Description
**Marriage is about more than just getting your needs fulfilled.**
What should a Muslim expect from marriage—and what should they prepare for before getting married?
In this lecture, Abu Mussab explains the rights and responsibilities of husbands and wives in Islaam, drawing attention to the Qur’aan, the Sunnah, and the example of the Prophet ﷺ.
Allaah describes spouses as garments for one another. Marriage should provide comfort, protection, security, and closeness—not merely fulfil physical desires.
Abu Mussab discusses the foundations of a successful marriage, including:
- Building the marriage upon taqwa and helping each other draw closer to Allaah
- Treating one another with good manners, kindness, and mercy
- Being truthful and avoiding oppression
- Overlooking minor faults rather than turning everything into an argument
- Helping one another in righteousness and fulfilling each other's rights
- Raising children upon Islaam and protecting the family's Deen
- Understanding the rights and responsibilities of both husband and wife
Marriage is a serious contract, and preparing for it means more than planning a wedding. It means preparing to fulfil the rights Allaah has placed upon you.
**The goal isn't simply to build a life together—it's to help one another reach Jannah.**
