AlKauthar Institute - A-Z of Love & Mercy, Jakarta

The quest to spend our life with a special someone is a journey every one of us aspires to embark on. It is precisely for this reason that the Sharīʿah has clarified to us so many of its principles and mannerisms, that we may lead a blessed, happy life with our true soul mate. Without this knowledge, marriage is devoid of the blessings of Islam. Similarly, to ensure that the Islamic brotherhood and sisterhood is preserved, the Sharīʿah has set down clear guidelines on the Prophetic etiquettes and rulings of divorce. Despite divorce being so rampant these days, most people hardly know anything about it.

In this course you will learn the fiqh of the entire marriage process. Some of the course highlights include:

Qualities to look for in a spouse

Manners of proposing to a prospective partner

The rulings of Islam pertaining to the marriage contract, its conditions and invalidators

Modern methods and types of marriage and their rulings in Islam

Clear understanding about the rulings of illegal marriage, zina. How to deal with it's children out of wedlock
