A Beautiful Poem on Marraige in Islam.

by Nisaar Y. Nadiadwala (Notes) on Saturday, August 28, 2010 at 6:34am 4. Marriage The blessed union of two souls Once far apart Now have similar goals Each one having rights on the other It makes you a wife or husband, A father or mother. Love and mercy Allah has put between your hearts To make you a happy pair from the very start. Allah has made for you mates of your kind To find tranquility in them And pleasure combined. Criteria for selection Is not richness or property The main element is taqwa, thats piety. And if you think you are poor, Dont shy away, Al Ghani will enrich you for sure. Obsession with wealth, Competing for the highest dowry Brings no result Other than misery. Marriage is important

So do not delay Its Allahs command Which we must obey. Therefore, marry the Muslim who is devout Follow this precious advice, Or you may lose out. Be assured, dear Muslim, That marriage is beautiful Its a blessing from Allah The beloved Prophets Sunnah. Nikah completes half your deen, With chastity and virtue It saves you from whats obscene. Now fear Allah as regards the other half Revere Him, thank and obey Him Its in your behalf.
