Get to know more about Islamic Marriage Careline

The Muslim Association of New Zealand Incorporated (MANZ) is pleased to offer the Islamic Marriage Careline, a dedicated service to support the sacred institution of marriage within our community. Reflecting the Prophetic teaching that “Whoever among you can afford to marry should do so” (Sahih Bukhari), we provide guidance, resources, and care to help couples build strong, faith-based relationships and navigate challenges with compassion and wisdom.

Our Mission

The Islamic Marriage Careline exists to strengthen marriages by offering Shariah-compliant support for every stage—whether preparing for nikah, nurturing a partnership, or resolving difficulties. We aim to honour the Qur’anic vision of spouses as “garments for one another” (Qur’an 2:187), fostering love, mercy, and mutual respect among New Zealand Muslims.
