00:00The key word here I want us to highlight, dear brothers and sisters, is As-Saliheen, the righteous ones.

00:06Look at the criteria that was set by Allah.

00:09We are talking about the bedrock, we are talking about the pillow of the marriage,

00:12we are talking about what will last and survive the test of time.

00:16Marriage is a journey that is filled with challenges

00:21where you are required to make some very tough decisions sometimes in that marital relationship.

00:27And we as human beings, we make decisions on the basis of values that we have.

00:33And us Muslims, the most important value for us is Islam and the pleasure of Allah.

00:39Therefore, the more Islam you share with your spouse,

00:43the easier it will be to make those difficult decisions in life

00:47because you are both singing from the same hymn sheet.

00:49But when the bedrock of religion is missing,

00:53or you guys are at completely different levels

00:56because you didn't take it into consideration when getting married,

00:58making those decisions in life becomes very complicated.

01:01Basic questions may cause a dispute,

01:04like which school are we going to send our children to?

01:07Are we going to save up money for Hajj next year or not?

01:10Basic questions like halal and haram food, where should we be eating from?

01:14Income, how are we making money in this household?

01:17Basic questions becomes a source of fighting.

01:19Look at how the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

01:23has emphasized the importance of finding righteousness in the male,

01:27finding righteousness in the female.

01:29The relationship cannot truly be successful and properly prosper Islamically

01:35if one of those two are missing.
