THE JOURNEY TO MARRIAGE: DECISION TO MAKE?
Marriage is so so important that the real preparation towards it starts not by proposing to a Partner but being Servitude to Allah in cry and hope that Allah would grant you a very Pious Partner. It is not just a mere say 'I want to get married' but it starts with Dua that is the first key to a good marriage in sha Allah. You may be better and better in Deen but your partner could change your life as you live with him or her.
Young people have this dream and hope of Raising a good family when they look at how Parents had failed in catering for their wards The mother and father had this dream before but what happened? It is perhaps they never pray for a good partner or perhaps they did not pray for the guidance of their wards even prior to their marriage.
Prophet Ibraaheem peace and blessing of Allah be Upon was told in the Qur'an to have said: O Allah! Make me Amongst those who Perform salat and also my progeny. He did the Dua for the goodness of himself and Wards and Allah answered him! Subhaanallah!!!!!!. I know we can start to change the destiny of the future ones coming first with Dua then we propose in sha Allah.
One thing we have to know for sure is that marriage is an act of worship and when you are married you have completed half of your faith. We enter into it as we are going to do the worship of Allah and not because we are getting old or just because we have to get married. Get your thinking and priority right, then you marry to complete half of your faith with someone who deserve you........!!!!! Marriage is an Ibaadah so make it as such and earn the pleasure of Allah.
The best form of preparation that you can do for marriage is making sure you are a good person enough for someone special. The person should see you as a faith uplifter. When you have gotten things right from your side, make you spend the night in cry and Allah who hear duas would surely answer your Dua in sha Allah. May Allah help us. Ameen.
Choose the Deen#
May Allah guide us. Ameen#
Choosing a Partner is one of the life time decision you have to make, if you choose the wrong partner then you suffer forever and when you make right you enjoy forever. This issue of choosing a Partner is the first and very mistake people make in their life thus choosing a Partner that become chaos for them throughout their marriage life. Choose wisely please.
What most youth do is to compromise when it comes with the issue of choosing a partner. Do you know what it means by even saying I am married? When you go and get her you live with her aiming for Jannah. You live with the partner permanent and not temporally so make sure you only go for someone who can be there for you and uplift your Deen till Jannah In sha Allah. You need to be serious about it because that is your life and your Akhira.
Marriage is not just meeting a woman on facebook, whatssap and on Social media groups and then you propose there and then decide to marry! No!! It is never done this way! It is not done just by a mere phone call or just a chat! No!! It is so so serious that the Noble Prophet said : Go and have a look at her for she may have some thing that will make you convince to marry her! Subhaanallah!...
You want to marry because you becoming old? You are rich? If you don't marry her someone will come and take her away? If this is your reasons then you don't have an aim! You don't!! Are you ready to accept your responsibility I ask? You don't marry just because you have wealth but we marry when you are ready to accept responsibility and are ready to be in worship of Allah by being kind to your partner till Jannah.
Set your priority right please, we marry not because we want to amass wealth or get pregnant and that is all.. Never! There is more to it...How ready are you to cater for your wards if Allah bless you with one? We marry in pursuit for Jannah and not Akhira! Are you in fact ready for marriage? Time will tell in sha Allah. May Allah help us. Ameen
Marriage does not necessarily needs only a perfect partner but a Striving partner who is ready to worship Allah with you through the Sacred Union. If we Are to take the sayings of the Prophet then that alone is enough for us but we run away from it just because of a mere thing that fades away in a space of time. Sometimes we see people who could be a good partner for us but we still say No despite the glaring truth!.We. Need to wake up wallah!
The Most blessed meted out Wealth and fame and good lineage as a reason to marry or accept proposal but he emphatically stated go for that with Deen and He even prayed for us! Subhaanallah!! It is wide open for us but the minds of people are so in love of worldly things more than the Aakhira! Remember marriage is worship.
The wealth is good and the fame is good but let your primarily goal be on the Deen factor! When you get the Deen! All the other factors is just a Secondary goal. You need the Deen in your life but the wealth is just a want that you want. The Deen give you not just Aakhira but contentment in the Dunya and Aakhira. Go for Deen please. That is far better for you.
Make things right so as not to regret. We hear a lot of suffering from many Sisters who were Pious prior to their marriage but are in the hands of evil men who who do not appreciate them and do not care for them. What had caused this? Perhaps they followed materialism and when you follow that that is the end of your cake. So make things right. Don't just accept just because he is a big Sheikh who teaches you, there is more to search than just the normal seen you see of him.
Marriage is not to be lived in a week or a month but when you marry you are saying you want to live with the person till Jannah. Are you ready to marry a man who have never talked to you about your Deen? All he does is love! Love! Love! Is this the man you want him to be a guide for you to Jannah?🤔🤔 Subhaanallah! Love for the sake of Allah and never do a work of compromise in the sacred marriage. May Allah guide us. Ameen
Marriage is the first step to attaining janna so make sure you seek that which will extra boost your Deen. When a person propose to you, it is not accepted just because he seem good to you! Never! It will be of your good to enquire much about him before saying yes for that will serve you as a reminder that at least you followed the Sunnah of the Prophet SAW.
In fact when you have seen a man of good character there is no harm proposing to him if you have interest in him. He may have the same interest but may be he cant say it. Do not fear for any embarrassment for a man who is good would be pleased to hear and would love you more. Don't miss the opportunity of this nature for such people are like pearls in the Society, you don't get them that easy.
The mother of the Believers, khadija (r a) proposed to the Noble Prophet (S a w) just because of the Good character she saw him have.. She was on a journey of getting the Aakhira so she didn't look at what the Society are saying, she set her priority right and she proposed and he accepted and look at the blessing she became to the Ummah of Islam.
Sometimes you may see good glaring you in the face but not pay attention to it when you have it but when it is taken away from you and you see the blossoming of the goodness then you began to regret why you couldn't take an action. Make hay whilst the sun shines. I hope you will meet that one partner in sha Allah.
Make your priority right, and seek only good and when you seek pray for the help of Allah. I hope you choose Aakhira over Dunyaa when it come to marriage. May Allah help us and grant us pious partners and strenght the chain of love of the married and unmarried people Amen.
Remember
That love,trust,kind care and effective communication make the love and marriage to look like newly marriage. I encourage your to keep to my word of advice .
Barakallahu feek
