A pre-Islamic epic where the warrior Antarah Ibn Shaddad fought against social prejudice and tribal obstacles to prove his worthiness to marry his cousin Ablah [9].

Layla sobs. “Yes. And that’s why it’s so hard.”

She calls a female scholar she trusts—not for a fatwa, but for suluk (spiritual wayfaring). The scholar, Dr. Hala, listens and then says: “The Prophet, peace be upon him, said, ‘There is nothing better for two who love each other than marriage.’ But note: he did not say ‘there is nothing more lawful.’ He said ‘better.’ Love, Layla, can be a station of iman if it purifies you.
