It is desirable for the husband and wife to pray 2 rakaat together on their wedding night.This has been narrated from the earliest generation of Muslims, as in the following 2 narrations:
First:
On the authority of Abu Sa'eed Mawla Abu Asyad who said: "I got married while I
was a slave. I invited a number of the companions of the Prophet, among them was Ibn Mas'ood, Abu Dharr and Hudhaifa. When the prayer was called, Abu Dharr began to step forward when the others said to him: 'No!' He said: 'Is it so?' And they said: 'Yes.' Then, I stepped forward and led the prayer though I was a slave possessed.
They taught me, saying: 'When your wife comes to you, pray 2 rakaat. Then, ask Allaah for the good ofthat which has come to you, and seek refuge in Him from its evil. Then it is up to youand it is up to your wife.'" [Ibn Abi Shaibah and 'Abdur-Razzaaq]
Second:
On the authority of Shaqeeq who said: "A man named Abu Hareez came and
said: 'I have married a young girl, and I am afraid that she will despise me.'
'Abdullah ibn Mas'ood said to him: "Verily, closeness is from Allaah, and hatred is from Shaitaan,who wishes to make despicable that which Allaah has allowed. So, when your wifecomes to you, tell her to pray behind you 2 rakaat.'"
In another version of the same story, "'Abdullah went on to say: 'And say: 'O Allah give Your blessings on me in my wife,and to her in me. O Allaah join us together as long as You join us in good, and split usapart if You send to us that which is better.'" [Ibn Abi Shaibah and at-Tabaraani and 'Abdur-Razzaaq: Saheeh].
St. Paul (also known as Saul, born in Tarsus on 4 C.E.; died in 64 C.E.), who is considered to be the founder of Christianity, himself suffered failure in his love. During his youth when St. Paul was a Jew, he fell in love with a woman named Popea, the daughter of the high priest of Jews. She possessed haunting beauty. She liked Paul but then she rejected his offers of marriage and went to Rome as an actress. She started her career on the stage and, while climbing the ladder step by step, she reached the Roman emperor who finally married her. Popea became the Empress of the Roman Empire. Paul’s conversion to Christianity occurred right after his being rejected by Popea.
“Satan threatens you with poverty and orders you to commit immoral and shameless acts (fahshaa), whereas Allah promises you Forgiveness from Himself and Bounty.” (Surah Al-Baqarah: verse 268)
It is little wonder that festivals like Valentine’s Day have resulted in increased corruptions in societies. For instance, journalist Amelia Wasserman noted that more married men and women have started to cheat in their marital relationships after the advent of festivals like Valentine’s Day, resulting in increased cases of adultery and dumping of the marital partner. Wasserman wrote:
Reasons For Supplication's Acceptance and Rejection
There are some reasons which cause the supplication to be accepted by Allah (SWI'). They are: Repentance to Allah (SWT): The almighty Allah (SWT) said - I said (to them): Ask forgiveness from your Lord, Verily, He is Oft-Forgiving; He will send rain to you in abundance; And give you increase in wealth and children, and bestow on you gardens and bestow on you rivers.

Care For Early Infancy and The Right of The Child to Live in Health and Happiness
Islam’s attention to preserving the life and health of the child amounts to attending to the strength of the Muslims as a whole. This is how able-bodied and healthy individuals who are full of life and activity are raised. A healthy body not only contributes to the soundness of one’s thinking, but also makes it possible for the individual to interact with life and fellow humans. Islam has provided rules for the Muslim individual and a well-organized scheme of life to prevent ill health. Second to Islam itself, good health is the best bounty Allah may bestow upon any person. A Muslim simply cannot act properly and perform his duties towards his Lord without good health. Al-Tirmidhi reported on the authority of Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet, Peace Be Upon Him, said: “Of all the bounties bestowed upon him, the first thing the servant of Allah will be asked about on the Day of Judgment is that it will be said to him (by Allah) did I not give you a healthy body.“ MORE:https://www.aminullah.org/2021/04/Ca...Happiness.html URL:https://www.aminullah.org/
Her name was Barrah, so the Messenger of Allah (SAW) changed it to Maymoonah.
Maymoonah (RA) was not the only lady who accepted Islam and whose name was Barrah and the Messenger of Allah (SAW) changed her name. There are many other women whom the Prophet (PBUH) gave other names. An example is Zaynab bint Jahsh, another mother of the faithful. Her name was also Barrah, so the Messenger of Allah (SAW) changed it to Zaynab. MORE:https://www.aminullah.org/2021/04/ma...-faithful.html
Re: Reasons For Supplication's Acceptance and Rejection
I agree with iammuslim98. The article (if one were to call it that) makes one wonder what the author means to express. I believe that if one is to make a supplication one should also request that it be granted if it is good and right and will not harm anyone else. Leave the rest to Allah. He knows best. Have faith, real faith, and a clean mind
Experience tells us that love and committed relationships are built over time, through mutual care and understanding. It does not happen in a few interactions. On the other hand, lust can begin and end in an instant. Love is long-lasting whereas lust is temporary. Love is patient whereas lust is impatient.
The idea of “love marriage” and “love at first sight” is promoted on TV dramas, movies, songs, social media and Internet. However, real love does not happen, most of the times, at first sight. First sightings are merely for the eye CONTINUE:https://www.aminullah.org/2021/04/Lu...rst-Sight.html
The true Muslim woman avoids mixing with men as much as possible; she does not pursue it or encourage it. Thus she follows the example of Fatimah, the daughter of the Prophet (PBUH), the
Prophet's wives, the women of the salaf (the Sahabah and Tabi`in), and those who followed their way sincerely.
The harm that may be done to both sexes as a result of free mixing, that is obvious to the Muslim woman, is now becoming clear to Westerners who have practiced free mixing on the widest scale CONTINUE:https://www.aminullah.org/2021/04/Mu...-With-Men.html

