Is marriage right for me? What if it ends in divorce? What do I look for in a wife? In the first part of a 3-part series on divorce, Sh. Abdullah Oduro unpacks a particular Hadith about the four things a woman is married for with cohost Ust. Morad Awad and licensed marriage and family therapist Usman Mughni to uncover why people divorce, red flags to look out for, and some considerations before marriage.

Just because someone is young, it doesn't mean they don't understand life issues. Prophet Ibrahim was a child when he advised his father to stop making and worshipping idols. Allah guides whom he chooses and everyone should reflect on the information being shared. Even non Muslims can give good advice.

@@RR-gv2dj you missed the part where I said “do not have the life experience or qualifications to give advice.” If you do, great. If you don’t, it’s best to stay in your lane instead of unintentionally misguiding people with bad advice based on nothing - no life experience, no knowledge and definitely no qualifications.

All four factors are real, and as someone pointed out to me which I've always found to be true: the factors you compromise on WILL bite later, so you need to prepare yourself for that test (nobody is perfect so you will be "rating" all the factors, as they say in the video). No factor should be given zero importance, but the religiosity of a person encompasses their substance the most. Life throws things at you which you could never foresee, but if you can feel secure about the core of a person's beliefs, priorities and ethics, you know that inshallah you won't differ very much on how to understand or deal with any trial that comes up. (Sometimes even if the trial is realising you need to divorce and going through with it honourably)

I enjoyed this video immensely. As an educated lady, who has worked odd jobs several times to keep the money flowing, I always assumed that is was SOP to do what's necessary to make money. However, this video brought up a good point that not everyone has that hustle mentality. I never considered the importance of my husband being a hustler as well, to keep the peace in the house. I wouldn't want my husband sitting at home waiting for his dream job, and Target is begging people to come work. That would infuriate me.

I wish more men had a better understanding of what that hadith of the prophet pbuh really meant. I think the three biggest problems are communities putting culture before religion and the fact that this generation can't make a decision to save their life, and the biggest issue which is not having taqwa. And the problem is because of that the window for sisters to be married gets smaller and smaller as she gets older, and more independent. And suddenly you have this large number of girls in their 30s who wanna get married and have children but there are no men considering those women. Like what do I do at this point.

Salam brothers. Good podcast as usual may Allah increase and reward you guys. Some small suggestions 1. Stay on points a little longer and have more defined direction for episode. Many times good points were made or good topics brought up but then you switch real quick and not continue 2. Talk about/ get into a little more detail of some of the sensitive/taboo things that are prevalent these days especially when it comes to men and women relations and how we view women etc. Because it would be better to hear it from men of religion and experience than random non-Muslims/media. If am not mistaken the Prophet PBUH used to answer all type of questions. So if you don’t address certain topics because of shyness or fear of backlash etc people could could end up seeking it from non-reliable sources.

No interest in remarrying despite his family wanting him to 3 days after Mom passed away. Mom and Dad's mom obv didn't get along, at all. But now Mom's gone. I used to joke with her is she going to put my wife through her paces when the time comes etc. But now it's non question - still unmarried. Salam laykum.

Great episode brothers. I 100% agree with brothers needing to take the lead to shut down any feeling development prior to seeking the halal path. It also sets the tone for your selfless leadership capability in the path of Allah for more than her, but for an entire family in the future. Thank you for the emphasis on introspection regarding your relationship with money prior to assessing anyone else. The projection & judgement is real. It’s wrongfully easier to call someone a ‘gold digger’ than to call yourself ‘unnecessarily stingy and fearful’ Continuing with introspection, I would also add on the family component that brothers especially need to have candid conversations with the women in their family to understand their experience of the family unit. I have met several brothers who speak highly of the women in their families enjoying servitude and never requiring the men to help around the home whereas the women in the family had a completely different reality of the lack of support. It’s easy to be fooled by personal bias and perception, and then judge others by their family dynamics that might be more outspoken. Once more on introspection, choosing someone based on what you enjoy and not what you fear others will say/judge you for/etc truly speaks to your confidence, self awareness and leadership. If you enjoy a strong, outspoken or opinionated woman, then so be it. If you like bigger women or a woman that isn’t what societies new beauty standard is, then so be it. If you have insecurities as the brother mentioned about someone being too good looking, then don’t marry her and make the experience miserable. SubhanAllah, the amount of shooting yourself in the foot that takes place from early on due to complete lack of introspection/self awareness is the true cause of divorce, not the person who finally files the papers in the end. Leadership of a home and family begins with self leadership and emotional intelligence. Building the trust in your leadership begins day 1. May Allah make it easy for all of us. Once again, wonderful episode.

Interesting discussion! A lot of good points to ponder upon. However, I have some philosophical questions and would love to hear the team's thoughts on them. 1) I have always wondered about how people find if someone is compatible before marriage. Given the limited ways in which you can interact with your potential spouse, how can one find out if someone is really compatible with you. Moreover, isn't compatibility something that is achieved by couples who build their marriage and companionship with patience, tawakkul-alAllah, husn-uz-zan, and graciousness. 2) Talking about chosing religiosity over culture, isn't it a part of American culture or western culture to have the liberty to marry someone that is not the same nationalty or culture as you. Islam and its application transcends all countries and cultures but do other people from other countries really have those options given their homogeneous population? 3) I am not someone who is against divorce or anything but I have always wondered that our religion teaches us to become strong men/ women who are an example to other ummahs. With all our chaotic gut feelings, indecisiveness, and disproportionate focus on marriage and partners, are we gonna have sufficient time and energy to ponder and work on other important matters. Isn't it a trick of Shaytan to entangle us into our private lives so much so that we reduce Islam and its message to solving marriage problems and choosing right partners.

I wish people took their time with getting to know someone to see if they are compatible. I feel like it would save a lot of people from choosing the wrong person and breaking up a family, not because it naturally didn’t work out, but because they did not vet the person properly and rushed without assessing red flags.

It was so sign of respect or honor to me. It was for himself. He’s still a miserable father- I guess he’ll find a way to fix that at his own pace as well- my interference only makes him more stubborn to change. It’s been a shitshow.
