* It is a desirable Sunnah that the groom puts his hand on the bride’s head and pray for her. The Prophet (SAW) taught us to say:

“O Allah, I ask You her goodness, and the goodness of the inborn dispositions which You have given her, and I solicit Your protection from her evil, and the evil of the inborn dispositions which You have given her.” (Related by Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah).

“Whoever makes ghusl on Friday to clean himself from janabah (impurity due to having intercourse), then left for prayer, it is as if he offered a camel in sacrifice.” (Related by Al-Bukhari)

* The couple is encourage to engage in foreplay before having intercourse. The Prophet (SAW) said:

“One of you should not fall upon his wife like the animal does, let there be a messenger between them.’ He was asked: ‘And what is the messenger?’ He said: ‘Kissing and talking.’” (Related by Al-Daylami)

This indicates that the man should seek to satisfy his wife’s desires as she satisfies his.

* Before starting intercourse, it is a Sunnah to make the following supplication:

“In the name of Allah, O Allah, keep Satan away from us, and keep Satan away from that (the offspring) which You grant us.” (Related by Al-Bukhari)
