 Marriage is one of the most attacked human institutions in the world, the union between men and the women has come under severe fire, not only from the work mob but also from entranced society norms and even governments. These attacks now come in smarter methods, with the garb of human right wanting to legitimize them and demonize common sense. Every facet of society is suffering from the fallout of a marriage. In some parts of the world, marriage is now like a commodity that people use and switch to another when they get tired. Marriage has also been redefined to the extent that the normal ones are called traditional, while the rest set for times like gay or civil marriage, often between people of the same sex. Even the church where people hoped to find the truth seems to have bowed to the pagan ideology living every man to his fate. But the video on the radar on the show today tells a loud story about the beauty of marriage. A marriage union undertaken the presence of God precisely on the holy ground in Mecca. Now, one of the things where people go wrong is in marriage when the marriage is struggling. Remember, marriage is a very big sacrifice. If you are going to sacrifice, you will be happy. If not, it will become a crisis. So if you want to protect yourself from the crisis within marriage, learn to trust one another and don't give reason for your spouse not to trust you. So while we are teaching you to trust one another, we're telling you don't give reason for the other, not to trust you. So this is a very balanced statement. The Quran chapter 30 verse 21 states and I quote, And among these signs is this that he created for you mate from among yourselves, that you may dwell in tranquility with them. And he has put love and mercy between your hearts. Verily, in that are signs for those who reflect elsewhere. Allah was explicit in Quran chapter 2 verse 187 when he said I quote, There your wives are your garments and you are a garment for them. In Quran chapter 24 verse 32 Allah was determined to create equality when he stated, Quote, And marry those among you who are single and those who are fit among your male slaves and your female slaves. If they are needy, Allah will make them free from want out of grace. And Allah is ample giving and knowing. Asalaamu alaikum brothers and sisters.

The topic of marriage is in the picture today. It was triggered by this video. Marriage is beautiful and looks far better when it happens to the presence of the Lord God, the creator of the universe and before the entire ummah. This emotional part taught me sincerely, the bride allowed her to fully roll down her eyes. And of course, you could see more pictures and happiness in their faces before the very cover. This is rare. I command them for taking it this far. It's really beautiful. Well, people, let's leave you right there. Please like, share and subscribe. I would leave you with a very beautiful message about marriage by Mufti Mank. Today we will be speaking about a very interesting topic and that is the husband-wife relation. I think a lot of people have a lot to learn because what happens is life is full of learning. If we don't learn, we will not be able to lead a life that is fruitful. All of us, as we grow and whilst we are young and still growing, we have a dream. And the dream is one day I will get married and one day I will do this. You know, if it's a female, she would say, one day I will marry such and such a prince of mine and the male will say, well, one day I will have the princess and this is what will happen and this is the type of person. We need to know that this entire thought needs to be harnessed and we need to think very carefully what type of a person we want to marry. The reason is that decision will determine the rest of our lives, whether we will lead a life of happiness or a life of doom. Decisions of marriage are by far the most important decisions that one could make within one's social circle and even for the rest of life. So it is important for us to know what the Prophet Muhammad, may peace be upon him, teaches us regarding making this choice. Firstly, he says that a woman can be married for some reasons. Some of these reasons are She can either be married for her wealth, some people look at wealth, wow, wealthy family, let me get married and sometimes they look at the status in society, wow, good lineage or should I say high status in society, prestigious people, let me get married. Sometimes they look at the looks, this person is very good looking, very pretty girl, very handsome man, let me get married and there is something that people look at which is religion, character and conduct. So the Prophet says Become successful by selecting the one who has religion, character and conduct and this is why the Prophet may peace be upon him says When someone comes to you with a proposal and you are happy with their level of character and conduct as well as religion then do not disagree or deny them, let them get married to your daughter. If you don't allow them, there may be lots of fitna and façade. What is fitna and façade on earth? Fitna meaning corruption, problems, disruptions, difficulties, calamities, so many things can happen. So this is the teaching of Muhammad, may peace be upon him. We need not reject proposals without a reason. Some people will reject it solely because they've had a problem with someone, solely because they had one raw deal where they were wrong sometimes and their daughter has to suffer, the son has to suffer. They lose out on good proposals as we all know today. To get a good person to marry is like hunting for a needle in a haystack.
