M A R R I A G E There is nothing beautiful about marriage without Islam- it gives this act a purpose, a stronger foundation and a beautiful reason. Today this marital bond is based on the highest Mahr, solely on the beauty of a woman, religious attraction of a mans attire or the wealth he has or the car he drives. It has been stripped of its purity and we are reckless of our understanding of this blessed reunion. It is Allah who instilled in His servants this desire to seek love and tranquility with another; we must ponder over the lives of our pious predecessors and how they lived their lives in blessed marital peace, - you see it was all for His sake and in the end their love for each other did not equate their love for Allah. They lived these precious lives but they never allowed life to take over them, they remembered it was all from Allah, everything- their marriage, their property, their kids- their intentions as pure as ever. Let not petty desires become a obstacle, enter this religious reunion with the intention of only pleasing Allah and then following the sunnah of Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم - do not let your needs and rights become first priority, it is indeed half of religion but the one you marry does not necessarily become your other half. Some will aid each other into the hellfire but it is only the righteous couples who will be a source of benefit to the ummah and raise pious offsprings- question the state of your heart when you desire marriage to someone who is not abiding to the laws of Allah? Marriage is an act of worship and like every other act it must be sincere to accepted but rather it has become an act distorted and mutated through cultures, desires and whims. Make it about gaining the love of Allah first, realise this is one of the longest acts of ibaadah one can act upon. So become righteous because Allah will only give you what you deserve- be the standard you seek and if they love Allah more than you then praise Allah you have found a worthy companion.
