Leave the Real Marriage for the Marriage Night

This book suggests to the youth, solutions to only one of the burning
problems of the day, marriage, from an Islamic perspective and
viewpoint. The learned author, Mr. Ali Akbar Mazaheri, has put in a
great deal of hard and sincere endeavour to illustrate Islamic solutions
to this aspect of human life, particularly, the innocent youth of today,
who are being misguided, confused and perverted by the immoral
techno-propaganda of the imperialists, who have their own axe to grind
to achieve their selfish and nasty objectives all around the globe. We
hope that this useful book will be a guide for the perturbed youth and
an answer to a part of their quest.


Youth and Spouse Selection

Leave the Real Marriage for the Marriage Night
==============================================

My sister and brother, we have recommended to your parents, and were
recommend it to you as well-leave the real and actual marriage to the
marriage night. Now that the elders have shown confidence in you, you
also endeavour to honour their confidence. Do have enjoyable and lovely
relations, but leave the real marriage and its peculiar issues for the
marriage night.

I pray to the Almighty that you have a dynamic and prosperous life along
with faith, piety, and duty consciousness.

**Be felicitous:**
