HIS SOLACE, HER STRENGTH: THE PERFECT COUPLE’S RELATIONSHIP, BY KHADIJAH BOLANLE AYOADE-SULEIMAN

Nigerian Public Health Leader Dr. Khadijah Ayoade-Suleiman Releases Groundbreaking Book on Islamic Marriage
His Solace, Her Strength Reframes Modern Muslim Marriage Through Quran, Sunnah, and Research
IBADAN, NIGERIA — A public health scholar and author Dr. Khadijah B. Ayoade-Suleiman announces the official release of her new book, His Solace, Her Strength: The Ideal Islamic Marriage Through the Lens of the Quran and Sunnah, now available on Amazon and through direct order.
A Medical Sociologist with a PhD from the University of Ibadan, Dr. Ayoade-Suleiman serves as State Coordinator, Khayr Cancer Health Initiative, and Nigeria National Director, Youth Mental Health Collaborative-Africa (YMHC-Africa). Her research in maternal health, reproductive health, and family systems informs this timely work on marriage.
His Solace, Her Strength responds to a critical question facing Muslim couples today: The Qur’an promises sakinah (tranquility), mawaddah (affection), and rahmah (mercy) between spouses — but how are these cultivated amid financial pressure, digital distraction, and shifting gender expectations?

The book provides a scholarly yet accessible framework, drawing on Quranic exegesis, authentic hadith, and the Prophetic ﷺ model of spousal conduct. It moves beyond cultural obligations to present marriage as a deliberate act of worship and mutual growth.
Key themes include:
– Theological foundations of Islamic spousal love
– The Prophet’s ﷺ example of tenderness, consultation, and loyalty
– Practical Islamic responses to modern marital challenges
– Spiritual disciplines of correction, forgiveness, and accountability
– Marriage as a shared journey toward Jannah
“The ideal Islamic marriage is not a perfect one. It is a faithful one,” Dr. Ayoade-Suleiman states. “This book is for couples, imams, counsellors, educators, and anyone invested in the spiritual health of Muslim families.”
Dr. Ayoade-Suleiman is also author of Raising the Apple of Our Eyes and has published widely on health literacy, including “Data and Research Literacy” in Sage Research Methods.
