Re: Strictness?
I’m surprised some of you are able to question the perfection of the words of Allah (swt) and the Prophet Muhammad (saw). What’s the risk that’s so big? Marriage is a must, according to Islam, and the purpose of marriage simply isn’t so that you just marry someone you’ve developed feelings for. The Prophet (saw) blindly married widowed women with children to support them, and the story of Hazrat Aisha, with whom the Prophet (saw) married all for reasons beyond mere intimate love.
But what is this risk you guys are afraid of? Are you afraid that you’re going to commit yourself and miss out on all the other worldly pleasures? Dating? Clubbing? I am not saying to marry any desperate fool, but if you find a man close to Allah (swt) in heart then you will not have those same problems as you would with anyone else.
Marriage completes the soul. Subhan’Allah you should be welcoming any challenges it brings forward.
