I would never let my sister marry that man in the story...
The guy will be such a bore and his long winded speech sums it up....
First of all, I love my mom more than anything on this earth....if anyone asks me who I loved the most, It will be my MOM. Who thinks of Allah and Prophet Muhammed when someone asks this question.
2nd, I don't speak Arabic, but I have read the Quran in English and to me that is good enough to understand its meaning and she said she is willing to do it.
3rd...If someone called my sister not pretty enough...I will not let that person marry my sister....
Its apparent that this guy has never talked to a girl...good luck to anyone marrying such a bore
Im wondering How can u know a person just in one meeting!!
Those 3 questions can not be the standard questions to know sumone completely!...
And questions were the outcome of the guy's perception n thought process only!...

Some people sit in the Hujra of a masjid , in seclusion and have lot of time at their hands in between prayers. They come up with stories like these which have many weaknesses . Their intentions are good that they want to teach people to be pious, but since they have no formal training in writing fiction therefore their stories are not perfect and fail to deliver the real message across.
The problem is that because of these people many many people have been distanced from religion.
Loving the Prophet and ALLAH more than anyone else is a given plus I disagree with this

ALLAH and the Prophet are not a part of this world. They are something bigger than this world. It is divine. You cannot say love Allah and Prophet to the question who do you love more in this whole world? World usually refers to earth and because naozobillah both of them are not on earth you cannot answer with that. It should be a given, the love for Allah and Prophet in your heart.
If someone asks me who do I love the most on this world, then it is my mother. Akhir heaven lies underneath the feet of the mother right?! 3 times the mother and then the father right? Allah will forgive everything apart from if you do UFFF on your parents and do not listen to them right?! Allah SWT has himself elevated the status of the mother so why not say that we love the mother most on this world?
Oh and yeh a Quran Hafiz is saying that she loves her mother more than anything in this WORLD. Apart from that, Allah SWT and the love of the Prophet will always be there in me iA.
I'm nowhere near his level but I have a few standards which any potential spouse would have to meet. That and she would also have to able to tolerate my weaknesses and help me improve myself and vice versa.
Pretty much the norm today with religious youth who think they’re more righteous than others even though their standards of righteousness are narrow and often misguided.
Someone ought to tell this guy that even though his principles might be well-intentioned, his approach in life seems seriously flawed. He comes off as arrogant while boasting of his own virtuous standards in life. The following Ayah comes to mind (roughly remembered):
Do not turn your face away from men with pride, nor walk on this earth in insolence – verily Allah does not like arrogance.
(I’ll try to find the specific verse and citation)
The girl in the story seems like she’s genuine and honest, and meets many standards that he’s looking for at an outer level. Even if the guy thinks she has flaws, I’d much rather that this guy appreciate her honesty, and work on the perceived “weaknesses” gradually through example and model, rather than shunning her out. Alas, that’s what most of our religious community is like these days… abrupt and hasty in finding others’ flaws but without humility to accept their own failings.
2- Yes I know meaning to many small surrahs. I try to remember the meanings of different words and small ayats. saying this i may take a small quick test from him to see how much he himself knows about Quran ;)
3- this question can never make me angry. May be i ll tell him very calmly that okay if you think they are prettier and you want a pretty one, go ahead and marry one of them. Meinoon ki faraq painda hai :P
If he spoke to me I would be fast asleep within 10 minutes
