Narrated ‘Abdullah: We were with the Prophet while we were young and had no wealth whatever. So Allah’s Apostle said, “O young people! Whoever among you can marry, should marry, because it helps him lower his gaze and guard his modesty (i.e. his private parts from committing illegal sexual intercourse etc.), and whoever is not able to marry, should fast, as fasting diminishes his sexual desire.” Volume 7, Book 62, Number 4:
Nikah is a contract between a bride and a groom and they have rights over the other. Just like the Prophet’s SAW Last Sermon, he SAW said:
“O People, it is true that you have certain rights with regard to your women, but they also have rights over you. Remember that you have taken them as your wives only under Allah’s trust and with His permission. If they abide by your right then to them belongs the right to be fed and clothed in kindness. Do treat your women well and be kind to them for they are your partners and committed helpers. And it is your right that they do not make friends with any one of whom you do not approve, as well as never to be unchaste.”
On top of these advices by the Prophet SAW, what other wisdom behind the nikah is there? Come down to find out at a talk by Ustaz Abd Jalil Abd Razak this coming Saturday 9th August at Masjid al-Khair after Isya’ prayers.
The talk is first of a series of talk before Ramadhan arrives. For more enquiries, do call 6760 1139 or email alkhair@alkhair.mosque.org.sg.
