Alhamdulilah honestly we can’t thank Allah enough for a great blessing that He has bestowed upon his worshippers. This blessing is the worldly dream of nearly every person in the world.
“And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquility in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought.” The Holy Quran Chapter Al-Rum Verse 21.
As you may have already figured out this special blessing is marriage, the unity of the husband and the wife, in a halal way of course.
Getting married is one of the things every Muslim should look forward to. Not only is finding a spouse a worldly achievement it also completes one’s faith. The Prophet SAW said in a hadith “When a person gets married he has completed half of his religion, so let him fear Allah with regards to the other half.”
Nowadays, whenever the topic of marriage is brought up, a few things are questioned immediately such as I’m not ready for it yet, or simply I don’t know who to choose.
Let’s be honest here now, if you go up to a young man or lady and asked what do you look for in your spouse, there’s a big percentage they will say it straight up. Beauty. If she’s good looking mashallah or if he’s tall and handsome then I’m definitely accepting him.
Marriage is without a doubt a very issue in the religion of Islam
The Holy Quran says,“And marry those among you who are single and those who are fit among your male slaves and your female slaves; if they are needy, Allah will make them free from want out of His grace; and Allah is Ample-giving, Knowing.” (Surah an-Nur, 24:32)
This verse begins with the words Wa Ankehoo (And marry…). The imperative form of the word ‘nikah’ implies that either it is obligatory or highly recommended. According to scholars, though marriage is a highly recommended act, it becomes obligatory when there is a chance of falling into sin.
The Prophet, peace be upon him, says, “No house has been built in Islam more beloved in the sight of Allah than through marriage,” according to Wasail al-Shia volume 13 page 3.
And according to Mustadrakul Wasael by Muhaddith Noori , the Messenger of Allah says, “The best people of my nation (Ummah) are those who get married and have chosen their wives, and the worst people of my nation are those who have kept away from marriage and are passing their lives as bachelors.”
Now there are key factors which one should pay attention to or look for in selecting his/her spouse.
Now the first, many will not agree with, is religiousness.
When a man came to the Prophet (S) to seek guidance for selecting a spouse, he (S) said, “It is binding upon you to have a religious spouse.”
Knowing the human weakness for beauty and wealth, the Messenger of Allah (S) has forewarned, “A man who marries a woman for the sake of her wealth, Allah leaves him in his own condition, and one who marries her (only) for her beauty, will find in her (things) which he dislikes (unpleasing manners) and Allah will gather up all these things for one who marries her for the sake of her faith (religiousness).” This is according to Wasail al-Shia bro, I’m not just saying this.
The Messenger of Allah (S) has given great emphasis on taking into consideration a good family background when we intend to marry.
He says, “Look very carefully and minutely as to where you are placing your child because genes and hereditary qualities are transferred in a concealed and unintentional way and have their effect.”
Now one might, yo man just religion and piety might not cut it for me. I need her to be good looking too. Here’s where the Holy Prophet (S) says, “When one intends to marry a woman, he should ask about her hair, just as he asks about her face (beauty), since the hair is one of the two beauties (of women).”
