In the dark of night, if the lighthouse is extinguished, navigating our vessel to the safety of the shore may prove impossible. Caught in the turbulent onrush of raging waves, we are reinvigorated with hope when our eyes descry the glimmering light emanating from the lighthouse. We must not fear turbulence; it is darkness that is truly frightening. Guided by the lighthouse, we can find our way safely to the shore.

The welfare of the family unit constitutes the core of Islam’s social and moral teachings. One could scarcely find any other institution whose sanctity and significance Islam honors more than those of the family. In the series entitled IN PURSUIT OF PEACE, Mohsen Abbasi Valadi, a veteran family counselor and renowned scholar and public speaker, eloquently articulates the principles and techniques that we can rely on in this day and age to commence and maintain a happy and successful marriage and, in so doing, secure our personal wellbeing as well as that of our family.

The Lighthouse of Knowledge, volume one of this series, elucidates seven principles that shed light on the primary purpose of the sacred institution of marriage and why maintaining its integrity is crucial to human wellbeing. These seven principles constitute the metaphorical lighthouse that can show us the way to the shore of safety in these spiritually dark and morally turbulent times.
