The Islamic Marriage Model: An Islamic Guide for Muslim Couples by Kamran A. Beg

The Islamic Marriage Model: An Islamic Guide for Muslim Couples, published in 2009, is Kamran A. Beg’s second book and is specifically concerned with providing Islamic guidance to Muslim couples in accordance with the Quran and the Sunnah on the basis of the Islamic Marriage Model developed by Kamran A. Beg Events so that Muslim couples can safeguard, protect, honour and preserve the sanctity of their marriage bond by striving in the way of creating an ideal Muslim family driven by righteousness in subservience to Allah (SWT) and therefore complete half of their faith on the basis of the marriage tie.

This book follows Kamran A. Beg’s outstandingly successful first book, The 3-Dialogue Rule: One Hundred Muslim Marriages in One Thousand Days, published in 2006, which has now been read in over one hundred countries worldwide. For more information about Kamran’s first book kindly CLICK HERE.

The Islamic Marriage Model stresses the fundamental need for each of the six sets of rights - the wife’s rights, the husband’s rights, the mutual rights shared by the couple, the children’s rights over their parents, the parents’ rights over their children and the Muslim Ummah’s rights over the family - arising from the marriage bond to be satiated in full in accordance with the Quran and the Sunnah if a Muslim couple are to strive in earnest with a view to achieving the vision of generating an ideal Muslim family premised on constant righteousness in the cause of Allah (SWT). The Islamic Marriage Model also arms the Muslim couple with a robust conflict resolution strategy developed by Kamran A. Beg Events so that the couple can ensure that any marital problems or conflicts that come their way are resolved quickly so that each of these six sets of rights can be satiated in full in accordance with the Quran and the Sunnah.

We will now unravel the workings of the Islamic Marriage Model. Let the journey begin!

Hitherto Kamran A. Beg Events has provided marriage guidance worldwide to 500 Muslim professional couples. This marriage guidance has been provided on the basis of couples applying the Islamic Marriage Model developed by Kamran A. Beg Events.

While my first book, The 3-Dialogue Rule: One Hundred Muslim Marriages in One Thousand Days, published in 2006, is concerned with advising Muslim singletons and their families on how to calibrate a potential match’s suitability for marriage through applying the 3-Dialogue Rule and establishing the degree of family value consensus between the two families (see chapter 1), this book, The Islamic Marriage Model: An Islamic Guide for Muslim Couples, published in 2009, on the other hand, is specifically concerned with providing Islamic guidance to Muslim couples in accordance with the Quran and the Sunnah on the basis of the Islamic Marriage Model so that they can safeguard, protect, honour and preserve the sanctity of their marriage bond by striving in the way of creating an ideal Muslim family driven by righteousness in subservience to Allah (SWT).

The Islamic Marriage Model is a robust halal marriage framework developed by Kamran A. Beg Events based solely on the principles of the Quran and the Sunnah that all Muslim couples should endeavour to apply with conviction and determination in order to aspire to accomplishing the vision of generating an ideal Muslim family unit whose central plank is constant righteousness in the cause of Allah (SWT) where each of the members of that family union – husband, wife and their children – always strive to be righteous in the way of Allah (SWT). For a Muslim to be righteous in the way of Allah (SWT) they must act in accordance with the Quran and the Sunnah.

The Islamic Marriage Model, if adhered to with unfailing fidelity and loyalty, will allow a Muslim couple to master half of their faith through their marriage tie on the basis of cultivating an ideal family centred on righteousness in subservience to Allah (SWT) and so allow them to successfully negotiate the overarching question defining the value and merit of their marriage in the estimation of Allah (SWT), namely:

“Are we as a Muslim couple actually completing half of our faith on the basis of how we are acquitting ourselves in relation to our marriage?”

