“Exalted is He who created all pairs – from what the earth grows and from themselves and from that which they do not know.” (Qur’an, 36:36)
When our Creator gave birth to the first human family by creating Adam (AS), then Hawa (Eve) (AS), he set the blueprint for His Ummah, and for all human civilization. A blueprint designed to help us complete our Deen and become a whole Muslim, in our journey to be free of worldly temptation and instability.
The responsibility then falls on the Ummah to preserve, nourish and pass on our Creator’s blueprint, by creating strong Muslim families.
My dear brothers and sisters, it is critical that we fulfill this responsibility, and to keep focus on prioritizing our families. Why?
Because today, our Ummah is suffering. Marriage and the nuclear family concept of a mother, father and children is under heavy attack. Falling fertility rates, rise in divorce, confusion in our youth regarding their roles, priorities, sexuality and gender. The need to build and fortify strong Muslim families is greater than ever.
But unfortunately we’re failing to dig deeper into the communities throughout the Muslim world. If we start reflecting on the QUALITY of Muslim, the Deen level, the Iman, we find our Ummah falling short of the ideals set forth for us by our Creator. As our families break apart, or fail to form in the first place, the weaker our Ummah becomes. It is a problem that compounds itself with each generation, and unless we choose to act now and every day, our Ummah will spiral far and away from the word of Allah (SWT).
Are we fulfilling our duty to preserve, nourish and pass on the marriage blueprint for the benefit of ourselves, and of all mankind? To even find a potential spouse and get married has become quite a Jihad (struggle). We are failing to complete our Deen, and failing to help others complete theirs.
As one person, I cannot solve this problem. But I intend, for the sake of Allah (SWT), to do my part in helping in any way I can. To learn about me, why I created Men of Deen, and how I hope to help, please visit the About Section
Why, in time of such advanced communication and technology, when Islam is the fastest growing religion on the planet, is it so hard to find your spouse? The answer to this question is complex, but the solution is not: as an Ummah, we must struggle and strive to build ourselves into the spouses we seek, and move with intention and urgency to complete our Deen.
