Gentlemens low income is not an excuse for nt been married, Lets not forget that almighty Allah promised himself to help those who are striving to get marry so as to protect their faith. Personally i can testify to the aforemention Hadith; as of April 2014 thats 3 weeks before i proposed to my Fiancee my monthly income was 20k and she knw it, bt stil gave me green light to meet her parents, as straightforward person i told them where am working and Schooling at same time, her father gave me some words of encouragement that i cant never forget. Well to cut long story short... in fulfilment of his promise almighty Allah secure me a well paying job within less them a month after i gt engaged. Nw i can take good care of my forthfoming marriage without requestin a penny, I also hd a Car, and abt to start building my own House. ALHAMDULILLAH!
Update: Am in 3rd year of marriage almighty Allah has elevate me to the position which i have never dream of! Alhamdulillah 12 Likes 2 Shares |

Salam brother Ameen to your dua.I have performed istikhara few times. And it's helping me to guide my decision making. I always have another problem that the more responble men i have met are christains I really do not want to marry a christian. The last time I travelled home my mum was suggesting when next I visit maybe I should maybe do an introduction with with a christian guy i once introduced. Although I have stopped communicating with him. I don't like meeting people online because it's quite risky but I will try the website.
thot it was only me,christian male ten d to be on the responsible side,am sorry if it hurts not generalizing thou,the few have met are religious n well behaved,muslim dey won't pray n can drink brewery,am not out for a fanatic either,life is fun,but God should be part of the fun. 2 Likes 1 Share |

luv2talk: [b]I graduated from University 8 years ago, i was jobless for good 5 years before one of my Aunt help me secure a state Govt teaching Job. Through out my struggling period, no woman sees any future or potentials in me. Though, Im a born Comedian and many girls appreciate my sense of humor, but no one want to identify with poverty Im yet to married because i had two heart-breaks that almost cost me my life. The first Girl friend's Dad didnt allow me to marry her daughter cos i was a Teacher then i tried to persuade her that things will get better, But her Dad couldnt see future in me. Few month later, i was match-made with an abuja based muslim girl through a family friend. when i opened up to the lady that im a teacher, she asked if im willing to look for federal job or other high paying Job, i said NO, cos i knew what i was doing. i told her that im a Blogger and within a year, inshallah, i will be earning millions. She laughed at me and gave me conditions that before she could marry me, i must have a job that pays not less than 100k and i must be ready to relocate to ABJ. I almost gave up my dream of becoming a successful blogger. i arranged with a friend in abuja who got me a teaching job at one international sch there and they were ready to pay me 120k. i rushed to call my girl friend and informed her about the Good news. Alas!! She replied it was too late, that she has found he guy with secured future. i nearly commit suicide then. Well, just one month after she dump me. Google sent me Half a million naira as my accumulated blog adverts. Inshallah today, Im the proud owner of Entertainment and Gossip blog www.Vibenigeria.com where I earn almost 7 figures from Google adverts every month. I just even open another tutorial blog www.TipsMill.com where i research solutions to what many people are searching for, ranging from Health, relationship, marriage, Business idea, Technology and more. Exactly this time last year, the bike i use to ply around knocked and i couldnt afford to repair it.Poverty was my middle name then, seeing what i looked like then can even scare a potential wife . Mehn, Thunder Fire Poverty I live more comfortable now and i employ 3 people that earns Higher 5 figures monthly from me.
Now, Many women are professing their love for me now as if i be learner Anyway sha, i wish im married, but Allah knows the best
Since then, i have lost hope in women, i find it difficult to fall in love again. Im a well-read mallam, But im happily single. only in love with my blogging business[/b]
N.B Nairaland and Linda Ikeji really played dominant role in my blogging career, inshallah, im going to publish my story on my birthday 9th Jan. here on how i become a successful blogger within a year. its going to make front page and im sure linda ikeji is going to publish it too Hmmmmm what a story..u jst hav to open ur heart for some1 else to come in.....btw how can I b blogger I really want to |

hadizadeezy: op I agree with all but your first question!
marriage is not something you rush into because you think you are ready, we are all ready to get married but keeping it up is the problem, if u must know destiny works with reality! u don't sit at home and say because it is stated somewhere in the Qur'an that whatever is yours will be yours doesnt mean you should not work towards it.
marriage and money are now the same in our generation unless you are ready to put somebody's daughter in what the Hausa people call ALLAH SARKI lifestyle'
if you don't have money don't go and get married oo!
Marriage in the prophet's (SAW) time is different from our time, the expectations are different.
so brothers pls get ready before you seek. babe, u knock it off.....been long i last see somebody giving a comment so totally encompassing like this, talkless from a woman (if truly u r a woman). all what u wrote is the the reality of whats happening nowadays, we just have to deal with it.

