Yaser Birjas - Love and Mercy at Home, Courtesy of Quarantine

About this lecture

In this lecture, Sheikh Yaser Birjas reflects on Surah Ar-Rum (30:21) and its profound message about love and mercy in marriage, delivered during the COVID-19 quarantine period. He explores why Allah describes the marital bond as one of His greatest miracles, unpacks the two essential ingredients of a successful marriage — mawaddah (love) and rahmah (mercy) — and offers practical guidance for couples and families spending extended time at home together. The lecture concludes with a Q&A covering topics such as building compassion, dealing with abuse, advice for singles, and the importance of self-improvement before seeking to fix one's relationships.
