The word "zawj" is used in the Qur'an to mean a pair or a mate. In general it usage refers to marriage. The general purpose of marriage is that the sexes can provide company to one another, love to one another, procreate children and live in peace and tranquility to the commandments of Allah.
Marriage serves as a means to emotional and sexual gratification and as a means of tension reduction. It is also a form of Ibadah because it is obeying Allah and his messenger - i.e. Marriage is seen as the only possible way for the sexes to unite. One could choose to live in sin, however by choosing marriage one is displaying obedience to Allah.
Marriage is "mithaq" - a solemn covenant (agreement). It is not a matter which can be taken lightly. It should be entered into with total commitment and full knowledge of what it involves. It is not like buying a new dress where you can exchange it if you don't like it. Your partner should be your choice for life. One should be mature enough to understand the demands of marriage so that the union can be a lasting one. For a marriage to be valid certain conditions must be met.
1) consent of both parties.
2) " Mahr" a gift from the groom to his bride.
3) Witnesses- 2 male or female.
4) The marriage should be publicized, it should never be kept secret as it leads to suspicion and troubles within the community.
الحمد لله الذى بنعمته تتم الصالحات وبفضله تتنزل البركات والصلاة والسلام على سيد السادات وصاحب خاتمة الرسالات محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم وبعد.
ان الناظر فى الشريعة الإسلامية بمصدريها كتاب وسنةيجد انها تأمرنا وترغبنا فى الزواج قال تعالى وانكحوا الإيامى منكم والصالحين من عبادكم. وقال صلى الله عليه وسلم يا معشر الشباب من استطاع منكم الباءة فليتزوج فإنه اغض للبصر واحصن للفرج. ولكن عندما ننظر فى واقعنا المعاش نجد ان هناك بعض المعوقات التى تختلف باختلاف الزمان والمكان حسب اهميتها تقف حجر عسره امام الكثير من الشباب والفتيات فى الاقدام على الزواج مما ادى الى تأخر بعضهما عن الزواج أو الأحجام بالكلية عن الزواج ولعل من أهم هذه المعوقات خاصة فى المجتمعات التى بها أقليات مسلمة ككندا وغيرها من دول الغرب ان هناك فجوة كبيرة بين العائلات المسلمة حيث أنهم لا يعرفون بعضهم البعض وذلك لتباعد الديار وكثرة الاهتمامات والمسؤوليات مما دفع المهتمين بهذا الشأن ان يبحثوا عن حل لهذه المشكلة يساعد على التقريب والتواصل بين الجادين فى البحث عن الزواج ومن ثم جاء هذا المشروع الوليد على أيدى إخوة وأخوات مخلصين سائلين المولى سبحانه وتعالى ان يجازيكم خيرا وان يكتب لهذا المشروع النجاح والتوفيق
Marriage is a well recognized commandment of Islam. Allah (SwT) commands us to marry the single, righteous man/woman among us. (This website) is giving a chance to unmarried people to find the righteous spouse that will complete their Deen and guide them to the straight path of Allah.
Allah (SwT) says:
وَأَنْكِحُوا الْأَيَامَىٰ مِنْكُمْ وَالصَّالِحِينَ مِنْ عِبَادِكُمْ وَإِمَائِكُمْ ۚ إِنْ يَكُونُوا فُقَرَاءَ يُغْنِهِمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ وَاسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ
"Marry those among you who are single, or the virtuous ones among yourselves, male or female: if they are in poverty, Allah will give them means out of His grace: for Allah encompasseth all, and he knoweth all things" (Surah 24, Verse 32)
