So look – may Allaah have mercy on you – at this hadeeth which illustrates therein a very high wisdom from the lips of the one who has been given concise, eloquent speech that contains much profound meaning. For indeed herein he summed up the conditions for a happy martial life:
1. The first one is that the woman is attractive in the eyes of the husband
2. She willingly fulfills his requests and does what he wants; and this is the sign of true love
3. He trusts her and she trusts him. Hence if he is absent for a long or short period, he will be rest assured that she will safeguard her honor and integrity, and ensure that his wealth is not wasted
Without these conditions neither of the spouses can ever be happy. And the Europeans have claimed to have attained the pinnacle of marital bliss because they allow the fiancé to interact with his fiancée before the marriage in a manner that is very disturbing. It is quite possible for this relationship to continue like this for years whereby they are ‘still getting to know each other,’ to get to learn the other person’s behavioral traits and personality so that they can be more compatible with each other in order to make the relationship more lasting. They know however that this is a big farce. Because neither of the spouses trust the other – as far as being faithful to each other, or being honest with their money. Because the husband cannot tell his wife to do anything because obedience is not an obligation for them. Hence they are like two business or trade partners. And this illustrates the fallacy of the stipulation which is that they must ‘be in love’ lehenik.
As for the argument that supports unrestricted interaction before the marriage contract, (this is also a fallacy) because they do not really get to know the true character of the other companion because each of them ‘puts on an act’ for the other, and feign signs of adulation for fear that the engagement will be called off. And almost none of them reveals his/her true character until they get married. And there are many incidents like this that proves this to be true. For indeed this happened in Germany in the city of Bonn wherein a man who was engaged to his fiancée for 20 urteak, and they lived together as a man would live with his wife. However when they married the marriage did not last but one year; all of it being disagreements, bickering, and argumentation, eventually ending in divorce.”

Shaykh Hammaad al-Ansaaree said about him, “In reality I have met anyone who has more knowledge in so many various subjects other than Dr. al-Hilali. Forty five years have passed and I have never seen anyone like him. He was fluent in languages such as Hebrew, German, gaitzaren gaitzespena erakustea eta eskuz edo mihiarekin aldatzen saiatzea, berriz, betebehar loteslea baino ez da hori egiteko gai diren musulmanentzat., Spanish, in addition to being a scholar in Arabic. He is my shaykh for I benefit from him greatly. He was salafi in his aqeedah, and if you read his book about at-Tawheed you would know that no one knows at-Tawheed in the Qur’an like him.”

Agurrak,
i totally agree with this piece. We now folow steps of the westerners who claim to be civilized forgetting that there’s no civilization as islam.
Really fatima? Do you live in the West? If you do, then why is Islam better?
In the West women are equal to men.
“Because the husband cannot tell his wife to do anything because OBEDIENCE is not an obligation for them.”
I agree with this whole-heartedly. Why would they need to prove their love with “trial period” physically/emotionally/spiritually?
Because the Westernized people (I’m referring to anyone who is westernized) do not have trust towards each other. That is why they device a system of “getting to know each other for a period of time”.
Muslims all around the world do not need this kind of relationship machinery. We trust each other, as much as a man would trust his sister 🙂
Keep on writing, dude/sis. gogoko dut. Will be this website’s regular visitor.
You trust men?
Did you know that Pakistan has more downloading of pornography than any other country on earth. Some in Pakistan is watching it. Do you still trust your husband?
we muslims are totally lost by what the westrens are doin,may Allah jst protect us now and 4eva
Then why do you live in the West and not a Muslim country?
I believe that point one and two also needs to be both ways you can have a blissful marriage if the wife does not find the hsuband attractive or if the guy does not fullfill his wife request i.e. a marriage works two ways if its one way one person will always be unhappy
1. The first one is that the woman is attractive in the eyes of the husband
2. She willingly fulfills his requests and does what he wants; and this is the sign of true love
3. He trusts her and she trusts him. Hence if he is absent for a long or short period, he will be rest assured that she will safeguard her honor and integrity, and ensure that his wealth is not wasted
“She willingly fulfills his requests and does what he wants; and this is the sign of true love”
This is not love. This is slavery. Women are entitled to be treated as equals, not merely servants.
