The book "Garment of Compassion” is a detailed exploration of marital intimacy following a sound Islamic perspective. Bar. Abdullateef Lanre Abdullahi has remained a captivating and vast marital counsellor, and this is well demonstrated in the book as he made a very objective balance between love, desire, and Islamic principles. 

The importance of sexual fulfilment was greatly emphasized and discussed as a tool for a blissful marital life between couples. In this digital era with vast exposure of would-be couples and even already married couples to a lot of information mostly through social media, sexual compatibility is now a rising issue, and this was adequately x-rayed by the author especially addressing common misconceptions, cultural taboos and the age-long question of how to determine sexual compatibility before marriage.

The book is a great companion for everyone as it delves into practical strategies for enhancing intimacy, including romance, hygiene, seductive gestures, and emotional connection. Discussions around highly sensitive topics like the use of sex toys, spanking and sexting and their permissibility in Islam can also be found in the book.

This is a book that will keep the reader glued to it by way of the simplicity of language and sequence of very relevant topics with practical narratives for proper understanding. By emphasizing the importance of mutual consent, modesty, and the overall objective of sustaining a loving marriage, “Garment of Compassion” serves as a resource for Muslim couples seeking to nurture their intimacy while remaining mindful of their faith.