The Islamic Marriage Model defines and details the six sets of rights - the wife’s rights, the husband’s rights, the mutual rights shared by the couple, the children’s rights over their parents, the parents’ rights over their children and the Muslim Ummah’s rights over the family - arising as a result of the marriage bond presenting each of these six sets of rights in deference to and on the basis of the Quran and the Sunnah only.

The Islamic Marriage Model stresses the fundamental need for each of the six sets of rights - the wife’s rights, the husband’s rights, the mutual rights shared by the couple, the children’s rights over their parents, the parents’ rights over their children and the Muslim Ummah’s rights over the family - to be satiated or satisfied in full in accordance with the guidance stemming from the Quran and the Sunnah if a Muslim couple are to strive in earnest with a view to achieving the vision of generating an ideal Muslim family premised on constant righteousness in the cause of Allah (SWT). For a Muslim to be righteous in the way of Allah (SWT) they must act in accordance with the Quran and the Sunnah.

It should be noted that every set of rights attributable to one stakeholder (husband, wife, parents, children, Muslim Ummah) resulting as a specific consequence of the marriage generates a concomitant set of duties incumbent on a corresponding stakeholder in order to guarantee that those specific rights are met in full. Thus it is the husband’s duty to ensure that the wife’s rights are met; the wife’s duty to ensure that that the husband’s rights are met; the couple’s mutual duty to ensure that their mutual rights are met; the parents’ duty to ensure that their children’s rights are met; the children’s duty to ensure that their parents’ rights are met; and the family’s duty to ensure that the Muslim Ummah’s rights are met.

If a Muslim couple achieve this prodigious and sublime vision, namely producing an ideal Muslim family inspired by righteousness in Allah’s (SWT) way, then they can justifiably claim to have mastered half of their faith on the basis of marriage, though the final judgement would reside with Allah (SWT) in the Hereafter.

In the Islamic Marriage Model nurturing an ideal Muslim family fuelled by righteousness in Allah’s (SWT) cause is equivalent to the Muslim husband and his wife completing half of their faith on the basis of the marriage tie. The Muslim couple would then have successfully negotiated the overarching question defining the value and merit of their marriage in the estimation of Allah (SWT), namely:

“Are we as a Muslim couple actually completing half of our faith on the basis of how we are acquitting ourselves in relation to our marriage?”

Moreover, this pivotal question is phrased in such a way as to constantly remind the couple that they must continuously do everything that is possible both individually and collectively to ensure that they are satiating half of their faith on an ongoing basis and that there can be no let-up in this regard! It is clear from the way in which the question has been presented that completing half of one’s faith through the sacrosanct institution of marriage is a full-time pre-occupation that requires boundless attentiveness and unbridled dedication!

The Islamic Marriage Model provides Muslim couples with a structure against which to continuously audit their marriage by allowing them to evaluate and assess their marriage on a continuous basis in light of the extent to which each of the six sets of rights stemming from the marriage is being satiated in full in accordance with the Quran and the Sunnah. Whether the marriage is sailing blissfully along with consummate grace or experiencing the most onerous and at times exasperating difficulty the couple needs to ensure that the six sets of rights are being met in full in accordance with the Quran and the Sunnah for the fulfilment of these sets of rights in full in accordance with the Quran and the Sunnah will determine whether the couple will complete half of their faith through the marriage in the estimation of Allah (SWT).

No marriage can claim to be perfect! The Islamic Marriage Model accepts that. Marriages experience times of ease and also times of difficulty. Both need to be audited against the Islamic Marriage Model to make sure that the couple is doing all it can to complete half of its faith. Muslim couples need to accept that perfect harmony between the husband and the wife will not always be the status quo and that every marriage will experience some hardship. A tiff or contretemps, however, should not signal the end of a marriage. Rather problems need to be seen for what they really are in terms of the set or sets of rights that they are infringing. This then germinates a more collective approach on the part of the couple as they seek to negotiate the problem in view of endeavouring to complete half of their faith by making sure that corrective behaviours are applied in order to allow each of the six sets of rights underpinning the Islamic Marriage Model to be delivered in full in accordance with the Quran and the Sunnah.

