Before We Call It Love

Love, marriage and companionship can be among the most beautiful blessings Allah (s.w.t.) gives us in this world. But what happens when love meets the realities of life?

Mufti Ismail Menk takes us beyond the excitement of finding a partner and into the realities of love and married life. With warmth and honesty, Before We Call It Love explores how to choose a partner wisely, manage expectations, understand compatibility, communicate with one another and navigate the ups and downs of marriage.

At the heart of it all, halal love begins with Allah (s.w.t.). His guidance shapes the way we choose, love and build our relationships.

Through sincere effort, istikharah, duʿaʾ and trust in His wisdom, we learn that finding love is not the goal. The real goal is learning to love in a way that brings us closer to Allah (s.w.t.).
