Choose A Faithful Spouse

Date: May 19, 2015

“A woman is sought in marriage for one of four things; her wealth, beauty, family and faith. Make sure to choose the one with strong faith.”- In this Hadith, Prophet delivers that people are giving more importance while choosing a wife. They prefer more for her wealth, beauty, family, faith and so on. But the very important thing is that faith is the first to prefer while selecting your wife. Values and faith can make a good and God-fearing wife. Parents must follow the same thing while selecting a husband for their daughter. Islam is fully against the system of giving or taking dowry, land , furniture or housing. A faithful and God-fearing spouse can lead a good life with his or her partner.

Precious Gifts a Person Leaves Behind

Marriage is a religious duty and a moral safeguard in the society. Marriage is the most legal way to indulge in intimacy between a man and woman. Delaying marriage without a legitimate reason is a sin in Islam. We should not get engaged for many months and the marriage should be solemnized quickly in order to allow the newlyweds to start their new life in the most pure manner. Keeping the engaged couples without a Nikkah is a great sin and it is similar to widowing. Get your Nikkah as soon as possible and complete your studies. To delay marriage in Islam is prohibited.
