This is the scariest picture for Muslims! Ibn Mas’ood said: “Something will come and take the Qur’aan one night and not one aayah will be left, either in the Mus-haf or in the heart of any person, but it will be taken away.” (Al-Daarimi - Saheeh no. 3209)

Instead of spending £20,000 on a wedding in a hall with a 5-course menu, why don’t families do the full nikah and walimah in a masjid (with one dish & one dessert) for <£3000 and give £17,000 towards the deposit of the house of the newly-wed couple?

Nikāh (Islamic marriage) is for life. The vows of ‘qabūl (accepting one another) at the time of Nikāh are serious intentions to stay together for life! Stop treating Nikāh like a light matter, almost as if you bought something from the shop with a returning policy!

The reason why Allah started the Quran with الحمد لله ‘All praise belongs to Allah’ is because it’s the no. 1 thing humans lack in. They focus on the few negatives in life among millions of God’s blessings & as a result, they lack appreciation. So Allah is saying ‘Appreciate!’
