Marriage, a different view?
Ok, to set the record straight, I’m single, and I will stay single inshAllah until the day I get married. Obviously, this choice is motivated by religious reasons. As Muslims we are not allowed to have girlfriends and boyfriends for several religious reasons, but that’s not the main topic.
I was talking with a friend about this and I noticed I made a mistake in our conversation. I stated that I’d like to get married by the age of 24 or 25. The reality of the situation is that only Allah knows when I’ll get married, however, that age is just a personal preference. I urge my sisters and brothers to choose wisely! You don’t compromise when it comes to marriage; you consult Allah, yourself, and your close friends with personal experience.
Marriage isn’t some kind of irresponsible bond, but rather a partnership that should work at attaining similar goals, namely religious excellence, raising children, helping each other achieve your respective career goals, etc. If you can find the person that can help you do those things, then delaying such a bond is not only a poor choice, but could have adverse effects on one’s life. Your spouse is your other half of your religion, and finding that other half should be done with the utmost care and speed, so as to improve yourself in your life’s journey.
I shouldn’t specify an age, instead my reliance on Allah SWT should be sufficient. Don’t marry because he/she is beautiful, beauty fades away. Don’t marry because he/she is rich, money too fades away. Don’t marry because your parents think it best, parents are fickle from time to time. Marry because you feel that Allah SWT has something more in that relationship. in the end Allah knows best

اللهم ارزقها الذريه الصالحه و الزوجة صالحة
May Allah grant us righteous children and a righteous wife
Salam!
