Why Taqwa is the Key, Overcoming the Fornication Mindset in Muslim Relationships, by Imam Luqman Ahmad
THE PSYCHOLOGY OF ZINA Interesting, a lot of Muslim men marry women that other non-Muslim men would never marry prior to Islam.

Preserving Islam in the Family. The case for generational continuity. By Imam Luqman Ahmad
I will stress one thing; the importance of preserving Islam within your family. When communities fail as they sometime do because of all the infighting and politics, and foreign spheres of influence, Islam is preserved through the families and in passing it down to the next generation.
