Marriage and its excellence



Muslimah.tk

1. Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said,"O Assembly of youth,
Whosoever of you who possesses the necessary means (for nikah/marriage),
then he should marry, for verily this is most protective for the eyesight
and chastity for the private part. Whosoever does not possess the means then
he should fast because this will aid him in curbing his desires." (Mishkaat.
page267)

2. Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, "When a servant of Allah
Ta'ala marries then he has completed half of deen (faith)." (Mishkaat. page
268)

3. Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said,"A women is (generally)
married for one of four reasons, her wealth, her family, her beauty or her
deen, so attain success by giving preferance to deen, may your hands become
dusty."(an arabic expression of encouragement or amazement ) (Mishkaat page
267)


Commentary: Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, The best of you is
he who is good to his family (Mishkaat). The institution of marriage in
Islam is given a very lofty status by Shariah and plays an integral role in
constructing a sound and healthy society. The coming together of two
individuals via the act of Nikah brings about a new dimension and outlook to
the lived of both husband and wife. In order for this relationship to be
productive and successful a definite decision of co-operation and
consideration needs to be made from both sides. An atmosphere of giving and
taking needs to be created and at times one will have to forego his or her
rights, and sometimes go the exttra mile to fulfil the right of ones spouse.
Allah Ta'ala has placed the man as a care-giver and guardian over the woman.
Therefore the man's attitude and actions can have a crucial impact in
maintaining a harmonious  marriage.
