Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la, God Almighty said
and described
the institution of marriage.
And He called it one of His signs.
And He said in the Surah which is called Ar-Rum in the Qur'an Al-Karib
وَمِنْ آيَتِهِ أَنْ خَلَقَ لَكُمْ مِنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَاجًا
لِتَسْكُنُوا إِلَيْهَا
وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَكُمْ مَوَدَّةً وَرَحْمَةً
إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةٍ لِقَوْمِهِمْ
يَتَفَكَّرُونَ
He said which means
that from among our signs
is that we have created
for you mates
from amongst yourselves
so that you may find tranquility with them
and we have placed
between the two of them
مَوَدَّةً وَرَحْمَةً
love and mercy.
In this there are signs for people who reflect.
Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala,
God Almighty,
called the marriage one of His signs
and He described three qualities of a marriage.
The first quality is that marriage is a sign of love.
The second quality is that marriage is a sign of love.
The third quality is that marriage is a sign of love.
The fourth quality is that marriage is a sign of love.
The sixth quality that He described was
السقون
السقون is tranquility.
سقون is the absence of movement
away from the spouse.
سقون is where
when the marriage has taken place
the spouses, each of them is saying to the other,
سقون is where when the marriage has taken place,
the spouses, each of them is saying to the other,
So, this is an example of peace.
the other that in this world for me you are the only one.
The eyes, the ears, the attention, the heart, everything of the spouse will not move away
from the other.
That is Sukhom.
Sukhom is tranquility in the marriage home.
To create a home together which is a place of tranquility, a place of harmony, a place
of peace, a safe harbor into which the ship that goes out into the oceans and which contends
with hostile waves and winds can come back in safety into the harbor.
That is the marriage home.
The marriage home is the home of the spouse.
The marriage home is not a boxing ring.
The marriage home is not a place for each one to show their superiority over the other.
The marriage home is not something where every morning a fight starts and you have to show
physically or mentally or emotionally who is boss.
That's not a marriage home.
A marriage home is a place which does not have conflict in it and where conflicts are resolved.
The second quality that Allah SWT,
God Almighty mentioned is the quality of love.
Love comes out of respect.
Love comes when you appreciate the other person.
Love is different from physical, sexual desire.
That does not require love.
Love is more than that.
Love comes out of a sense of togetherness that this person is my responsibility.
I take responsibility for her and she is taking responsibility for you.
And so I care for you.
And this love is shown in many, many different ways.
It is shown by the giving of gifts.
Not necessarily on this particular day, although you better remember that if you know what's good for you.
But throughout the year.
On the day of the marriage,
you must know what's good for you.
You just need to know that you are the reason.
It's not about the reason.
You are the reason.
You are the reason.
You are the reason.
You are the reason.
Why did you bring this for me?
Because you are you.
