The story revolves around the imagery of a holy and peaceful night, which is also central to the spiritual imagery of Christmas. Better Than A Thousand Months emphasizes the similarities between Islam and Christianity while downplaying the differences. The story is narrated by the African-American father of a large Muslim family who tries to answer his children's questions about religion honestly and creatively, while also seeking peace of mind and honest answers to his broader and more subtle questions about life.

A much needed manual, this marvelous book that draws from Islamic sources to provide practical advice for a Muslim couple. Far from the sociological analysis or list of rules that fill other books about Islamic marriage, this book draws from the wisdom of the Sunnah to show how to love your partner in this life and prepare each other for the next. Written with plenty of real life experience (and even humor) from Muslims living in the West, the author balances the issues of male-female differences, respect for each others rights and needs and raising God-conscious children. A must read for anyone interested in marriage.

This is Book 12 of Ihya 'Ulum ad-Din, Imam al-Ghazali's most famous work. In it are covered every aspect of the institution of marriage. In the words of the Imam, "Marriage comes to religion's aid, striking devils with dismay. How appropriate that one should study its occasions, preserve its sacred traditions and its etiquette, explain its aims and purposes, and detail the paragraphs and chapters of the subject. Its most important precepts will be expounded in three chapters: 1) The pros and cons of marriage; 2) The proprieties to be observed in respect of the contract and the two contracting parties; 3) The right conduct of conjugal life from the time of the contract until separation occurs."
