9 May 2025
Every marriage in Islam should have three important characteristics: sakinah, mawaddah, and rahmah.
Every marriage in Islam should have three important characteristics. The first is sakinah, which means tranquility and peace. The second is mawaddah, which refers to the warmth of love that encourages the couple to do their best in their marriage. The final characteristic is rahmah, which is compassion and mercy between partners.
Various forms of effort and dedication, through time, energy, emotion, and wealth, must be provided or spent in building a marriage.
