Let's talk about love

Let's talk about love. Real love. Let's face it, TV programmes whereby the pretty, blonde woman falls in love with the rich muscular guy and they live happily ever after aren't true. No. This is real love. A true story, a true love story.

Marriage is a test.
Marriage is an institution.
Marriage is a project.

You want a good partner, you want a quality partner, and that quality partner is a righteous spouse.

A man once went to work in the gulf countries. Before he went there he was very poor but, after many years, he became wealthy.
After the young man had accumulated all this wealth said to his father- a very righteous man who used to be an Imam, "My father, I want to get married. And I want you to choose a wife for me. I want you to choose her, do the marriage contract and I only want to see her on our wedding day" This is how much trust he held in his father

He chose a very religious woman for his son, but her physical appearance was not the best. The son arrived at the airport in Egypt, and he was taken to his wife who was wearing a veil.

After they married, they went back to their new home. As soon as she unveiled herself he became shocked, he became shocked!

This is the wife that my father chose for me? Shes not beautiful, shes not beautiful!
He became so depressed! The man was so angry, upset and confused. He just went to sleep.

Towards the last third of the night, the wife who understood the reaction of the husband, tried to wake him up, he refused, she tried again, he refused, and then she sprinkled water over him to wake him up, and then he woke up, and she spoke to him, "I know how disappointed you are, and I understand I'm not beautiful, but you know what, I wished to get married for one reason, I wanted to implement the Hadith of the Prophet when he said 'May Allah have mercy on a man who wakes up at night to pray and then he wakes up his wife, and if she does not wake up, he will sprinkle some water over her face, to wake her up. And may Allah have mercy on a woman who wakes up at night to pray and then she wakes up her husband, and if he does not wake up, she will sprinkle some water over his face, to wake him up.' And by Allah, I am so grateful to you that you granted me that wish, I wanted to implement that Hadith so much, and I was a little bit hopeless that I would not get married, because I am not beautiful.Can you please now fulfill the rest of this Hadith with me? Can you wake up and just lead me in salah, pray tahajjud with me?"

He woke up and led her in salah.

This man swears by Allah, that as soon as he ended his tahajjud, leading her in salah,I looked at her as if I am looking at the most beautiful woman in the world.

That's the way it goes, don't be deceived by all these soap opera's and movies, the love gets to the heart because of Allah, Allah can make you love your spouse, but you and your spouse obey Allah, lead your wives in salah, have your husbands make you lead you in salah.

This family, they have grandchildren who memorize the Quran, and they are students of knowledge, and some of them are about to become scholars of this ummah.

Don't compromise, nor test the commands of Allah.
