Finding Mr. Right(eous): Prophet Muhammad (S) taught us not only to have a standard but also what that standard should be. “It is binding upon you to have a religious spouse,” he said. “A man who marries a person for the sake of her wealth, God leaves him in his own condition,” according to the Prophet (Sallalaho Alayhe wasalam). “One who marries her (only) for her beauty, will find in her things he dislikes (unpleasing manners). God will gather up all these things for one who marries her for the sake of her faith (religiousness) .” While religiousness is the most important criterion, we are also supposed to consider a prospective's good nature, compatibility, decent family, reasoning ability and physical and mental health. The Prophet’s (Sallalaho Alayhe wassalam ) daughter Fatima Zahra R. A. (one of the four perfect women) and her husband Ali revealedtheir basis for valuing one another in the following exchange. The day after their wedding, the Prophet (Sallalaho Alayhe wasalam) came to visit them and inquired of Ali: “How do you find your spouse?” “I found Zahra as the best help in worshipping God Almighty,” Ali R.A. replied. The Prophet asked Fatima R.A. the same question and she said: “He is the best husband.” For those single or married, poet Jalal ad-Din Rumi sums up our end goal beautifully: “Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourselves thatyou have built against it.” ★ [ DON,T FORGET TO SHARE ] ★
