The Art of Marriage - A Weekend Seminar on the A-Z of Marriage

Marriage - it's half of our deen completed. So what does this mean? Why is this topic so important for all Muslims?

Study the principles upon which valid marriage is based and understand the distribution of rights within the marital relationship between husband and wife. Also learn about the elements which can break a marriage and about the various stages of divorce and the correct method of affecting it should it unfortunately become necessary. This course is essential for young people planning to marry and those who have already married. It is surprising how much more we can learn about matters that we might think are common sense or cultural. Islam has given very specific guidance to the married couple so that they can have a fulfilling life; where it does not work out, marriage can be ended correctly, and thus social integrity is maintained in and out of marriage.

This course will not only cover the whole chapter of marriage and divorce as discussed by the ulama over the centuries but also in a very contemporary context covering many issues and questions that need addressing in the modern day. Whether you're married already -- happy or otherwise, planning to get married, have children of marriageable age, then this course is for you! All within an Islamic framework.
