Marriage is Not Just Lust

With all the talk about serial “stranger marriage” over the past couple of years I was really glad to see this post to attempt to clarify the issue of marriage. Sadly we see that even some of the students have a horrible understanding of this issue and engage in this practice and defend this

And the noble Sheikh said: Some of the Muslims have an incorrect understanding about marriage, understanding it in a way other than its reality. Some of them have an understanding that marriage is simply about fulfilling their desires, so although they might implement the legislated marriage contract, their intention with this marriage is not stability nor commitment rather he marries and in himself he is planning to divorce her, meaning he knows in himself that he will marry her for a specific time period even if he does not mention this or disclose this. 

So he marries her due to his desire for her not to have serenity and peace of mind with her, but he only counts her as just a simple pleasure; so hes always on the verge of divorcing her and bringing in someone other than her. So he is a husband and at the same time he mixes this with the intention of divorce. And he does not want from the woman anything other than pleasure. 

Back!

I am back after a long hiatus. I’ve been through a few personal things, but alhamdulillah I am back and things are somewhat back to normal. A lot has happened since I’ve been gone, but we will try to catch up.
