All praise is due to Allah Ta'ala alone who created man and women, and, by the institution of marriage, creates a loving and merciful bond between two complete strangers. Salât and salaam upon our beloved master, Rasulullâh [PBUH], who taught us and guided us in marital matters and who serves as a wonderful role-model for us until the Day of Judgement, as well as the sahâbah, tâbi'în, and those who follow their path. Âmîn.
This booklet on the sunnah method of marriage, since many incorrect ideologies have entered into our marriages. Today millions are wasted in marriage ceremonies, whereas this money could be fruitfully used in so many other noble endeavours. Sins are committed wholesale at such functions, and all vestiges of shame and modesty are thrown aside. Evil is committed in the name of Islam. We lay our complaint to none else but Allâh Ta'ala.
