Bismillah

Ok, i know...the title creates a little bit of suspense. Well, when do you always hear the word 'sah'?

In a wedding ceremony, of course.
So i'm guessing you readers can already guess what i'll be discussing about, right? :D :D

A post from a friend actually spurs me to write about this. That, and some other things as well. Huda might know...hehe

Marriage and having children are what i've been hearing for quite some time now from my friends and classmates. I guess, as we are in a marriageable age, that's why this issue, of all other issues, is being discussed. Furthermore, we as young male and female adults being in close company most of the time, the attraction for the opposite gender is inevitable. It is already mentioned in the Holy Quran that we humans are created 'lita'aarafu', so what we are doing is actually fitrah.

However, we as muslims must know our limits in terms of having relationships with members of the opposite sex. Relationships do not have to be a boy-girl (or should i say man-woman) relationship. Relationships also mean being friends, classmates, members in an organization and others as well.

Okay, so i'm deviating a bit from the topic. Huhu...

What i'm trying to point out is, even if one has the dream or the ambition of having his/her own family one day, he/she can do so, as long as he/she follows the guidelines that Islam has posed. Because Islam promotes the act of having family, just like the prophet's saying (or an ayat from the Quran, i can't remember) that nikah will complete the other half of you.

May Allah bless our souls... Amiin
