Marriage: Partners & Protectors
ISCJ – Jul. 25, 2008
“The best of you are those who are best to their family” (hadith)
I tried my best to be practical with this khutba and tried to tackle some of these difficult issues. I do not know why but it is my observation that when I don’t hear any khutbas on this important topic and when I hear something related to this topic it is fluff – superficial talk about how great earlier generations were. There are many ayat and hadith about marriage but people do not talk about marriage in today’s context. They always talk about things that happened 1400 years ago without relating it to our times. Furthermore, many young couples are going through a lot of stress and anxiety in their marriage and they simply do not have anybody to ask for advice. Again, this is one serious subject that most speakers will not discuss. I hope things will change for better.
