*Let's Change Our Mindsets About Marriage*

*Episode 59*

*EARLY MARRIAGE*

Marriage can be defined as a mutual relationship ordained by Allah for the believers as an act of ibadah between two people who love, trust, care, understand and respect each other for the sake of Allah so as to attain jannah, procreate children, fulfill their sexual desires, unite and enjoy companionship.

The prophet said, there is nothing better for two people who love each other than marriage (Jamii tirmidhi). The importance of marriage can be traced back to the early days of Adam alayhi salam. When Allah created him, the first thing Allah gave him is knowledge, and the second thing Allah gave him is marriage (hawa r.a) Subhanallah.

These shows how significance of nikkah. Adam alahyi salam felt lonely, Allah didn't give him a TV to while away time, he didn't give him PS3, or blackberry, iPhone or a car or laptop, but Allah gave him our mother in marriage. How can we now hesitate to marry today?

Brothers and sisters in Islam, why are you still single? Are you not tired of having wet dreams? Are you not tired of staring at the opposite ginger? Are you not tired of cooking undone food? Are you not tired of attending other people's marriage while you refuse to marry? Money is never an excuse, some companions were almost penniless as at the time they married. If the second thing that Allah gave the first human being /first prophet on earth is marriage, then what are u still waiting for?............What Is your excuse? Is it money? Allah promises to enrich married couples from his bounties. Is it unemployment? Allah promises to make a way for you from sources that you couldn't have imagined? Is it that you have not found the right person? Allah promises to be with the patient ones. Is it tribalism? Allah said he created us from a single pair of male and female and made us into nation and tribes so that we may know each other. What then is your excuse for refusing to marry? Is it your fear of heartbreak? The prophet said, what hit you couldn't have missed you and what missed you couldn't have hit you. Is it bcos you dislike early marriage and u want to graduate from school before marriage?

Allah said, perhaps you dislike a thing but in reality its good for you and perhaps you love a thing but In reality its bad for you. Is it bcos your friends are committing zina and u want to follow them too? Allah said, if you follow most of the people of the world, they will mislead you away from the path of Allah. Is it because you want to have ur own car/house first? The prophet said, whoever trusts Allah sincerely, Allah will provide for him just the way he provides for the birds who go out in the morning empty and return home satisfied.....

Dear single brodaz and sistaz, what then is your excuse ???? Why have you refused to marry? Is it that you don't believe in the words of Allah or in the hadith of the prophet? Don't you know you are not getting any younger? Has the time not come for you to give your parents grandchildren to carry in their hands? Has the time not come for you to have trust in Allah and get married irrespective of your situation?

Allah said, has the time not come for the believers that their hearts should be affected by the Quran and to embrace the truth which has been revealed. (Surah Hadeed vs 16). When you go to a family and make a proposal that you want to marry their 14yrs old daughter, they will tell you that their daughter is TOO young for marital commitments but when that same daughter has some boyfriends, her parents will not complain about it. This is the irony of our society today! Allah created us and so he understands our bodies needs even more than we know ourselves. Once a person reaches puberty, he naturally starts getting inclined to the other gender, because he/she has feelings and emotions running thru the veins and hearts which has to be fulfilled either through the halal way or haram way. Some people are born with high level of hawa (desire) while some have low hawa.

May Allāh (Sub-haanahu wata'aala) guide us. Ameen

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today?

 One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today? Alhamdulillah, it is clear from Quran and hadiths that any christian who dies believing Jesus is God or son of God and do not believe in prophet Muhammad Peace be Upon Him will enter hellfire. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:17 They have certainly disbelieved who say that Allāh is Christ, the son of Mary. Say, "Then who could prevent Allāh at all if He had intended to destroy Christ, the son of Mary, or his mother or everyone on the earth?" And to Allāh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them. He creates what He wills, and Allāh is over all things competent. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:72 لَقَدۡ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَۖ وَقَالَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ يَٰبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبَّكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُۥ مَن يُشۡرِكۡ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدۡ حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ وَمَأۡوَىٰهُ ٱلنَّارُۖ وَمَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِنۡ أَنصَ...

PURIFICATION OF THE HEART

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm al-khamis, 20th day of Swafar 1447AH, Thursday, 14th August 2025. *_PURIFICATION OF THE HEART_*. BismilLah.  A sister asked me yesterday how we can purify ourselves to achieve the immense benefits mentioned in our reminder yesterday.  The command to purify our hearts from sins was an essential Islamic teaching ever since the early stages of the revelation in Mecca. This is known as “purification of the soul” (tazkiyyat an-nafs).   ALLAH Azzawajal says: He has succeeded who purifies the soul, and he has failed who corrupts the soul. Surah Ash-Shams 91:9-10. Also, ALLAH Azzawajal says: A day when there will be no benefit in wealth or children, but only in he who comes to ALLAH Azzawajal with a pure heart. Surah Ash-Shu’ara 26:88-89.  We learn from these verses that our success in the Hereafter depends upon the purification of our hearts in this life. We must purify our hearts from spiritual sins such as greed, malice, envy, arrog...
