huh, not all jhoot bolna is fitrat, some of it is self preservation..
jhoot is many times critical at questions like
"do you think she is pretty"
"does my ass look big in these"
"do you like so- and so, i think she is a little fake"
etc.
But surely if your married to someone, she is your 'the one' she isyour world, she is your everything, someone you love the most, someone you truly find the prettiest, the most beautifulest person in the whole world, someone who you'd be in love with forever, someone who you'll be with in jannah...
so, how cud such a person look or even think about anyone else????????
A few days ago I commented on someones facbook note, and here's what my conception of marriage is, hence where wud the lying be:
[quote]
Marriage in Islam in the sacred relationship that allows two previously somewhat unrelated individuals to enjoy the company of one another....
I think that love is essential in marriage, marriage is not just a partnership, a business deal, an agreement where there is a division of labour and so on. It is about finding someone with whom you can share your dreams, with whom you can open your heart to, with whom you can develop a bond that is unlike anything else in the world...your spouse becoming your bestest of friends, your spouse becoming your closest of companions....it’s about having a relationship with someone who knows your deepest darkest feelings, your weightiest weaknesses and still they accept you, still they love you, still they pray for you. [think about how Khadija(ra) comforted our Nabi(saw) in his most doubtful time]
It’s about finding perfection in an imperfect world, having someone who makes you feel wonderful, makes you feel loved, makes you feel cherished, someone who treasures you more than anyone else in the world. Someone who you know prays for you, someone who you know will put you first, someone who you know will try their utmost to make you the happiest person in the world with everything they have.
*Some may think this is a bit over-romanticised, but I don’t think it is…as long as the individuals realise that the most love must be for Allah swt and our Nabi (saw)…… Of course your point about the attainment of Jannah through this is true....it is through this wonderful relationship that both the spouses will get closer to Allah swt working together, working and helping one another and invigorating each other through mutual cooperation and mistakes. *