The Islamic Marriage Model serves as a powerful diagnostic tool or early warning radar where marital problems can be more readily discerned in view of the specific set or sets of rights not being executed fully in accordance with the Quran and the Sunnah. This allows relevant solutions to be ascertained more quickly and implemented more immediately.

Conflict resolution is possible provided the couple support a genuine desire for reconciliation:

“If they both want to set things right, Allah will bring about reconciliation between them. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware” (Quran 4:35).

The Islamic Marriage Model arms the couple with a robust conflict resolution strategy (see chapter 1 and chapter 8) developed by Kamran A. Beg Events so that the couple can ensure that any marital problems or conflicts that come their way are resolved quickly so that each of these six sets of rights can be satiated in full in accordance with the Quran and the Sunnah.

Thus when a couple adopt a conflict resolution strategy based on the Islamic Marriage Model then irrespective of the mode of conflict resolution available to the couple, namely internal conflict resolution or family mediation or non-family mediation (see chapter 1 and chapter 8), the husband and the wife in seeking to resolve their differences through the appropriate corrective actions always remain alert to the realisation that six sets of rights need to be satiated in full in accordance with the guidance stemming from the Quran and the Sunnah if the couple are to strive in earnest with a view to achieving the vision of generating an ideal Muslim family premised on constant righteousness in the cause of Allah (SWT) and therefore complete half of their faith on the basis of the marriage tie.

Adhering to the Islamic Marriage Model allows internal conflict resolution to surface as the overwhelmingly primary approach to successful conflict resolution between a husband and a wife (see chapter 1 and chapter 8).

The Islamic Marriage Model stresses that marriages need to be reviewed and appraised continuously on the basis of Mohasabah and necessary corrective measures need to be implemented effectively through the process of Mojahadah so fine tuning the marriage on an ongoing basis. Mohasabah and Mojahadah in combination effectively represent a couple’s conflict resolution strategy and must underpin every mode of conflict resolution available to a couple, namely internal conflict resolution, family mediation and non-family mediation (see chapter 1 and chapter 8)!

This is essential if the six sets of rights underpinning the Islamic Marriage Model are to be delivered in full in keeping with the Quran and the Sunnah, so enabling the vision of an ideal Muslim family based on continued righteousness in Allah’s (SWT) cause to be accomplished thereby allowing the couple to realise half of their faith through marriage and so successfully negotiate the single most crucial question defining the value and merit of their marriage in the estimation of Allah (SWT), namely:

“Are we as a Muslim couple actually completing half of our faith on the basis of how we are acquitting ourselves in relation to our marriage?”

In chapter 1 and chapter 8, we have, inter alia, discussed in extensive detail the conflict resolution strategy developed by Kamran A. Beg Events that Muslim couples may rely on and apply based on the Islamic Marriage Model developed by Kamran A. Beg Events to resolve any differences that may transpire between them. Furthermore in chapter 8, we have provided an example of conflict resolution based on the Islamic Marriage Model and a detailed case study showing conflict resolution based on the Islamic Marriage Model.

The Islamic Marriage Model fully accommodates the compartmentalisation of a successful Muslim marriage into three distinct stages: the Early Passion Stage, the Accommodation Stage and the Sustained Harmony Stage (see chapter 8).

Satiating each of the six sets of rights in full in accordance with the Quran and the Sunnah on an ongoing basis allows each of the three distinct stages of marriage - the Early Passion Stage, the Accommodation Stage and the Sustained Harmony Stage - to be negotiated successfully allowing the couple to enjoy a successful marriage (see chapter 8).

The Islamic Marriage Model makes it clear to Muslim couples that divorce or khula (see chapter 1) should only be sought when it is beyond all reasonable doubt that the marriage is dysfunctional, devoid of “love and compassion” (Quran 30:21) and putrid and the misunderstandings and differences between the couple are irrefutably intractable, irresolvable and irreconcilable. Divorce or khula should only be contemplated when absolutely imperative. Divorce or khula should only be initiated after genuine attempts at reconciliation have proved unsuccessful. Once initiated the lawful steps outlined in chapter 1 in keeping with the Shariah should be followed.

