Post anything related to marriage, Muslim couples, quotes and reminders .
“Among His signs is that He created for you mates from among yourselves, in order to have tranquility with them and He put love and mercy between your (hearts) : verily in that are signs for those who reflect.” [30:21]
I know I haven't been posting as much on here (I'll try to soon), but this is one of my favourite threads. Marriage is such a beautiful part of one's life, it does need lots of hardwork and commitment, but so rewarding in both this world and in the hereafter.
May Allah swt give everyone a righteous spouse and blessed marriage. Ameen.
He is Allah, other than whom there is no deity, the Sovereign, the Pure, the Perfection, the Bestower of Faith, the Overseer, the Exalted in Might, the Compeller, the Superior. Exalted is Allah above whatever they associate with Him [59:23]
Lol not on IB much these days, if I'm really busy this is the only thread I'll try and be active on .
In Shaa Allaah.
So in the meantime, you're building up a collection of love quotes, stories, etc., so that when you're married, all you have to do is just copy from there and post it to her. Don't still have to go searching for things. That's smart.
Some ahadiths on marriage (and yes purple is my favourite colour)
“What a man spends on his family is a Sadaqa, and a man will be rewarded even for the morsel that he raises to his wife’s lips.”
The Prophet (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wa sallam)
[Tirmidhi, no. 537]
“A righteous wife who will help you in religious and worldly affairs is better than all the treasures the people have collected.”
The Prophet (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wa sallam)
[Ahmad (5/282) Tirmidhee and Ibn Majah from Thawbaan, Saheeh ul-Jaami no. 5355]
“The best of you are those who are the best to their wives, and I am the best of you to my wives.”
The Prophet (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wa sallam)
[Narrated by al-Tirmidhi no. 3895, Ibn Maajah no. 1977; classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi].
It was narrated from Anas (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
“Shall I not tell you about your men in Paradise?” We said: Yes, O Messenger of Allaah. He said: “The Prophet will be in Paradise, the Siddeeq will be in Paradise, the man who visits his brother who lives far away and visits him only for the sake of Allaah will be in Paradise. Shall I not tell you about your women in Paradise?” We said: Yes, O Messenger of Allaah. He said: “The loving and fertile one who, if she gets angry or is mistreated or her husband gets angry says, ‘Here is my hand in your hand, I shall not sleep until you are pleased.’”
[Narrated by al-Tabaraani in al-Mu’jam al-Awsat (2/206). It was also narrated from a number of other Sahaabah, hence it was classed as hasan by al-Albaani in al-Silsilah al-Saheehah (3380) and in Saheeh al-Targheeb (1942)]
Sayyida A’isha (Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would kiss one of his wives and then leave for prayer (salat) without performing ablution (wudu).
Urwa says that I asked A’isha: “It must have been you?”
(Upon hearing this) A’isha (Allah be pleased with her) smiled.
[Sunan al Tirmidhi, no. 86, Sunan Abu Dawud, no. 181 & Sunan al-Nasa’i, no. 170]
The Messenger of Allâh (May Allâh make mention of him in the highest places, and protect him) said:
قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه و سلم): إذا تزوج العبد فقد استكمل نصف الدين فليتق الله في النصف الباقي
“When a slave (of Allâh) marries, he perfects half of his religion. So let him fear Allâh in the remaining half”
[Reported by Al-Baihaqi from the Hadith of Anas (radhiAllâhu 'anhu), and considered good by Shaykh Al-Albâni]
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
“May Allah have mercy upon a man who wakes up at night, then offers Prayers, and wakes his wife up, and if she refuses (i.e., to wake up), he sprinkles water on her face. And may Allah have mercy upon a woman who wakes up at night, then offers Prayers, and wakes her husband up, and if he refuses (i.e., to wake up), she sprinkles water on his face.”
[Narrated by Abu Dawud, no. 1308; classed as saheeh by Shaykh Al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawud]
“All of you are shepherds and each of you is responsible for his flock. A man is the shepherd of the people of his house and he is responsible. A woman is the shepherd of the house of her husband and she is responsible. Each of you is a shepherd and each is responsible for his flock.”
The Prophet (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) [Sahih Muslim, Book 2, no. 0432)]
Beautiful Lessons from the marriage Ali and Fatima
✓ The Prophet ﷺ chose Ali رضي الله عنه though he could have easily chosen a wealthy Sahabi. It is as if, when considering the well-being of his daughter, the ‘rizq’ and ‘comfort’ part was not a factor.
I am not suggesting it is wrong to consider wealth, but they do not appear to be the Prophet’s priorities. Similarly, Abu Bakr As-Siddeeq رضي الله عنه who was wealthy in his own right chose Zubair ibn Al-Awwam for his daughter Asma.
✓ The Prophet ﷺ displayed the best example of Islamic teachings. "And marry the unmarried among you and the righteous among your male slaves and female slaves. If they should be poor, Allah will enrich them from His bounty, and Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing.” (Quran, 24:32)
In a hadeeth related by Al-Tirmidhi, the Prophet ﷺ said, “If there comes to you one with whose character and religious commitment you are pleased, then give (your daughter or female relative under your care) to him in marriage.” They said: “O Messenger of Allah, even if he falls short…” He replied repeating three times: “If there comes to you one with whose character and religious commitment you are pleased, then give (your daughter or female relative under your care) to him in marriage.”
✓ As leader of the state, the Prophet ﷺ spent money on the poorest of his people even though his own daughter was going through a lot of hardship. The Prophet ﷺ did not seem to think hardships were something bad for his daughter. He in fact taught her an act of worship that he said was better than having the comfort of a servant.
✓ Ali رضي الله عنه did not mind hard, laborious work to earn whatever provision he could.
✓ The community spirit of the Sahabah. They contributed to help them get married.
✓ Hope. The best of people went through difficulties. It is alright if you do not succeed in this worldly rat race. You are not in bad company. Ali رضي الله عنه went on to become the fourth Righteous Khalifa who ruled over vast Muslim lands with integrity, honesty and wisdom.
✓ The best of all is the value of adversity. You stand a better chance of getting a caring father-in-law and a devoted wife like Fatimah رضي الله عنها in times of adversity than in times of prosperity
A little boy looks at his mum at a wedding and says, “Mummy, why is the girl dressed all in white?”
His mum answers, “The girls is called a bride and she is in white because she’s very happy and this is the happiest day of her life.”
The boy nods and then says, “OK, and why is the boy all in black?”
-----------------------------
A husband and wife were golfing when suddenly the wife asked, "Honey, if I died would you get married again?" The husband said, "No sweetie." The woman said, "I'm sure you would." So the man said, "Okay, I would" Then the woman asked, "Would you let her sleep in our bed?" And the man replied, "Ya, I guess so." Then the wife asked, "Would you let her use my golf clubs?" And the husband replied, "No, she's left handed."

