Marriage Is a Selection And Choice:04




We thank Allah for the journey through our themed series. 


Among the instructions of Islam for selecting a wife is to be prolific, to achieve the purpose of marriage, i.e having children, preserving the human race, and inhabiting the universe.


One of the women's (merits) is to bear children, and that is why the prophet (PBUH) preferred Khadijah (Allah Be Pleased with her) to his other wives. So, he mentioned that 'she gave him children while others did not' as inter alia- a privilege of hers.


The prophet (PBUH) admonished not to marry barren women however beautiful they might be they might be. Abu Dawud, and An Nasai related that Maqil ibn Yasar said that a man came to the prophet (PBUH) and said to him 'I loved a well -bred and beautiful woman, but she is barren. Shall I marry her? The prophet said (No). The man came a second time and the prophet said (No). When he came the third time, the prophet said to him; marry the nice and prolific woman, as I shall take pride in your abundance.


The points addressed in this series are important principles of marriage as it satisfies the human needs, suits the desires of life, attributes the children to their parents, frees the society from libertinism and fatal diseases, achieves cooperation between spouses, and gets the sentiment for parenthood burning.


Marriage in Islam is based on strong foundations, and sound rules relating to the selection of a spouse; the most important of which is religion, noble birth, and awareness of the spouse's rights. 


The very beginning of of bringing up children in Islam stems from an ideal marriage built on selecting the righteous wife. By doing so, the Muslim family is formed, and the faithful generation, and righteous progeny are raised.
