busar: Take it or leave it, the ugly past tends to be major destroyer of many marriages in this generation. Because such memory brings room for unnecessary comparison which will also have some negative impacts. My own is that let the like minds marry each other, that is, let the brothers with ugly past go with sisters of such past and vice versa. The Quran had laid the guidelines for such. |

As for me, any sister with ugly past does not fits to be my zawjah. |

snapscore:what kind of spouse had an Ex? What kind of spouse would compare her/his spouse with the Ex..... A serious minded Muslim who turned a new leaf after having ugly pasts would detest thinking about his/her ugly past let alone comparing the spouse with an ex! It, the ugly past would definitely gonna hurt him/her if truly he/she changed for better..... |

busar: Comparing a spouse to an ex is very possible. It doesn't necessarily have to do with not repenting. I could give a common example I've read about but I'd rather not. 1 Like |

Ibn-ishaq Aboo Haneefah Inenemo Don't just Marry any thing, marry something so that you won't desire to leave the marriage like it is nothing. Won't it be disheartening that you are filled with regrets just a week into the Marriage? Let me clear your doubts, if you marry a person who is not conscious of his or her religion (upon sunnah of course) , you will regret... Remember my words "you will regret". Marriage is one long term and boring commitment sustained by Fear of Allaah. |
Re: Muslim Singles: Why Are You Not Married? by Nobody: 11:48am On Dec 30, 2016 |
okay busar but I hope you understand where I stand. I am not all for focusing on the past when someone has repented but I agree that past actions can negatively impact marriage. |

Apologies if the length of this post seems quite discouraging but I find a lot of inspiration in it. Amazing Marriage Saʿīd ibn Muṣayyab Rahimahullah was one of the greatest scholars of his time. He was not a Ṣaḥābī, but met many Ṣaḥābah f and narrated ḥadīth from them. He was married to the daughter of Abū Hurairah Radhi Allahu Anhu, the close companion of the Prophet of Allāh Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. His knowledge and acceptance amongst his contemporaries can be gauged from the fact that he used to pass fatāwā (verdicts) while other Ṣaḥābah were still alive. Even ʿUmar ibn ʿAbdul ʿAzīz Rahimahullah , while he was Amīr al-Muʼminīn, would not make a decision without prior consultation with Saʿīd ibn Muṣayyab Rahimahullah . Saʿīd ibn Muṣayyab Rahimahullah himself says that he never missed takbīr al-la for forty years. He never saw the backs of people in ṣalāh for fifty years, because he always managed to perform ṣalāh in the first row of the masjid. He had a daughter of marriageable age, whose hand was sought by the ruler of the day, ʿAbdul-Malik, for his son Walīd. But, he refused the offer. This caused his relationship with ʿAbdul Malik to be soured and he was whipped a hundred lashes. Instead, Saʿīd ibn Muṣayyab Rahimahullah married his daughter to Abū Wadāʿah, one of his poor students. Abū Wadāʿah explains, “I used to sit in the company of Saʿīd ibn Muṣāyyab and happened to be absent for a few days. When I came to him, he asked where I had been. I replied that my wife had passed away and I was occupied with her funeral arrangements. He asked, ‘Why did you not inform us so that we could have attended her funeral.’ Then he asked, ‘Have you married again?’ I replied, ‘May Allāh have mercy upon you! Who would marry me when I have no more than two or three dirhams?’ He answered, ‘I will marry my daughter to you.’ I asked in doubt, ‘Will you?’ He replied, ‘Yes, I will.’ He then praised Allāh and sent durūd upon the Prophet of Allāh Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and married his daughter to me for a mahr of two dirhams. I left the gathering stunned and overjoyed. I came home and began to reflect from whom I could borrow some money. I performed Maghrib ṣalāh and returned home. I then broke my fast with some bread and olive oil. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. I asked, ‘Who is it?’ The reply came, ‘Saʿīd.’ I thought of everyone whose name was Saʿīd except Ibn Muṣayyab, because he had not been seen for forty years in any place except his home and the masjid. When I went out I was met by none other than Ibn Muṣayyab and thought that he had changed his mind. I said to him, ‘Abū Muḥammad, why did you not send for me? I would have come to you.’ He replied, ‘No, you had a greater right that I should come to you. You were single, and have just married, and I disliked that you spend the night alone. Here is your wife.’ She was standing directly behind him. He took her hand and ushered her towards the door. He then left. She almost stumbled out of modesty and shyness but managed to hold onto the door. I tried to hide the container of food in the shadows of the candle light so that she would not see it. I then climbed up the roof and called out to my neighbours. They arrived and asked, ‘What is the matter?’ I explained to them what had just happened. Some of the women from the neighbourhood came to my house and my mother was also informed. When my mother arrived she said, ‘I will not see your face again if you touch her before I have prepared her in three days.’ So, I waited for three days, after which I consummated the marriage with her. She was the most beautiful of women, the most knowledgeable regarding the Qurʼān and the Sunnah of the Prophet of Allāh Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and very well-acquainted with the rights of a husband. I did not attend the gathering of Saʿīd ibn Muṣayyab for an entire month. When I finally went, I greeted and he replied. He did not say anything further until the gathering had dispersed and I was left behind. He then asked, ‘How is she?’ I replied, ‘She is excellent, O Abū Muḥammad. She is one whom friends will love but foes will envy.’ He advised, ‘If the need arises you may discipline her.’ I returned home where I found that he had sent me a gift of twenty thousand dirhams. ” Another narration of this incident states that when the nikāḥ had been performed Saʿīd ibn Muṣayyab Rahimahullah said to his daughter, “Gather your clothing and follow me. Perform two rakāts of ṣalāh.” She complied, and Saʿīd ibn Muṣayyab Rahimahullah also performed two rakāts of ṣalāh. He then handed her over to her husband. Lessons √ Both father and daughter did not object to marrying a poor man. Wealth and status meant little to them and rightly so. A good Muslim father is one brings up his daughter with the knowledge of Qurʼān and Sunnah and marries her daughter to a man who is religiously inclined. √ Simplicity is the hallmark of an Islāmic marriage. Alien customs, formalities, false pretences, lengthy proposals and delays, pompous wedding celebrations and squandering of vast amounts of money are against Islāmic teachings. √ Nikāh should not be unnecessarily delayed. Imām Ghazālī Rahimahullah after quoting this incident explains, “The haste of Saʿīd ibn Musāyyab with the nikāh that very night shows the importance Islām places upon making haste with nikāh, so that human passion is controlled.” √ Ḥayā (shame and modesty) is a great virtue. √ Homes of happiness are built on the fabric of knowledge, etiquette, modesty, simplicity and compliance with religious teachings. True happiness and marital bliss can only be achieved through a pious spouse. COPIED 5 Likes 2 Shares |

