The book titled GARMENT OF COMPASSION: Seduction Tips for Sustainable Marital Intimacy - written by a seasoned writer and a certified marriage counsellor, Barrister Abdullateef Lanre Abdullahi- is a novel masterpiece, an innovative work of art about marriage for Muslim couples seeking to nurture their emotional and physical connection according to the Quran and the Sunnah. 

The book tackles sensitive topics like sex, seduction, and intimacy, which are often avoided due to embarrassment or shyness. However, neglecting these topics can lead to Muslim individuals seeking information from unverified or non-Islamic sources online, which may provide misleading or harmful guidance. 

By addressing these topics in a respectful and Islamic context, the book aims to provide a reliable and trustworthy resource for Muslim couples, promoting healthy relationships and intimacy within the boundaries of Islamic values. 

To be candid, I really enjoyed the book. This will be the first time I’m reading such a book from start to finish completely glued to every paragraph and chapter. 

Written with a great level of scholarship and deep research, this book is an invaluable resource for Muslim individuals and couples seeking Islamic instruction on intimate relationships. It fills a critical void in Islamic literature by addressing delicate issues, both as a pre-marital guidance and a tool for married couples to deepen their relationship. The book promotes robust, loving relationships based on Islamic ideals by delving into intimate topics with care and knowledge. 

This book masterfully blends clear language, robust Islamic and Arabic scholarship, and a profound understanding of Islamic jurisprudence, making it a comprehensive and authoritative resource on the subject. I strongly recommend it for every Muslims.
