That could be true for some people but they need to understand that Allah is the one who legistated the instituion of marriage, and we are doing it solely to please Him.

Aneebaba,
I don't think 28 is old LOL. You're still very young and the more mature you are, the better you will be able to know exactly what you're looking for in your life partner :) That makes things easier down the road coz the things you want when you're 21 can be very different from what you want when you're in your 30's :)

Assalamu alaikum everyone. Well am new to this blog and I don't spend too much time on the internet as well. Actually concerning this message it really touched me and this is completely true. But what i would like to share is that many muslim guy fear of getting married but they want to enjoy the marriage life without taking that commitment. They dont want to take that responsibility.

@aneebaba, thanks brother for your comments. No we...

@aneebaba, thanks brother for your comments. No website would be complete without readers like you.

It just depends on the subject, sometimes long is good, sometimes short is.

Aww, thank you for the advice Sis! It means a lot. About the length - I think you misunderstood, I was implying that a longer post was a nice change, unlike Br. Ikram's which are just pictures and a little text! Anyways, yes, I really loved this post . . I am not getting any younger (28) and though I have a tough year and half to go to finish my graduate studies, time does fly, so I know I have to mentally prepare myself as I move though the latter stages of my studies insha'allah.

Love the blog and the team. :-)

Aneebaba,
I'm glad that you liked it. Thank you again for reading and for your support. I was a bit apprehensive about the lenght of the article too :) I tried to keep it as short as possible but it can be hard to cover certain topics in short articles.

When the time is right inshaAllah, Allah will guide to choose the best person to marry. As long as you have your priorities straight and you know what you're looking for( good character and iman above all), you will be fine. It is scary to get married and build a life with someone who's a stranger to your persona. This can only be done with the help of Allah, a lot of patience and mutual understanding.

You are also right that the best of marriages are those that cost less. I remember reading that hadith and it also stated that the worst of marriages are the ones to which the rich are invited while the poor are not. May Allah guide us to the best of decisions!

Yes marriage is indeed a commitment to your partner and also to Allah swt since He is witness to it and to our acts. Thanks for reading.

Also the post title reminded me of Baba Ali's video on $25,000 weddings - one thing I surely want to avoid. I know that you weren't necessarily referring to how much monetary value the wedding will have, but also there is that Hadith that talks about the best of marriage are those that are least in cost, less burdensome and in the Indo-Pak, that's hard to avoid, but maybe the economy will help in reducing those costs!

Wonderful post Sis Hijabee. You covered all the main points/issues. The ayah from Surah Ar-Rum is one of my favorites (the other 9:71). That is silly if people the act of marriage itself is the 1/2 Deen - indeed marriage brings responsibility in so many aspects of life, that its clear that if one can do a decent job of that, then he is satisfying 50% of his/her Deen. Anyways, loved this post - 10 out of 10 on presentation/content and 10 out of 10 on length! (No offense Br. Ikram! hehe.)

As much as I am looking forward to finding someone I can accomplish this with, it is also scary as well in terms of knowing if a certain person is a the right and good life-long 'team-member.' when the time will be right :-) I hope Allah (swt) shows/Guides me when that time approaches.

2010-01-28T15:16:33.997-05:00

it is so gud to hear that marriage is not just for filling up ur life but its a commitment of ur heart to anyone who eventually becomes part of ur soul... it was so nice to read it.. n im sure marriage shud be done with the mutual interest, whether it be family or a life partner.. else in ur enitire life one will b acting half heartedly
