Getting Married: Clear and Practical Guidance for Success

At this one day seminar being held in Toronto, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani will discuss the act of marriage and take attendees through the recommended processes for this spiritual act, in the context of modern life in N.America. This seminar is highly recommended for those wanting to get married, parents with children of marriage age, and anyone wishing to understand the guidance and wisdom of the Qur'an and Sunna with respect to getting married.

The Getting Married Seminar was recently held in Baltimore, MD, and attendees found it an extremely beneficial and enlightening.

"Every important topic was discussed, from the proper intention to have when marrying, to marriage contract considerations, as well as many other central issues... It was refreshing to have an Islamic scholar who not only knows the Islamic tradition, but also has the wisdom to give practical advice to Muslims in West on how to find a spouse and have a successful marriage" (Br. Abdul Razak, Getting Married seminar attendee, Maryland) 

"The content covered was very detailed and beneficial to both the singles and married couples present. It was a very entertaining lecture, with a lot of anecdotes given" (Sr. Sarah, Getting Married seminar attendee, Maryland)

In the Getting Married SeekersSeminar, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani will give practical guidance on how to get married successfully in our times. The seminar will cover:

* Why marriage is half of religion, and the many religious aims and worldly benefits of marriage

* How to choose your spouse--covering issues uch as arranged marriage vs love marriage, parental preferences vs personal choice, dealing with the "must be a doctor syndrome"

* Involving parents in the best way--including how to convince them when they're not agreeing, when to insist and when to consider conceding
Marriage ceremonies--adhering to Qur'an and Sunna, while considering custom and family traditions

*The marriage contract--securing rights, agreeing on key concerns, and setting the right tone & spirit

* Realizing that marriage is, ultimately, a tremendous spiritual act.

SeekersSeminars include extensive time for related Questions & Answers, so come prepared with questions.
