The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH): The Best of all Husbands


Author: Dr. Ghazi al-Shammari

In marriage, it often happens that we come across a situation in which things seem to be going haywire, and we wonder what would have been the ideal stance and the best way to handle this problem. For Muslims, the best stance and the best way is that of the Prophet Muhammed (PBUH). Allah has taught that this is how we should seek to resolve our conflicts:


{If you differ in anything among yourselves, refer it to Allah and His Messenger if you do believe in Allah and the Last Day: that is best and most suitable for final determination.} (Qur'an 4:59)

Our prophet was a husband with eleven women, each of whom has revealed to us her personal impressions of some or the other aspect of his exemplary personality.

This book is a must-read for all married couples-and for any Muslim man or woman who is contemplating marriage-who wish to achieve satisfaction in their personal wives.
