Marriage Is a Selection And Choice:02




Among the rules laid down by Islam for choosing a spouse, is to choose your spouse from a family known for their righteousness, morals, noble birth, and honour.


Ibn Majah, Al Hakim, and Al Bayhaqi related that Aisha (Allah Be Pleased with her) said that the prophet (PBUH) said: Choose for your sperms, and marry your equals, and let them marry your daughters.


This Hadith, and many others, directs the attention to the necessity of choosing the noble birth, so that the man can get moral, pious, and righteous children.


In accordance with this, Uthman ibn Abi Alas Al Thaqafi admonished his sons to select their wives, and avoid ill-bred families. He advised them saying; O sons, the man who seeks marriage is like one who seeds, so, everyone should see where he put his seeds, and it is quite rare to get noble offspring from the ill-bred, so, select your wives even if you had to wait for a while.


Such a selection, that the prophet (PBUH) has advised us of, is taken as one of the greatest scientific facts, and educational theories in modern times. Genetics proved that the child inherits his parent's moral, physical, and intellectual characteristics. So when the selection of a spouse is based on noble birth, honour, and righteousness, children grow up bearing these same qualities, and when a child combines inheriting righteous qualities and virtuous breeding, he attains the climax of religion, morals, and piety.


Finally, among the wise Islamic instructions regarding selecting a spouse, is preferring an alien woman to relatives(i.e Exogamy), for seeking intelligent children, assuring their safety from inherited diseases, expanding the family acquaintance, and strengthening social bonds.


Genetics has proved that endogamy weakens the offspring physically and mentally.

Challenges Faced by Community Health Practitioners
