Blessings of a happy marriage

 

Marriage is an important occasion of happiness in human life.

According to Islamic teachings, marriage is not just a social affair and a family affair but a great act of worship that has many benefits for religion and the world. If this marriage is in accordance with the Sunnah, then the society becomes the cause of innumerable blessings. On the contrary, the rituals that are performed in the name of marriage and engagement nowadays must be abandoned, as well as the usual extravagance and mixed barat must be abandoned. The epidemic of other superstitions that is spreading in wedding parties these days is absolutely illegitimate and the cause of the destruction of society.

The Sahabah used to perform nikah very simply at the house of Rizwan Alayhim Ajmeen. He said, "Whoever has something to eat, bring it." Then all the people sat down together and ate the things they had gathered. These were the common things that the Companions of Rizwan Alayhim Ajmeen had brought with them. (With reference to the biography of Mustafa)

Marriage according to Sunnah brings blessings in life, satisfaction and love grows in the heart of new couple, new relationship. Today we are far from Islamic teachings. Others have adopted the same methods and customs. The real thing in marriage is acceptance. At the time of leave after marriage, special care should be taken to keep the veil separate for women and men. There is nothing wrong with inviting your special people to the marriage ceremony, and the wisdom is that there should be gathering in the marriage but not exaggeration.

Wilayah is also Sunnah. It is Sunnah to perform Wilayama according to one's ability and to invite one's relatives and friends. It is permissible to wear new clothes and celebrate at the wedding as much as possible. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The most blessed is the marriage which has the least expense.” (Musnad Ahmad)

It is necessary to fix the seal, which is fixed by mutual consent of both the parties. It is not right to demand dowry from girls. The bride has to look her best during this time, because of posterity more than anything else. Avoid wasteful spending on marriage. Burdening each other is against the teachings of Islam.

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Marriage is my Sunnah.” If considered, the solution to our problems and difficulties lies in following the Sunnah.

Hazrat Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that after Isha, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to speak and condemn. (Musnad Ahmad)

Muslim time is very precious. Wedding invitations run late into the night which is a waste of time. Make these invitations common in the afternoon so that you can go to bed immediately after Isha.

In this age of tribulation, following the Sunnah is the only way to peace and salvation. The solution to all our problems lies in following the Sunnah of the Prophet. May Allah bless us to follow the Sunnah of the Prophet. Amen
