 One of the important conditions that we have in marriage from the Islamic point of view Islam emphasizes that when you marry someone You know one of the things that you had to see whether they are kufu of one another or not and kufu means You had to see whether they are compatible to one another or not and one of the most important dimensions of that Compatibility is the issue of iman and faith You know If you look around there are issues when you have people two people from two different backgrounds As far as faith or even mazhab is concerned They are issues Initially things are very good Or we love one another we can handle whatever comes But life is not like that way Especially when your children come in then they are disputes Do you go to for Shabaya Shab-e-Qadir here or do you go for tarabi over there? You know many many issues come up and this is where the issue of iman comes in for us one of the best example is the example of Fatima Tuzahara and Ali bin Abi Talib, alaihi salatu wa salam I think the the true love and relationship is Tested at the time of difficulties When things are okay, everything is okay But that's not the actual time when you see the worth of a person You know, this is a very interesting story. You might have heard it before about Bibi Fatima Tuzahara once was not feeling well And Amir al-Mu'minin asked her That what does your heart desire from the sweets of this dunya? What do you want now? Tell me I'll I'll go and get it Remember, this is normal You know level of life. We are not talking about medicals here And this is where you know Sayyid al-Fatima says that you know my heart desires Ar-Rumman Qalbi ashtahi rummanan, you know my heart, you know our desires from granite and When Amir al-Mu'minin heard that he said okay, I'll try First of all, he didn't have enough money at that time. So he had to go and first borrow Then he goes to the bazaar finds The rumman and then he bought it while coming back to home. He's so a And a poor person sitting by the side of the road Who was saying that I am Marie's also You know, nobody's helping me So Amir al-Mu'minin sat down with him And he said what do you want? He says, you know, many people have been passing by for more than one day here Nobody turned or sat down with me to ask me, you know, how am I doing and whether they can help me or not You are the first one. He says, what do you want? Interestingly, you know when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gives you a status He will put you to even higher levels of test and trial You know, why does it happen with him? We don't know because he is on that level and He says, you know, I have this desire my wishes to get a pomegranate He had only one And he thinks about it. I have a wife at home who wanted this and I promised I'll get it She's not feeling well This man on the street is asking for the same thing Then he says, but I remember this ayat of Quran Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says when a beggar comes to you do not refuse in a rude manner So Ali decided to sacrifice there and Gave that Rumaan to that, you know poor old man who was not feeling well He added actually he brought a rocket for him and fed him And he felt very comfortable and kind of better at the time And this is where Amil-e-Mu'minin now has a bigger challenge goes home Kind of embarrassed. What does what do when what does he say to his wife? And this is the time of test and trial This is where kufu comes in whether they are compatible to one another on the level of values and Eman or not You know, sometimes you will have similar situations where your respect and love will be questioned You know, you have nothing in my heart for me. You give to somebody outsider But now look at the example that we have from Sayyid-e-Fatima salamatullahi alayha When he realized even she realized she says Amma innaka magmumu While he you feel sad for what happened Fawa izzatullahi ta'ala He says I swear by the majesty of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Inna ka lma at-ta'amta dhalika sheikh al-rummane When you fed that promigranate to that old man Zala an qalbi ishtiha al-rumman The desire that I hate in my heart for the promigranate Just went away You're not You know questioning him not being upset with him actually saying Ali. Don't worry And and this is where you know Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and now we come to the medical spot of the story Somebody knocked at the door And I'm a little more meaning said who is it? And he says this is Salman Ali opened the door and Salman was there, you know holding a tray which was covered And Ali said mimman ahadaya Salman Salman, this is from whom? He says minallahi ilal rasul wa minal rasul ilayka This is a gift from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to the prophet and from prophet it has come to you Amir al-Mu'mineen, you know took the tray picked up the cover and He counted nine promigranates Look says Salman says ya Salman لو كان هذا إليya لكان عشران لقوله تعالى من جاء بالحسنة فله عشرام ثالية Salman if this is from Allah for me There should have been ten promigranates here not nine Because Allah promises in the Quran if you do one good deed, I'll reward you Ten times and this is where Salman took it out from his bag They were close to one another don't worry about you know, and this is where Salman He says ya Ali wallah he cannot actually run Yes, they were ten but I just want to test you You know, and this is this is where remember this promise of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and this is Surah An-Fal Surah An-A'am Surah number six at hundred and sixty Where he says man jaa bil-hassana falahu ashraam thaliha If you do one good deed Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will reward you ten times
