Marriage in Islam
Marriage plays a vital role in most people’s life religiously socially and morally. It has a special significance in every society, culture and religion. In fact to some it’s the most important aspect and dream in life, for which they spend many years preparing. Marriage is the civilized and humane way of having a relationship, as it is formal and shows more commitment, especially when there are children involved.
Mere relationship without marriage is unstable uncivilized, as civilized humans will not get in to any dealings or business without a secure contract, then how can one have children and give their life to someone without an agreement and commitment. Islam puts great importance to marriage; to an extent that Holy Prophet (saw) said Marriage is half of Iman and whoever denies the significance of marriage is not from his Ummah. When it becomes more difficult and complicated for people to marry then adultery and fornication becomes more common and easy. This is why prophet (saw) would encourage everyone to marry as soon as possible and tried to keep it as simple as possible. In the Holy Quran, Soorah An-Noor Allah ordered the Muslim community to insure that those who want to marry are married even if they are slaves or widows. This is why it is essential for the Muslim community help one another to marry. In the past people lived in small communities and tribes and they would help one another in everything. However unfortunately today, although people live in big concentrated communities, yet everyone is very distant and isolated from one another. It is as if this once upon a time Socio-political human being has died out and now there is a new breed based on individualism and self obsession. Nowadays everyone only thinks of his/her self and does not even think about one’s family let alone the community. Due to this isolation, individualism and lack of community cohesion and co-operation it has become necessary to set up agencies and web sites for helping people get married. |
Due to the extreme need of marriage agencies and websites we see that there is an enormous amount of marriage/ dating agencies and websites available for different kinds of people of different race, religion culture and mentality. Many of these agencies are making a huge amount of profit and this sector has become a big business. There are many marriage agencies and websites for Muslim, but very few are in accordance to the sharia law. Many of these Muslim marriage sites are virtually dating sites and not sharia compliant, let alone its failure to help people find the right partner. Websites where one has to contact others directly and chat waste a lot of time, as there are many non genuine people, there only to chat and waste time. Also one will end up chatting to many people, waste a lot of time and still might not find the right match, just like people trying to meet in pubs etc. they waste a lot of time meeting different people, start getting attached and getting hopes high and then doesn’t work out. It’s like a person suffering the pain and hardship of falling in love and breaking the heart again and again, and everyone knows how painful it is to fall out of a relationship.
In order to fulfil this religious, social and moral obligation and need Halal Marriage agency (HMA) has been set up. HMA is a local agency which has networks around the country. It works locally with local people doing match making for the local community. The different agents of HMA in different areas gather profiles of their local brothers and sisters and match them. It also exchanges profiles between its network to make match making more effective. In order to expand the database, so that there is more options and more profiles to match with, it will set up a website and advertise. It operates in the traditional way with the use of the modern technology in a sharia compliant way. |