syras:
Greetings,
In Islam, certain criteria are looked into when one wants to marry. These are:
*Beauty. *Family lineage. *Financial status of the person in question. *Deen (religion).
I must stress at this point that, the financial status of the person plays less importance in choosing a responsible and dependable spouse - as the last prophet Muhammad (saw) says: " if a man approaches you (father) to seek your daughter's hand in marriage, with whom you are contented with his religion and his lineage, then, you should rightly give him your daughter because, if you don't, "fitnah (oppression)" shall spread there-in on earth" (chain of hadith narrated by Bukhari and Muslim). From the prophetic saying aforementioned, the last prophet Muhammad (saw) did not hammer so much on the fortune of the person, but, rather on the RELIGION and LINEAGE. These two qualities are most important when searching for a spouse. However, beauty and fortune are equally essential but, should not be major yardsticks for spouse's selection.
Some islamic scholars do argue that, there isn't harm in marrying a person with opposite believe. This argument has an elucidation, though. ONLY A MUSLIM MAN CAN GO AHEAD TO MARRY A WOMAN OR LADY WITH OPPOSITE BELIEVE. IT DOESN'T WORK THE OTHER WAY ROUND. But, I ask this question: why marry a person with reverse believe when those people with exactly your believe are bountiful on ground?!
In brevity, a christian can marry a muslim, but, only if the christian is a lady or woman wishing to get hooked up with a muslim man.
Did the Hadith say "Lineage" The correct wording is Deenih Wa I'rdih meaning His Religion(Islam) and Character not Lineage. Please edit because some parents would refuse to give their daughters hand in marriage because the Tribe is not theirs. 2 Likes |

Pls I need answers.. Its only permissible for a Muslim male to marry from the people of the book(Christians and Jews),though it isn't encouraged because of the ill-effects.We believe in their prophets and their original books,we'll expect a Muslim male to give a non-muslim wife due rights. But it's FORBIDDEN for a female Muslim to marry other than a Muslim #Alhamdulilahi for Islam 1 Like |

Salam brothers and sisters, I can see most comments are from the brothers. As a Muslim lady I am the opposite of what most brothers have described.I have looked beyond a man financial situation because i on my own earn more than enough salary and never depended on a man The relationship i was in before was with a guy who was trying to take advantage of me been supportive towards him financially. And I turned to his ATM.there was also alot of lies and even after quiting it feels like all other nigerian men have met always trying to take advantage of my good heart.At the moment I am very skeptical about all the men I meet,because they want my help financially and it's over bearing. So i So now i have decided i want a man with good financial stability. Even if he doesn't give me money but to be able to take care of himself So it's not only the brothers that are facing such problem. Insha Allah I have faith in Allah(SWT) that we will meet pretty soon. :-D
May Allah assist you my Sister, I feel your pain. Oga ooo! |

yuskanovic: HUSBAND SCARCITY! This may not be the best time for me to write on this because of misinterpretations, but I can no longer resist the push. """Husband Scarcity""" has become one of the challenges faced by many muslima today. If you go to prayer houses, majority of the intentions are prayer for a life partner. And this calls for concern. Casting our minds back to the time of our mothers and grandmothers, was there really much of a "Husband Scarcity" problem? Or, maybe there were more men than women then, or there was an adequate corresponding numbers of both genders. I don't think so. Maybe then, the women had values and were prepared to build a home and not park into a built home. Then, once a young man comes of age and can at least feed himself and his wife, he goes out in search of a wife and the woman really appreciates him and helps him to build a future. What am I really trying to insinuate? We created what we now see as "Husband Scarcity" for ourselves. Today, the reverse is the case. Ask an average girl to define her dream husband; you get things like "he has to be tall, handsome, fair, and rich, own a house at least, and be presentable" and then she adds "God fearing" in order not to sound so worldly. Then, check the number of girls around you and the number of men that meet that standard, and you will see the problem. You would be hearing girls say, "I cannot suffer in my father's house and then go and start suffering with a man." What a wonderful dream! What if from the beginning, you have everything you want and there is no suffering, and later in the marriage, the table turns around, then comes suffering? Will you run away? No one prays for suffering, but it is good to start small and end big, than start big and end small. The problem is that the description majority of ladies give of their ideal man is virtually the same. When 50 ladies want the same kind of man and the man that fits what they want is just 1 man, and the man can only pick one. Then, what becomes of 49 others? They simply start lamenting of "Husband Scarcity". Another irony of our time is that it is hard, due to the face of our economy to find a man who is of marriage age who possesses all those things these ladies want, legally (except those involved in Internet fraud); even the number of those in Internet fraud is not enough to match all those searching for already made husbands. If you look around, majority of the ladies of substance, of good value and virtue, who are ready to build a home with a man who has prospects, are married and not complaining of husband scarcity. The easiest way to find a husband now, is to change your view of who a husband is. A husband is that man God made and then saw that it may be hard for man to really actualize the purpose for making him, without a help mate and then made the woman and gave to him, and he felt complete and fulfilled. MARRIAGE IS NOT A POVERTY ALLEVIATION PROGRAM. It is a mission of building the family that will serve God here on earth. For those who see marriage as a way out of poverty, it is a way into bondage. Women are HOME BUILDERS, not HOME WARMERS... DON'T CONFUSE A MAN'S PATH WITH HIS DESTINY. Where he is today, may only be a route to where God has destined him to be tomorrow. Another truth is that YOU MAY BE THE ONLY FAST MEANS TO THAT HIS DESTINATION. Join in alleviating "husband scarcity". PICK UP THE RIGHT VALUES. I am not saying that you should pick anyone that comes your way and talks of marriage, not all men are husband materials. What I am insinuating is that you should stop setting your standard on material acquisitions or physical appearances. Look metaphysical (beyond physical). WHAT MAKES A MAN WHO HE IS, IS NOT WHAT HE OWNS OR HOW HE LOOKS, IT IS WHAT HE IS MADE UP OF. And that which he is made of is, most times, not seen with the physical eyes, only its effects can be seen. Marriage is a permanent thing. Whatever is seen is temporal and that which is not seen is permanent. Relax and go to Allaah in prayer. Allaah did not just make Eve for making sake; He made her for Adam's need. You were awesome with that piece, but wait ooo! Why is this post just hitting front page? If I'm not mistaken, it started sometimes around Dec 2014 and this is may. Oga ooo |
