Marriage Is a Selection And Choice:01

 



Islam has established basis and rules for both the suitor and fiancé. If they followed and took them as guidelines, the marriage would be so successful and flourishing, and the family would be so faithful, moral, and secure.


Marriage can be a choice based on religion. By 'religion', we mean sound understanding of Islam, practical application of all its rulings and manners, and full commitment to the shariah's methods and principles.


If both the suitor and fiancé are up to such a standard of understanding, application, and commitment, we describe them as 'religious and well mannered'.


That is why the prophet (PBUH) guided marriage seekers to look for the 'religious girl'.


Al Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawid, An Nasai and Ibn Majah related that Abu Hurairah, said that the prophet (PBUH) said: It is axiomatic that woman is sought for marriage for four reasons; her wealth, her noble birth, her beauty, and her religion. So, get the religious one and strife for getting her.


In accordance with this, the prophet (PBUH) guided the girl's family to look for(seek) the religious and well- mannered suitor.


At Tirmidhiy related that Abu Hatim Al Mazni said that the prophet (PBUH) said; If you were approached by that whose religion and manners satisfy you, let him marry (your daughter), in case you do not do that, there will be dissension in the earth and great corruption.


Is there any greater dissension inflicted upon religion and morals than a faithful girl falling in libertinistic suitor's hands, or an atheistic husband who bears no respect for honour or jealousy?


Is there any greater dissension related to a righteous woman than falling under the matrimonial authority of an immoral, libertine husband, who forces her to abandon the veil and to mix with men, and compels her to drink wine and dance with men?


So many a girl unfortunately, was examplary, at her family's house, as to chastity and purity, but when she moved to a libertine house, and a licentious husband, she turned into an unrestrained and careless woman, who bears no value whatsoever to the principles of morality, or the concepts of chastity and honour.


No doubt that when children grow up in such a sinful home, they will acquire perversity, and libertinism, and will be fed corruption and maleficence.


So, a choice based on religion and morals is the most important factor for achieving happiness to the spouses, virtuous Islamic breeding to the children, and good rank and stability to the family.

Challenges Faced by Community Health Practitioners

Community health practitioners face various challenges in fulfilling their roles effectively, including resource constraints and training needs. One of the primary challenges is the lack of adequate funding and resources for healthcare facilities in many communities.
