carrying meaning,

responsibility and purpose.

At its heart is a beautiful Qur'anic vision:

"that you may dwell in tranquillity with them."

Qur'an 30:21

Li Taskunū Ilayhā explores what it means to build a marriage in which two people can

genuinely become a source of sukūn - tranquillity - for one another.

Drawing primarily from the Qur'an and Sunnah, alongside reflections on contemporary

family life, Abdiaziz Arab approaches marriage not simply as romance, companionship or the

formation of a household, but as a sacred responsibility through which affection, mercy,

character and spiritual growth are cultivated.

The book asks readers to look beyond the search for the "right person" and consider an

equally important question:

Am I becoming the right person?

It explores the realities that shape married life: choosing a spouse with sound judgement,

understanding compatibility, managing expectations, communication and conflict, emotional

maturity, finances, family and in-laws, forgiveness, appreciation, parenthood, purpose and

personal mission.

It also challenges some of the assumptions that surround marriage today. Feelings matter, but

should they always lead? Is being honest enough, or does marriage require transparency? Is

being nice the same as being kind? Can a healthy home survive without learning the art of

forgiveness and appreciation?

Rather than offering a formula for a perfect marriage, Li Taskunū Ilayhā invites the reader to

think more deeply about the kind of person, spouse and home they are trying to build.

Because marriage is not the meeting of two perfect people.

It is two imperfect human beings entering a solemn covenant and learning, through

mawaddah, raḥmah and sukūn - affection, mercy and tranquillity - how to share a life

with purpose.

Written for marriage seekers, married couples, parents preparing their sons and daughters for

marriage, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Qur'anic vision of family life, Li

Taskunū Ilayhā is an invitation to reflect, prepare and build with greater intention.
