A hadith in marriage.

Very famous hadith.

If atakum man tar dawna, deenahu and kulukah,

or if someone comes to you proposing,

whose religion and character is pleasing.

Let's be very clear that the Prophet's Allahis-Salam is saying,

whose religion and character is pleasing,

in lieu of other things that other people usually make as standards of marriage.

All right? So it's not the same tribe, it's not the same race, it's not the finances, it's not the career.

What's actually appealing about that suitor is their character and their religion.

The Prophet's Lysaim says, Fizu, then marry that person. Don't turn that person away. If that person

meets the necessary bar of religion and character, do not turn that person away.

And the Prophet's Lysay Sam says,

If you don't fitna in the earth,

and fesadun arreid. If you don't do that,

there will be fitna on earth, trial and tribulation on earth,

and a widespread corruption.

Ftna'an arreid. That's the hadith of the Prophet's

Salli-Sal. Now, you look at that and you say, all right, well look, this has nothing to do with the world.
