The Quest for Love & Mercy (Marriage & Wedding in Islam)

An Essential Guide to Nikah, Love, and Sunnah-Based Marital Life

Marriage in Islam is far more than a social contract—it is a sacred bond rooted in love, mercy, tranquillity, and obedience to Allah. The Quest for Love & Mercy (Marriage & Wedding in Islam) is a powerful, insightful, and much-needed work that revives the authentic Islamic understanding of marriage, firmly grounded in the Qur’an and Sunnah, while addressing the real challenges faced by Muslims in the modern world.

This book is the first title in a carefully structured three-book series that explores marriage from its foundations to its lived realities. Drawing upon the writings of classical scholars and the guidance of contemporary Islamic thought, it bridges a long-standing gap in English-language Islamic literature—one that speaks directly to Muslims living in Western and English-speaking societies.

Why This Book Is Essential

While many existing works on Islamic marriage were authored for audiences in predominantly Muslim lands, this book courageously confronts modern societal pressures, cultural confusion, delayed marriages, extravagant weddings, and misconceptions surrounding Nikah. It offers clear, practical, and Sunnah-based guidance that is both spiritually uplifting and deeply relevant.
