Thanx Bilal for sharing. This is a real way to help guide marriages and keep families together. Much of the work for a healthy marriage could be done at the front end. That will sve a visit by Shaytaa and put him/her out of business for good for Allah sakes. Two idiots ought not get married to one another. Plus marriages ought never be arranged by anyone other than the two to be wedded. The best thing friends and family can do is to introduce the prospective grooms and facilitate their courting and then allow the two birds to get hitched as and when they desire. A pre-nuptual should be considered when either perceives trifle motivation for marriage. On the other hand, and for those who only desire procreation, marriage is illadvised for you. You can raise the children together and take care of each other without the contract of marriage. This part is for those humans who have attained a more mature station in life. And there is no hell or heaven. There is Amagideon though when we do not take care of our planet. No other planet can sustain human life as well as Earth ws able to and I'm not sure we will be welcome by dwellers of other planets. Taking care of our planet includes recognizing each other as equal residents and nurturing the weaker among us. It is that recognition/consideration matrix that encompasses marital relations. When you are married, each individual still retains their human rights. The marriage does not re-define that. The miscellaneous aspects of a mar riage such as how family income is earned, possessions and comforts yielded, and the education, health, discipline, and religion of the family, are to be negotiated with your fundamental humanrights in mind. It is preferable for the two spouses to come from similar cultural and religious background but it is not a necessity. This commonality only helps to expedite the negotiation process but does not substitute for it. DO not marry someone ONLY because they look beautiful or handsome. Do not marry someone  ONLY because they are financially well off. Do not marry someone ONLY because you share the same cultural and religious heritage. Do not marry somene ONLY because you share national origin with them. Do not marry anyone ONLY because you admire something they have. Marriage is to raise a family, with or without children. That means if you marry someone, and through no fault of your own or your partner, you cannot bear children, you must not terminate or annul the marriage. You can adopt orphans or for those of you whose religion accomodates it, you may add another marital partner but ONLY upon mutual agreement. SHort of this mutual agreement, adopting orphans is most advisable. It is highly advisable should you yield mutual consent, to add a widower who as lost her husband to death, accidental or suicidal. It is ill-advised to marry a widower CONVICTED of murdering their spouse (male or female). I have devised a whole code for marriage called Haruna's codes for marriage and I shall shar e them with anyone who desires, au gratis. I am not married yet myself. I desire to but with deligence and sobriety. I have children and have adopted orphans without requiring them transfer fatherhood to me. I think that is most aggregious. Allez. Haruna. Thanx again Bilal for sharing the Hadiths. They help my further discernment in matters of social accord. When you are able, and if there is any, could you share a Hadith or two about harnessing the environment to yield valuable product. Much obliged. MQJGDT. AL Mu'Umin. -----Original Message----- From: Edi Jah <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Thu, Jun 18, 2009 7:55 am Subject: Fwd: Daily Hadith - Marital Discord Pleases Shaytaan Most Marital Discord Pleases Shaytaan Most he Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam) said that haytaan sits on his throne daily and dispatches his agents to work mong human beings. One of the agents returns and says that I made a ertain person commit a sin, another says I got so and so involved in his offence. Upon listening to all this, Shaytaan says that you have one nothing great. Eventually, one representative comes and says that saw a husband and wife extremely devoted to each other. I sowed the eeds of enmity between them. On hearing this, Shaytaan becomes happy nd embracing his agent says that you have indeed achieved something reat. [Mishkat] The love between a husband and wife is the biggest blow to Shaytaan. rom this it is apparent how meritorious this love is. The Islamic rescription for success in married life is based on taqwa, fear, ove, and consciousness of Allah. Taqwa -- the basis for all aspects f Islamic life -- is especially relevant to the household. That is hy Sura Nisa, which contains many commands regarding the rights and esponsibilities of spouses, begins with repeated reminders of taqwa. To fight Shaytaan, one needs Allah's help and it comes with taqwa, .e. living with the awareness that Allah is watching us and will hold s accountable for our actions. A direct and far reaching consequence f this awareness is that a fight for rights is replaced by a concern or responsibilities. One's responsibilities are other's rights. A uslim husband and wife will be concerned with discharging their uties toward each other. This provides for a home that is a model of eace, love and harmony. ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ o unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web nterface t: http://listserv.icors.org/archives/gambia-l.html To Search in the Gambia-L archives, go to: http://listserv.icors.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ICORS.EXE?S1=gambia-l o contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://listserv.icors.org/archives/gambia-l.html To Search in the Gambia-L archives, go to: http://listserv.icors.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ICORS.EXE?S1=gambia-l To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
