    A problem.

    Report bad ads?

    Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
    I hope all of you are good in shaa Allah

    I just read and article and im just like what have we done to ourselves as a country and as Muslims

    http://magharebia.com/en_GB/articles...9/reportage-02 That's the article also read the comments of the people...

    We should make marriage so cheap so zina can become expensive why have we done the exact opposite ( I think there is a hadith saying that)

    It says the more the marriage costs the more generous you are in this case it would be said generous to shaytan because if it costs that much then it's like saying "face the fitanah bring us something of the dunya then you can care about The Aakhirah" Any advice/comments would be appreciated

    I feel that I will not get married in this country im dissapointed

    Re: A problem.

    It is going that way, isn't it?

    Keeping up with the Jones'. That is being wasteful and definitely won't be blessed by Allah. Many are guilty of this, my wedding was no small affair, and no doubt my children's won't be either....

    How do we reverse this?

    Re: A problem.

    Just read this in an article

    Algerian people believe that the more money you spend on a wedding the more the family will be proud and lucky. Our weddings are all about joy, emotion and a feeling of pride.
    Sarah, Algeria

    Well those believes are stupid you shouldn't feel proud... Ther is no such thing as literal luck it's more like blessings from Allah

    And Allah knows best

    How many times you have failed to get married because you couldn't afford to pay the wedding cost?

    Re: A problem.

    The article said about "keeping up with the Jones", meaning that people tend to compete with one another and do not want to appear to can't afford what others have.

    How do we reverse that? To let those who want to burden themselves do so without us having to follow them down the same route...

    tell them Islam is about modesty and we should only compete in good deeds And we must be humble and not compete with each other in terms of the dunya

    Marriage process in Indonesia actually is simple.

    First is "lamaran" (proposal) which the groom and his family come to the bride family to propose marriage officially. Then the groom family give gifts (not mahr) to the bride.

    Second is "nikah" (nikah). This is the Islamic process of getting married.

    The last is wedding party.

    But Indonesian people are indeed, extravagant in wedding party. They consider the simple and low cost wedding as something that can lower their prestige. They also always invite many guests.

    There is no culture or society that has no wedding tradition. Even remote tribes have wedding tradition too.

    Of course, you still can choose to get married without wedding party. But, I don't think your bride, her family, and your family will approve it.

    Mission Impossibmle (Allahu Alam) started find a brid and a family that don't nedd a wedding party.

    And it would be more simple to get married back in the days...

    And Allah knows best

    Edit: thats in The future I am not ready to get married right now and as you might already now I didn't crate this thread for myself for other people
