Description from the
Islam gives importance to every affair of life. Thus, there is not an aspect of your life-O Muslim-except that Islam clarifies and explains it. And this is from its concern for rectifying and unifying the community. And because the rectification of the community follows the rectification of the family, and the unity of the community is a result of the unity of the family, and the happiness of the family is connected to the spouses, Islam gives a great deal of importance to the spouses.
As it relates to the rights of the spouses-O brothers, O beloved-there are rights before the engagement, rights at the time of the engagement, rights at the time of the marriage contract, and rights which remain throughout the affair of marriage

A good one.
“The happiness for man is found in three, and the misery of man is found in three. From the happiness of man is a righteous wife, and good riding beast, and a spacious home. From the misery of man is an evil home, an evil wife, and an evil riding beast.”
Concise & well-elaborated. But i am still looking for something that is precise and deals with modern problems as well… Like some rulings based on principles, instead of just principles.
There were 2 points which were explained relatively well, compared to what ive read on these topics/points. All the books on these topics lack case studies and examples and rulings on them thereforth, not explaining the relevance, benefits & repercussions in todays time.
— - —————- - - —x- - ——
The 2 points are as following:
EXPLAINING JEALOUSY.
“From the rights of the wife upon the husband is that he should have jealousy for her. She should see from her husband's jealousy for her, but it is a rational jealousy. It brings good and repels evil.
He is jealous of his wife lest she reveal something of her body. He is jealous of his wife lest she turn her glance towards unrelated men, and mixes with unrelated men, and speaks with unrelated men without a necessity.
As for the jealousy which equates to doubt and tracking her without any cause for doubt, this is jealousy which is haram.
The Prophet said:
“There is protective jealousy that Allah loves and there is protective jealousy which Allah hates. The protective jealousy that Allah loves is protective jealousy where there is cause for doubt, and the protective jealousy that Allah hates is protective jealousy when there is no cause for suspicion.”
EXPLAINING BOYCOTT, DISCIPLINE.
From the rights of the wife upon her husband is he should not insult her, and he should not abuse her, and he should not revile her appearance, or her actions. The Prophet said concerning the rights of the woman upon her husband:
Let him not disgrace her.
From the rights of the wife upon her husband is he should not boycott her unless there arrives a reason for him to boycott her as a means of discipline. And if there is an allowable reason for the man to boycott his wife then he should not abandon the home; rather, he should only boycott her in her home.

What an absolutely amazing book! allahumma barik to the Author. This is in the top place of 'marriage' books only after The Quest for Love & Mercy: Regulations for Wedding & Marriage in Islam by Muhammad Mustafa al-Jibaly, only because The quest for love and mercy has a lot about 'Why' someone should get married, so that's something definitely to know before reading about rights.
This is actually a transcription of a kuhtbah, and the tone is just wonderful. It contains the rights, evidences for them and explanations in a beautifully concise way. In a way that makes sense and in ways that would put modern ideologies to dust.
10/10 must read!
