I have recently been listening to a set of CD’s
called Love and Marriage delivered by Shaykh Muhammad al Yaqoubi, Shaykh
Muhammad al Yaqoubi is a world renowned scholar he is from a family of scholars
that descent from the family of prophet Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and
blessings be upon him), the shaykh’s knowledge has inspired and transformed the
lives of many a people including myself, he is from Damascus Syria and if you
are ever lucky enough to attend one of the gatherings that he is talking at you
will be amazed by his presence, he has such a beautiful way of explaining the
most complex of topics to you, and he has a level of eloquence that makes you
want to listen to him for hours.
Scared Knowledge is the UK based initiative, run
under the guidance of Shaykh Muhammad al Yaqoubi, that organises events and
produces and distributes all there material, they don’t always release all the
talks though I wish they would as I have missed many. The organisation is
completely independent and non-profit making and is run on donations.
Getting back to the CD, it’s a beautifully
presented boxset of 5 CDs, I personally found then brilliant and very thought
provoking, I have taken some information from the Scared Knowledge website,
In this box set Shaykh
Muhammad explains the concept of 'love' and discusses the meaning of mawaddah
as mentioned in the Noble Quran, with respect to the relationship between a
husband and wife, in addition 'true love’ and ‘love at first’ sight from the Islamic
perspective are discussed and valuable advice for those seeking to get married,
spousal obligations and responsibilities and marital conflicts.
Overall i think this was a valuable insight in to
the topic, Infact i think that it would be a perfect gift for a newly married
couple.
