Sahl bin Sa`d As-Sa`idi (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A man passed by the Prophet (PBUH), so he asked a man who was sitting near him, "What is your opinion about this man?" That man replied: "He is one of the noblest men. By Allah he is certainly a proper person for (a girl) being given in marriage if he seeks to marry, and his recommendation is fit to be accepted if he recommends". Messenger of Allah (PBUH) remained silent. Then another man passed. Messenger of Allah (PBUH) enquired, "What is your opinion about this man?" He replied: "O Messenger of Allah, he is one of the poor Muslims. He is not a proper person (for a girl) to be given in marriage to, and his recommendation would not be accepted if he makes one; if he speaks, he is not to be listened to." Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "He is better than the former by earthfuls".[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith contains the following two important points:
1. The distinction and greatness of such poor Muslims who are neither known in society because due to their poverty nor are they respected by people. But due to their Faith and piety, each of them is better in the sight of Allah than others. This Hadith makes it abundantly clear that what really matters with Allah is Faith and piety not lineage nor pomp and show.
2. For marriage purposes, men and women of noble character should be selected even if they are poor because at the level of religion they are on par with other Muslims. Thus, the principle underlined here is that the preference should be given to the equality in respect of religion rather than worldly wealth and richness.

A Marriage Denied is.....A Modesty Denied and Obscenity Approved....
by Nisaar Y. Nadiadwala (IRF Team, Mumbai)
One of the most hurting plight I see regularly in trains, buses, malls, parks and beaches of Mumbai is, 'many face veiled Muslim girls roaming with boyfriends'. And this number is not a small one. It is surging up so high that it is evident, even in the dark corners of Mumbai lanes. I am sure it is the same in Pakistani schools and colleges too.
Among the most rotten things that the Muslims have picked up from the dust bin of the western civilisation is the concept of "delayed marriages". Delayed marraiges are one of the catalysts that has speeded up immodesty in the west, hidden immodesty as well as open immodesty. Looks at the study below that testifies my claim.
And according to one Virginia study, 24% of college women will become pregnant at some point during their college careers.....Some 27% of all pregnancies among 15- to 19-year-olds ended in abortion, and 59% resulted in live births. The remaining 14% ended in miscarriage.......Some 46% of all teens, ages 15-19, in the United States have had sex. That's the average. Breakout data ranges from 13% of 15-year-olds to 70% of 19-year-olds. (Jackie Burrell, About.com Guide)
Alan Guttmacher Institute reports that
80 percent of Americans teens have had sex at least once by the time they reach their twentieth birthday.
The question arises is : If girls and boys are allowed by the law to have sex after a certain age then why are marriages disliked? The answer is simple. Nobody wants to spend on some one else's daughter's household, telephone, kitchen, clothes..." If you are getting fun free of responsiblities then why entertain social commitments?!!!!!"
Will Muslim fathers agree to let their daughter roam with boys hiding her identity behind a face veil, loitering on the beaches and sitting in the bushes in the corner of the parks and getting unwanted babies aborted in some unhygenic operation theatre? NO Muslim father would like to hear that such accidents are happening to his daughter but how many accept the fact that the threat lurks even at the veiled girls.
There are some dangerous things happening to the girls in the West who are in illict relationships :
1. Although teenagers tend to have sexual relationships with only one partner during any given time, their number of sexual partners adds up over time; almost 25 percent report having sex with four or more partners by 12th grade.
Do you want your daughters to be one of those unfortunates who are exploited by not one but four or more boys ? Ofcourse NO!
2. Each year one-quarter of the estimated 12 million new cases of STDs, other than HIV, in the U.S. occur among teenagers. Adolescents 15 to 19 years old have some of the highest reported rates of gonorrhea and chlamydia among sexually active people and most of them are girls...

Young men are flocking to the Majsids at the call of adhan and young women are crowding hijab shops. Islamic seminars collect more crowds than many educational seminars even in busy cities. Arabic classes, Qur'anic classes and fiqh related websites are hosting to satisfy the knowledge hungy youth. One more sunnah needs to be revived.. Break the barriers that delays marraiges.
This is the most indecent age that humanity has ever experienced. When affairs are announced proudly and joyfully and celebrated everywhere around us ,dont let the youth live a secretly sexually frustrated life when he is missiled and bombarded with alluring and tempting Movies, Serials , Bill boards, stories of affairs and romance.... making them bolder to commit sins. There is no better option than marrying your children at the right age. And what is the right age? Ask your own self instead of asking your sons or daughters.....

Shaikh Fawzaan: Protecting The Innovator is Betrayal Against the Muslims
Bismillaah Al-Hamdulillaah wa salatu wa salaamu 'ala rasulullaah
Amma-ba'd
Protecting The Innovator is Betrayal Against the Muslims, by Shaikh Saalih al-Fawzaan (hafidhahullaah)Question: Is the absence of refuting
Ahlul-Bid'ah (the people of innovation) - and concealing their falsehood and defending them - considered as deception against the Muslims?
Shaikh Fawzaan answered: This is the greatest form of deception against the Muslims! Remaining silent concerning Ahlul-Bid'ah (the people of innovation), and the absence of clarifying their innovation, (Hadha min al-Gish lil Muslimeen) this is deception against the Muslims. And if - in addition to this - they praise and exalt them, then this is more severe and a greater evil. And refuge in Allaah is sought!Thus, it is obligatory upon those who have knowledge to clarify the innovations and newly invented matters. And they must prohibit and warn against the innovation, and NOT remain silent. Remaining silent is considered concealing the truth.Allaah said:
Verily, those who conceal the clear proofs, evidences and the guidance, which We have sent down, after We have made it clear for the people in the Book, they are the ones cursed by Allaah and cursed by the cursers. Except those who repent and do righteous deeds, and openly declare (the truth which they concealed). These, I will accept their repentance. And I am the One Who accepts repentance, the Most Merciful. (Al-Baqarah, ayat 159-160)
It is not permissible for the Muslim who possesses knowledge to remain silent concerning innovation and deviance without clarifying it for the people. This is because if he remains silent, the people will use him as an argument, saying, 'if this was impermissible or prohibited, then the scholar so and so would not have remained silent about it while he sees it.' Na'am (yes). [End of quote]_________________________________________________Imam Muslim recorded on the authority of 'Ali ibn Abi Talib (radiallaahu 'anhu): the Messenger of Allaah (salallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said:
May Allaah curse he who harbors (accommodates) an innovator (Muhdithan) and in another narration
that which is innovated (Muhdathan). As-Suyooti, in his comments of the Sunnan of Imam An-Nasa`i, said this means that -----> the curse is upon the one who supports the one who innovates into the religion and, in the second narration, the curse is upon the one who defends and supports the bid'ah itself.
