BE SUCCESSFUL BY MARRYING A RELIGIOUSLY COMMITTED PERSON
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ – رضي الله عنه – عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ: “تُنْكَحُ الْمَرْأَةُ لِأَرْبَعٍ لِمَالِهَا وَلِحَسَبِهَا وَلِجَمَالِهَا وَلِدِينِهَا فَاظْفَرْ بِذَاتِ الدِّينِ تَرِبَتْ يَدَاكَ”
Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) as saying:
“Women are married for four reasons:
1- For their wealth and property,
2- For their family status,
3- For their beauty,
4- For their religiosity.
Be successful by marrying a religiously committed lady.

Beautiful Reminders About Marriage in Islam
“Seek Success by Choosing a Partner of Faith”
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
“A woman is married for four reasons: for her wealth, her lineage, her beauty, and her religiosity. Choose the one who is religiously committed, and you will be successful.”
(Sahih Al-Bukhari 5090)
In Islam, the foundation of a blessed marriage lies in faith, character, and commitment to Allah’s guidance. While wealth, social status, and beauty are often considered, it is one’s religiosity that serves as the cornerstone of a fulfilling and enduring marital life.
A spouse who is mindful of their relationship with Allah will approach marriage with love, kindness, and responsibility. They will strive to fulfill their duties with sincerity, avoid injustice, and work toward building a home grounded in peace, harmony, and mutual respect.
Without religious commitment, individuals may struggle to remain loyal and supportive, especially during times of hardship. Faith inspires patience, understanding, and a shared vision of raising righteous children who embody moral integrity and devotion to Allah.
Ultimately, marriage in Islam is more than companionship—it is a journey to seek Allah’s pleasure, strengthen faith, and cultivate a family that reflects His divine values.
