I propose that male-female dialogue is even more
essential to a nation’s success than that of inter-faith
discourse. I also propose that the chauvinist accord in
Islamic jurisprudence essentially caused the decline of
Islam because without the equal treatment of feminine wisdom
and intuition in the affairs of marriage and community, civic unity imbued
with the grace of true piety cannot be maintained well enough to establish
the regency of truth and justice.... Stereotypes need to be abandoned and replaced by the reality orientation
of scientific knowledge in conjunction with Fiqh Jurisprudence of the
highest caliber.... As heterosexuals comprise the overwhelming majority (90%) of human’s
committing sexual immorality, there is little merit in an extremist
perspective being adopted towards deviant sexuality during any review of
public policies related to the conundrum of deviant sexual orientations.... The Basic Needs and Responsibilities of the Virtuous Spouse are seven in
number... but how does one qualify for the blessings of that holy moment
when the covenant is consummated... and what is the authentic nature of
the covenant of marriage?One cannot truly be a Muslim until he/she desires for their neighbor what
they desire for themselves ― and in marriage, your spouse is your nearest
neighbor.Marriage has become a kind of 'trench warfare' with spouses dug-in on either
side of the gender-line. In-between lies ignorance of the “other” as a kind of
no-man's land where insults are traded and frequent devastating assaults are
launched. What has happened to the estate of marriage that it has become
such a cause of despair for so many these days? If marriage is half the deen of
Islam’s revealed requirements and instructions for salvation – i.e., if it is the
venue in which Muslims are commanded to implement the comprehensive
system of religion as perfected by the prophet – then marriage is a holy
institution and should be treated as such. Why then is it profaned by so
many? Within this little book are the answers(^)
