This is a 4-book set of The Muslim Family Series, covering various aspects of marriage according to the authentic Sunnah. Marriage plays a central role in human life and has been widely discussed by scholars of Islam throughout the ages. Some of those writings, mostly by contemporary scholars, have been translated into English — but we find them restricted in scope, addressing Muslims who live in predominantly Islamic countries, or overlooking real issues that have developed under modern civilization. This series was written to fill that gap for Muslims in English-speaking countries.
