✦ SEEK THE RIGHTEOUS ✦
☛ A Small Inspirational Story
Someone came to a father, asking him for the hand of his daughter in marriage: ”Sir, I am ready to pay her any Mahr she wants! I already have a house and a car… If you let me marry your daughter, I would treat her like a princess”
The father told him: “There is only one Mahr you can pay! For that, I will ask you one question, if you give me the right answer, I will let you marry my daughter… I won’t ask you to give my daughter wealth, house or high status; I want you just to give me the right answer for my question!”
The boy was so happy and he accepted the condition of the father.
The father looked straight into the eyes of the young man and asked: “In which time the Adhan of Fajr (call for the Fajr prayer) is called exactly?“
The young man’s face turned to red, then yellow, he replied after a long time thinking:” I guess it’s at 4 am? No… I mean 3 maybe?! Honestly Sir, I don’t know!”
“Dear son, ” said the father smiling: ”I don’t care about your high status or your bank account! My daughter is so precious, she is like a princess to me with her Hijab and purity so she needs someone who treats her like a queen! No one would make her happy more than a man who fears Allah and obeys Him. Only a righteous husband would give her an unlimited happiness by helping her to get closer to Allah”
☞ Allah Almighty Says in Holy Quran: “… Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted…” [Surah Al Hujurat 49:13].
☞ Allah Almighty Says in Holy Quran: “Good statements are for good people (or good women for good men) and good people for good statements (or good men for good women)”. [Surah An Nur 24:26].
☞ Narrated by Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “If somebody comes to you and you are pleased with his character and religion then marry him. If you do not, there will be discord on earth and widespread corruption.” [Sunan Ibn Majah, Vol. 3, Book 9, Hadith 1967].
This is the most important thing to look for in the man you want to marry. The husband should be a Muslim who adheres to all the laws and teachings of Islam in his daily life. The woman’s guardian (Wali) should strive to check out this matter and not rely only on outward appearances. One of the most important things to ask about is the man’s prayer/Salah; the one who neglects his obligatory duty Allah is more likely to neglect the rights of others. The true believer does not oppress or mistreat his wife; if he loves her, he honors her, and if he does not love her, he does not mistreat or humiliate her.
Allah Almighty Says in Holy Quran: “And a believing slave is better than a polytheist, even though he might please you. Those invite you to the Fire, but Allah invites to Paradise and to forgiveness, by His permission. And He makes clear His verses to the people that perhaps they may remember.” [Surah Al Baqarah, 2:221].
