Description
Marriage, foundation of Islamic society
Marriage is a sacred institution, a spiritual and social bond desired by Allah to ensure the stability of the community. It is based on mercy, love, and tranquility, as mentioned in the verse:
"And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquillity in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy." (Surah Ar-Rum, verse 21)
But when marital tensions become difficult to overcome, divorce - although permissible - becomes a serious issue with profound consequences. This reality is clearly explained by Cheikh Muhammad Sa’îd Raslân in his book The Harms of Divorce.
A clear analysis of the effects of divorce
In this work, Sheikh Raslân discusses:

-

The central role of women in maintaining household stability

The responsibility of the Muslim man as the pillar of the family
He demonstrates that the breakdown of a couple is not a trivial matter, but a process that must be guided by religion, wisdom, and a sincere desire to preserve the unity of the household.