^^ Smiled all through, even though I have read it somewhere before. May Allah make us from amongst the righteous and grant us righteous spouses that HE is pleased with and we would be please with as well. May HE grant us spouses and offspring that are a source of pleasure and coolness of our eyes. Ameen 1 Like |

Quick summary of the lecture. •A Muslim should understand that he has to get married. •Marriage can only be successful in sha Allah if it is done accordance to the Qur’an and Sunnah •A man should only marry if he is able to afford it. For example, has a job and able to pay for rent and food •If parents are wealthy and their son is unable to afford it, they can help him in that regards. •4 reasons of marriage- righteousness, lineage, wealth and beauty. •Marrying someone for his or her piety is best but beauty has to be taken in consideration. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder- not beauty in magazines and such •Modesty is a way of judging a woman’s righteousness •Marriage is a time when you have to be firm- if you do not like her, leave. Don’t worry too much about her feeling to the extent that you take a decision you originally didn’t want to take because you’ll have to pay for it for the rest of your life. •It doesn’t matter how long you’ve known the person. After you are pleased with a person’s righteousness, find them attractive and have a connection (you feel like this is a person I can be with), then do isthikhara. •After isthikhara – look for whether the situation is becoming easier or more difficult. Dreams don't matter •The more you communicate with the opposite gender, the more you will find things in common and start developing feelings even after engagement. Keep relationship with the opposite gender professional •Love all you want ONLY after getting married. •Then he mentioned some innovations during the engagement, the proper nikkah and so on. •Marriage without the woman’s guardian is NOT valid. 3 Likes |

Keep relationship with the opposite gender professional any unnecessary close discussions should be avoided, except after marriage for you are still non-mahrams. 3 Likes 1 Share |
