Forced marriages are not marriages supported by the noble laws of Allah Almighty and go against the law of common sense. In fact the Messenger SAW offered a daughter who was forced into a marriage the choice to validly opt for an annulment of the marriage contract. I sincerely urge all guardians to ‘do the right thing’ and never oppress a Muslim through force. Force has its negatives and a forced marriage has more. Do not jail your daughters and those you are responsible over- may Allah grant us the understanding and protect us from oppressing others and oppression. Ameen.
Is love more than just a feeling?
Umar (radi Allahu ‘anhu) said to a man who was thinking of divorcing his wife: “Why do you want to divorce her?” He said, “I do not love her.” ‘Umar (r) said, “Must every house be built on love? What about loyalty and appreciation?”
What do you understand from this?
If you fall down you will get hurt! So why fall in love? 😅. Do it the right way and GROW IN LOVE with your spouse. The best marriage is the one that has a spouse missing you and making dua for you long after you pass away. May Allah bless our marriages and our lives together with our spouses after marriage. Ameen.
Chatting to your parents who are abroad on the Whatsapp/Telegram family group chat is praiseworthy. However take note that it is more special to pick up the phone and speak to them in person. 😊
‘Both parties of a violent divorce must understand that the children are the ones who suffer the most. The last people who should be harming the children in the greatest way are their parents. If divorce is a must, then it must happen in an amicable manner. Parents should never use their children as bargaining chips or brainwash their children to go against their mother or father.
Sadly, I have seen this happen far too many times. We must understand that oppression has no room in religion.
Parents, especially, should be far from inflicting unfair pain and harm upon their children. Always remember that your issues with your husband or wife are not your innocent child’s issue or problem as well.
May Allah guide us and protect our children. Ameen.

Many people see marriage as the shiny black tux and silky white dress. They see the occasion and forget the reality. They forget that marriage is really about waking up the next day with the assumed role of being a husband and wife. Marriage is not for LIFE! But for a LIFETIME. Choose your spouse well and ensure that you marry with a picture of the home you would love to see the day you on your death bed in mind…
May Allah Almighty decree for us blissful marriages. Ameen.
The relationship between spouses must be based upon love and mercy. When the love begins to run a little dry; never forget there still should be mercy. Continue to have good thoughts in one another and continue to speak nicely to one another. May Allah bless our marriages. Ameen.

Our relationship with the Qur’an should be one based on deliberation. This way we are able to learn as much as possible about Allah. The more we learn about Allah the more we love Him. The more we love the better we worship Him.
Ponder over the first three aayaat of Surah alFaathah. They are dedicated towards teaching us about Allah. Once we learn about Allah; aayah number four is the result. Aayah number four entails our exclamation of our desire to worship one Allah and only seek assistance from Him.
The Qur’an is a book that does not just change minds, but also hearts. Ponder and deliberate O servant of Allah!
