Halal Love: Courtship, Marriage & Desire the Prophetic Way
About this ebook
By Abu Khadijah Damansari
Love, attraction, marriage, and desire—these are among life’s most powerful forces, yet they are also the areas most clouded by confusion, cultural baggage, and silence. Halal Love clears the path with clarity, warmth, and wisdom, showing how the Sunnah provides a timeless, balanced guide for hearts seeking both faith and fulfilment.
Drawing from the united wisdom of the classical scholars of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaah, and respecting all four madhhabs, this book offers practical and modest counsel on every stage of love: from the first stirrings of attraction, to courtship and nikah, to sustaining intimacy and joy in marriage. Without falling into either modern permissiveness or harsh denial of natural needs, it provides a shame-free framework rooted in mercy, dignity, and Prophetic example.
Readers will discover how to:
• Recognise the divine gift of love while guarding modesty and boundaries.
• Navigate attraction and courtship the halal way.
• Build a marriage on mercy, communication, and mutual respect.
• Embrace desire as worship, free from taboo or excess.
• Handle conflict, hardship, and even separation with dignity and ihsan.
Scholarly yet easy to read, rich with Qur’anic insights, Prophetic traditions, and classical fiqh, Halal Love is engaging, practical, and deeply relevant to today’s couples and those preparing for marriage. Whether you are single, engaged, newly married, or seeking to rekindle love after years together, this book invites you to discover the beauty of love the Prophetic way—faithful, modest, and full of joy.
