Marriage - Marriage of Sons and Daughters





The predominant characteristic in societies is the imitation of one another, and this is a mistake. Islam has established firm principles and pillars, so we do not need to imitate others. Our religion strongly encourages the marriage of young men and women because of the apparent benefits and the prevention of expected risks. The Creator (Allah) knows His creation best. In Islam, our Prophet, peace be upon him, said;

 “O young men, those of you who can support a wife should marry, for it (marriage) controls the gaze and preserves one from immorality. And whoever cannot (marry) should fast, for it is a means of reducing the sexual desire." (Agreed upon)1

If early marriage was harmful to young people, the pure and sacred Shariah would not have encouraged it. The established principle in Islamic law is that "whatever Allah has commanded, He loves and is pleased with." So if Allah loves the marriage of young men and women, why do parents hesitate to marry them?

In society, there are many woes and calamities caused by delaying marriage, and the only remedy for that is through the institution of marriage prescribed by Allah. In it, chastity, modesty, and righteousness are realized.

Rindu Ramadhan 2 Jadikan bulan Ramadhan sebagai permulaan hidup baru, penuh ketaatan dan kebajikan; jadikan ia sebagai permulaan pemeliharaan solat di Masjid; berikrar sekarang untuk tidak lagi meninggalkan walaupun satu Solat (solat); lupakan tanggapan bahawa anda tidak boleh bangun dan solat Subuh (solat subuh) bersama jemaah; sucikan hati kamu dengan bacaan al-Quran; menitiskan air mata atas kejahatan yang kamu lakukan pada masa lalu, semoga  Allahﷻ  mengampuni kamu dan mengubah dosamu menjadi pahala; ingatlah bahawa Rahmat    Allahﷻ  lebih besar daripada dosa sesiapa; hentikan dosa dan jangan ambil perhatian terhadap kritikan yang akan anda buat dengan berbuat demikian; jangan sekali-kali meremehkan dosa - ber...

Rindu Ramadhan - I Mengenali dan menghargai nikmat Allah yang besar, di antaranya adalah keutamaan musim-musim tertentu dan peluang untuk beribadat kepada Allah padanya: Imam Ibn Rajab berkata: “Allah menjadikan beberapa bulan lebih mulia daripada yang lain sebagaimana Dia menjadikan beberapa hari dan malam lebih baik daripada yang lain; Contohnya adalah Dia menjadikan Malam Al-Qadr (malam yang tinggi di mana perkara ditetapkan) lebih baik daripada seribu bulan; Juga, Allah bersumpah dengan sepuluh hari pertama bulan Thul-Hijjah untuk mencerminkan keutamaan mereka.” Setiap musim yang mulia ini mempunyai ibadah tertentu dan bentuk ketaatan khusus kepada Allah, dan berbahagialah orang yang menggunakan musim, bulan, hari atau jam ini untuk m...

The Story From Al Quran - Barsisa the Worshipper (The Renegade)

  بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful [Illustration Only]   The Story of  Barsisa the Worshipper (The Renegade)   Allah the Almighty says in His Glorious Qur'an: كَمَثَلِ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنِ إِذْ قَالَ لِلْإِنسَـٰنِ ٱكْفُرْ فَلَمَّا كَفَرَ قَالَ إِنِّى بَرِىٓءٌۭ مِّنكَ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ ٱللَّهَ رَبَّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ١٦ فَكَانَ عَـٰقِبَتَهُمَآ أَنَّهُمَا فِى ٱلنَّارِ خَـٰلِدَيْنِ فِيهَا ۚ وَذَٰلِكَ جَزَٰٓؤُا۟ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ١٧ {(Their allies deceived them) like Shaitan (Satan), when he says to man: "Disbelieve in Allah." But when (man) disbelieves in Allah, Shaitan (Satan) says:  "I  am free of you,  I  fear Allah, the Lord of the `Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists)!" So the end of both will be that they will be in the Fire, abiding therein. Such is the recompense of the Zalimun (i.e. polytheists, wrong­doers, disbelievers in Allah and in His Oneness)}.   (Al-Hashr, 16, 17) Ibn  ...
