Praise is to God, we were able to conduct a survey
to explore the views and opinions of the general public on what THEY THOUGHT
were the most common issues adversely affecting a marriage and what was the
best solution.
A few points should be emphasised before delving
into the results of the survey.
·
There is no such thing as a perfect man,
a perfect woman or indeed a perfect marriage.
Perfection belongs only to God.
·
We were not sent to this world to find
happiness, rather we were sent solely to worship God.
·
God does not burden a soul with more
than it can bear. Our trials and
tribulations are unique to us. How we
conduct ourselves during such times will determine our success in this life and
the next.
·
We can never change unless we change
what is within ourselves, so before pointing to the faults of others, let us
begin with analysing ourselves.
·
Du’aa (supplication) is a weapon of a
believer. Never under estimate the power
of Du’aa.
·
One must equip oneself with knowledge of
the rights of the husband/wife.
Bearing these basic factors in mind will help us to
create a more harmonious relationship, if God wills. And help us to be more
tolerant towards each other.
There were a
variety of responses.
·
Family problems
·
Cultural conflicts
·
Financial issues
·
Living arrangements
·
Lack of patience
However, the most common response was-
·
Lack of Islam.
The solution to all these problems can be found by
incorporating Islam fully in life. This was the general response on the day.
The common foundation of a successful marriage is
surely in following Islam as a way of life.
Islam provides us with the tools that can make our
whole lives successful.
So, brothers and sisters let us make a firm
intention to commit to understanding our deen better and making the necessary
changes in our lives.
