About the Book:

Principles of Marriage and Family Ethics serves as a comprehensive and compassionate roadmap for navigating the delicate dynamics of domestic life through an Islamic ethical lens. Rather than offering abstract theories, the book provides highly practical guidance on fostering mutual respect, resolving conflicts with grace, and understanding the distinct yet complementary roles of each family member. By blending spiritual wisdom with psychological insights, it transforms the concept of marriage from a mere legal contract into a sacred partnership built on affection and mercy, making it an essential resource for anyone – from idealistic newlyweds to seasoned parents – aiming to build a home that functions as both a sanctuary of peace and a foundation for moral growth.

About the Author:

Ayatollah Ibrahim Amini (1925–2020) was a distinguished Iranian Shia jurist and influential scholar whose life’s work was dedicated to bridging the gap between deep theological concepts and the practical needs of modern society. Known for his accessible and compassionate writing style, he authored dozens of widely translated books focusing on Islamic education, youth development, and family ethics. Beyond his prolific literary career, Amini held significant roles, including serving in the Assembly of Experts and as a Friday prayer leader in Qom, where he was respected for his balanced and moderate perspective. His enduring legacy is rooted in his ability to present religious teachings not as rigid mandates, but as a practical, empathetic framework for building harmonious relationships and a virtuous character.