Parents’ Responsibility to Preserve the Life, Health and Growth of Their Child
The Islamic Sharia entrusts parents with the responsibility of preserving the life and health of their child, and providing care as he or she grows. The child is entrusted to the parents, who will be called to account by the Almighty, Who will question them about this trust. The child simply cannot take care of or protect him or herself; he or she lacks the ability to do so. Care and protection are the parents’ responsibility. Early in life, a child simply does not comprehend real danger. Parents have a duty to protect their youngsters from sickness and preserve them from dangers that may threaten their lives and impede their growth. Under the joint responsibility of the husband and wife, parents have the obligation to take charge of all the affairs of their child, to guide the child, provide appropriate nutrition, and preserve or protect him or her from whatever sickness or disease causes harm. Islam warns us against neglecting the need to provide our children with medical treatment or with preventive measures against fatal diseases or other illnesses. Islam prefers a strong believer to a weak one MORE:https://www.aminullah.org/2021/04/Pa...eir-Child.html URL:https://www.aminullah.org
Foods of the Prophet: Fruits & Vegetables of the Prophet
Modern Muslims often turn to books and magazines to find out what foods will make them healthy, however, the Qur’an and Hadith have provided the Islamic community with many ideas of foods that should be included in the ideal diet.
The Qur’an mentions many fruits and vegetables as well as meat, milk and many spices among the foods Muslims can enjoy and thrive on. Among some of the fruits and vegetables mentioned in the Qur’an and Hadith are melons, grapes, citrus, squash, figs and dates FULL ARTICLE:https://www.aminullah.org/2021/04/Fo...f-Prophet.html
Marriage is not a bed of roses. Or, at least, if you wish to look at it in such terms, it is a bed of roses with plenty of thorns in it. This article is an attempt to shed some light on what makes so many marriages go wrong, so that hopefully, you who are starting out can avoid a few of the pitfalls. The true Muslim is conscious of God at every moment of the day, during every event of life. And He is present with us not only during the grand times, when we are in the limelight, and are patted on the back when we are successful, but also in those far more frequent times when we are slogging away, coping with boredom and frustration at work or at home, and putting up with things we do not really like. He does not only see the things that are done in public, but as al-Basir, the All-Seeing, beholds even the tiniest things that are done behind closed doors FULL POST:https://www.aminullah.org/2021/05/cr...in-heaven.html
well..i dont wanna be that guy but i dont understand the point of putting such pictures? Like i opened the article and the first thing i saw was a picture of a woman in hijab and full make up showing a little of her hair being happy with her husband maybe?..i mean there are many men and women who wanna get married or have body issues or poor and these pictures hurt them even if for a little.They give the wrong idea of marriage.I would have read that article but this and other pictures i saw in the site of hijabis in make up turned me off a lot.Your choice though,just saying cuz it took my attention
Thanks for sharing, I thought it was a helpful way to look at marriage, I liked this quote -
If your main aim in marriage is to please your partner, then you could be heading for disappointment and distress, for human beings are odd creatures with fickle moods and fancies. Many disappointed husbands and wives know that no matter what they do or how hard they try, the partner is never pleased. In fact, quite often the more they do to try to earn that approval, the more it irritates the partner and the less likely they are to get it. Human nature can be that perverse.
However, if your main aim is to please Allah, then you will hopefully be able to withstand any `bad patches', maintain your loving relationship with sympathy and patience, and remain confident that He Who sees all will understand everything that comes to pass.
May Allah bless you on your journey.

You will never look into the eyes of anyone who does not matter to God.

"Rabana atina men ladunka rahamah wa haia lana men amrina rashada". (Our Lord, bestow on us mercy from Yourself, and facilitate for us our affair in the right way). [18:10]

Selected Supplications from Sunnah
The Prophet (SAW) Said "The best supplication for seeking forgiveness is to say "Allahuma anta Rabi la ilaha illa anta, khalaqtani wa ana abduka, wa ana ala ahdika wa wa'dika mastata'tu A udhu bika min sharri rna sana'tu, abu'u laka bini'matika alaiya, wa abu'u bidhanbi faghfirli fa innahu la yaghfiru adh-dhunuba illa anta." (0 Allah you are my Lord! None has the right to be worshipped but you. You created me and I am your slave, and I am faithful to my covenant and my promise as much as I can. I seek refuge with You from all the evil I have done. I acknowledge before You all the blessings You have bestowed upon me, and I confess to You all my sins. So I entreat You to forgive my sins, for nobody can forgive sins except You) The Prophet (SAW) added "If somebody recites it during the day with firm faith in it, and dies on the same day before evening he will be from the people of Paradise; and if somebody recites it at night with firm faith in it, and dies before morning, he will be from the people of Paradise."[Reported by AI Bukhari] MORE:https://www.aminullah.org/2021/05/Se...nd-Sunnah.html
She is the daughter of 'Umar ibn al-Khattab.
In Arabic language, Hafs is one of the names of the lion. The Messenger of Allah, would often address 'Umar as Aba Hafs.
There is a story for behind her entering the household of prophethood as a wife of the Messenger of Allah (SAW).
She was married to a man known as Hisn Ibn Hudhafah who witnessed the Battle of Badr and then fel1 ill at Madeenah and died.
Hafsah then became a widow.
It has been part of Arab culture, either in the age of ignorance or after the emergence of Islam, that a man makes efforts to marry off his daughter, sister or any woman in his guardianship without any inconvenience - to someone he believed was good and suitable MORE:https://www.aminullah.org/2021/05/ha...-faithful.html