This thread is meant to encourage people to get married, you're putting all the brothers off.

Just doing some balancing. Both sides of marriage must be mentioned, isn't it?
It's not to discourage anyone. Definitely not. Nikaah is very important in Islaam. That it is Sunnah is sufficient as a reason for every person to get married.
Don't worry.. Aadam عليه السلام was in Jannah, yet he yearned for a companion.. Imagine in Dunya-how much they need us
There's that old punctuation joke about the professor who wrote on the chalkboard in class, "A woman without her man is nothing" and asked the students to punctuate it. The men wrote: "A woman, without her man, is nothing." The women of course wrote: "A woman: without her, man is nothing."
It's true both ways. Each one is completing the other.

True. The coming together of a man and woman is like a partnership. Both their contributions are important. What you put in is what you will get out. But also, if one doesn't do their share then both will lose out.
The beauty of marriage lies in that, it is so different from the blood-relations you have with your siblings or parents or children.
It's two people who choose to stay together and work together purely for the sake of Allah swt and themselves, that's why they say it's 'half your deen'. It completes the deen of both the husband and wife as long as they fulfill one another's rights and responsibilities.
I remember once a speaker was saying that Allah swt created a husband and wife relationship first for a reason, because of how sacred and important it is. And that's why a pious and righteous spouse is one of the greatest blessings and provisions you can get.
