1. Ask Yourself: Why am I getting married? 'Because all my friends are' is not a legitimate reason.This is a good question to ask even if you are meeting the person to make a final decision because it will be a reminder about the real purpose of marriage from an Islamic perspective. Marriage from an Islamic perspective, is part of faith and it is part of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). As well, "my intention should be I am looking for someone with whom I will build a family",says Imam Muhammad Nur Abdullah of St. Louis, Missouri, a member of the North American Fiqh Council. He has conducted pre-marriage counselling in the U.S.for the last 20 years. Marriage is a commitment and relationship that starts in the Dunya (world) and will continue Insh- Allah in Paradise together," he adds.
