Recently, the global Muslim blogosphere went on the usual defensive, as news of a “Muslim” media professional beheading his wife in a murderous rage did the rounds of all major news websites. Once more, allegations of Islam being a religion of barbarians and terrorists were allayed and refuted by Muslims, at times successfully, but at other times, perhaps a bit in vain.
We must realize that deducing the doctrine of a religion by looking at random contemporary examples is a mistake in itself. We must go back to its original teachings in order to get the real,
picture of what it entails for its adherents. The true role-model of Islam can only be presented by Prophet Muhammad 
“You have indeed in the Messenger of Allah a beautiful example (of conduct) for anyone whose hope is in Allah and the final Day, and remembers Allah much.” [33:21]The simple reason for Prophet Muhammad’s success in every sphere of life was his dexterity at human relationships.
Perhaps the most volatile and delicate human relationship is that between a husband and wife – the only relationship between a man and woman based on sexual attraction, companionship and love, that is allowed and recommended in Islam.
The reason why so many similar relationships between men and women outside marriage break up so often, is that primarily, it’s partakers do not understand it’s intricacies and requirements pertaining to human behavior.