The Islamic Marriage Model needs to be embraced by Muslim singles seeking marriage as well as Muslim couples themselves (see chapter 1). Additionally, as we discuss in chapter 1, marriage experts and counsellors advising Muslim couples and indeed family members and friends to whom couples may turn to for guidance from time to time should acquaint themselves rigorously with the Islamic Marriage Model appreciating that any advice ventured and subsequently implemented by the couple must fully take into account and respect the Quran and the Sunnah if the couple are to excel in half of their Deen on the basis of the marriage in the judgement of Allah (SWT).

Thus this - my second - book comprises of eight chapters in total. In chapter 1 we provide the reader with an understanding of the Islamic Marriage Model. We then discuss in detail each of the six sets of rights - the wife’s rights, the husband’s rights, the mutual rights shared by the couple, the children’s rights over their parents, the parents’ rights over their children and the Muslim Ummah’s rights over the family - stemming from the marriage tie and therefore underpinning the Islamic Marriage Model. A chapter has been devoted to each set of rights, which has been described rigorously, in order to give the reader an erudite insight into each set of rights (see chapters 2 to 7). Once we have completed our detailed examination of each of these six sets of rights (see chapters 2 to 7) we then put the Islamic Marriage Model in context through the discussions informing chapter 8, which is the final chapter of the book, by furnishing Muslim couples with a detailed insight into how the Islamic Marriage Model may be applied in practice as they seek to complete one half of their faith.

We will now unravel the workings of the Islamic Marriage Model. Let the journey begin!

Kamran A. Beg's new book, The Islamic Divorce Model: An Islamic Guide Explaining the Laws and Procedures Associated with Lawful Divorce in Islam, has been published!
For more information about the book kindly click here

The Islamic Divorce Model: An Islamic Guide Explaining the Laws and Procedures Associated with Lawful Divorce in Islam, published in 2010, is Kamran A. Beg’s third book and furnishes the reader with a detailed, insightful, conspicuous and comprehensive understanding of the laws and procedures associated with lawful divorce in Islam through providing the reader with a thorough and rigorous exposition of the Islamic Divorce Model, which is inspired in full by the Quran and the Sunnah.

This book follows Kamran A. Beg’s outstandingly successful first two books, The 3-Dialogue Rule: One Hundred Muslim Marriages in One Thousand Days, published in 2006, and The Islamic Marriage Model: An Islamic Guide for Muslim Couples, published in 2009, which have now each been read in over one hundred countries worldwide. For more information about Kamran’s first book kindly click here.

The Islamic Divorce Model, which subscribes in full to the Quran and the Sunnah and is therefore based solely on the Shariah, explains the laws and procedures associated with seeking a lawful divorce in Islam. ‘Islamic Divorce Model’ is a term that has been introduced by Kamran A. Beg Events to denote the laws and procedures associated with seeking a lawful divorce in Islam, which are encompassed and circumscribed by the Shariah. A lawful divorce in Islam is one that is halal or Islamically-permissible. Every Muslim divorce must therefore be guided by the overriding need to subscribe in full to the laws and procedures prescribed by the Quran and the Sunnah that are associated with undertaking a lawful divorce.

Propelled by the balance and moderation central to the Shariah, the Islamic Divorce Model, which is predicated on balance and moderation, is the only system of divorce that is perfectly synchronised with our fitrah, that is the natural disposition of the human being, which must be the case since this system is a product of the Divine Law. Since the Islamic Divorce Model is inspired by the Shariah and therefore the Divine wisdom, Alhamdulillah, it is superior to the various frameworks for divorce provided by all other religious and secular systems.

The book has already received excellent global reviews.
