00:00:01 --> 00:00:02
			The second question
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:07
			from Muhammad Yunus, Mumbai,
India,
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:12
			masha Allah, you have a family of
Dinesh,
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:19
			what would be the criteria you
would look for? While selecting a
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:23
			life partner for your son Farik
considering he's also the
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:29
			brother Mambo, Julius has posed
the question that what would I
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:33
			look for a life partner if I have
to choose the life partner, for my
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			son five equals a day? Number one,
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:41
			the choice will depend on my son,
not on me. Because my son would be
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			leading a life with his right.
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:49
			He should select the right one.
But naturally, I being a father
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:54
			can give guidelines because of
experience. If I was to guide my
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:59
			son, and you're aware of the
criteria, and we discussed this,
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:03
			many times Alhamdulillah we are on
the same wavelength. And the
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:08
			reason is because of my wife,
whatever my son today is, and my
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:15
			daughter's maximum credit, you
could say 80% or more, goes to my
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:21
			wife, and oppose this question
very often. That when is the
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:22
			latest?
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:28
			You would like to plan for the
future of your son. To some people
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:32
			say I would like to plan maybe
when my son goes in university or
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:35
			my daughter goes in university.
Some people say when you go to
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:39
			college, some would say in school,
some would say I would plan for my
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:43
			children when they enter nursery,
but Islamic Methodist and Islamic
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:47
			criteria is that the latest you
plan not nearly latest is when you
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:51
			select a life partner. When you
select a life partner, then you're
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:55
			planning how would you want your
children so I wanted my children
		
00:01:55 --> 00:02:00
			to become dive. That's the reason
I selected the year. I wanted them
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:03
			to be religious, that is the
reason I selected a religious
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:04
			girl.
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:10
			And today, most of the people
think that my children are di e
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:13
			then Alhamdulillah I had in the
field of Dawa and Islam
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:18
			Alhamdulillah because of me, if
percentage wise I forgive myself
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:22
			50% Due to my wife 100 My
guidelines there my support is
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:27
			there everything is there, but the
credit goes to my wife. But coming
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:32
			to the question, what are the
criteria that I would see or look
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:36
			for? In a life partner for my son
FEYERICK was a die? As I mentioned
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:39
			in my earlier answer, our beloved
prophet masala Salam said
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:45
			inside Buhari wire number seven,
Hadith number 5090. And the same
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:48
			Hadith repeated in say Muslim,
while number four Hadith number
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:54
			3635. Abu Huraira Mala BP, the
team said that Prophet Muhammad
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:57
			peace be upon said that women
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:02
			are chosen for four things in
marriage, when you marry a woman
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:03
			or look for four things.
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:05
			Wealth,
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			lineage, nobility,
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:12
			beauty
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:17
			and religion to the for her
religion. But the prophet said
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:22
			though people look for four things
in a life partner while choosing a
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:23
			woman for marriage.
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:26
			Wealth, lineage,
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:33
			beauty, and religion. Choose her
for religion the best is religion.
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:35
			And as
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:43
			I mentioned earlier, that I would
tell my son, that while choosing a
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:49
			life partner, see to it that you
give 95% weightage to religion.
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:51
			The other three
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:56
			are time bound mainly for worldly
things. Religion Hardeen is for
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:59
			the hara, and for the fold. And
Allah Subhana Allah says in the
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:03
			Quran, that if you seek for this
world, Allah will give you this
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:07
			world but not the akhira if you
seek for Kira, Allah will give you
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:12
			Accra and this world as far as the
wealth is concerned, I would not
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:16
			like my son, to use the wealth of
his wife for delivery.
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:22
			He should be a man he should look
after himself. He is the one. So
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:24
			what difference does it make
whether the girl is rich or poor.
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:29
			So as far as the wealth is
concerned, there is no waiting at
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:34
			all. Only thing you should be
careful that poor achieve, the
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:37
			better it is, the richer she is,
it is difficult, but if she's
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:41
			extremely rich, then you have to
be careful. If she's extremely
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:45
			rich and used to that luxury of
life, she may be a billionaire's
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:49
			daughter, then I would say, Be
careful unless a dean is 100 out
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:55
			of 100 Then maybe she would not
care for the wealth that she has.
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:58
			But otherwise, if she's too
wealthy, you have to be careful
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			you may not be able to take care
of
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:04
			For the poor or the better, so the
weightage for the wealth is zero
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:07
			but only be careful that she's not
actually marriage is for the
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:10
			better if she's nominal, so no
problem britches oh no problem but
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12
			not too rich or excessively rich.
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15
			Point number two, the lineage of
the family
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:19
			I would say that makes no
difference, but if you're coming
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:24
			from a religious family make it a
very small, maybe half percent
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:28
			weightage according to me, if it
is good, but whether it is or not,
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:31
			the deen is more important, some
people from the very good family
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:34
			may not be good, we have the
examples of children of the Amir's
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:39
			of messengers, who Mushriks you
have examples of children and
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:43
			mushriks, who became messengers.
So your body the example. So
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:46
			lineage is important, but not that
much, I would hardly give any
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48
			mutation that maybe half percent.
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:53
			As far as beauty, she should not
be repulsive, but natural medicine
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:58
			should like and beauty differs.
It's in the eye of the beholder,
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:01
			and everything is in the mind. So
I would say okay, you can give
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:06
			about maybe three or 4% marks of
beauty 95% minimum should be 14.
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:09
			This is what our guidance and this
is what I believe everybody
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:15
			believes in regarding the criteria
and the requirement, but
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:19
			naturally, the basic requirements
that are Muslimah should be
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:21
			in the criteria,
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:28
			I would have eight criteria which
are compulsory. Number one, she
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:35
			should be a practicing Muslim
Ummah, following Islam as per the
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:41
			Glorious Quran, and the Hadith,
and she should do all the fries. I
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:47
			repeat, the first criteria and the
most important is she should be a
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:52
			practicing Muslim who follows
Islam as per the teachings of the
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:55
			Glorious Quran and the say Hadith
and she should do all the
		
00:06:57 --> 00:07:03
			all the all Tawheed Krishna Taqwa
she should pray five times a day.
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:08
			She should give Zuckerberg if she
has to give, she should first in
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:12
			the month of Ramadan. If she has
to do it, she should do it. Hijab
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:17
			and all these can speak for us
together. Number two, she should
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:22
			abstain from all the Haram
activities. All the major sins all
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:27
			the minor sins as much as possible
but natural. If it's one or two
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:30
			minus and no human being can say
that he does not send it all.
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:36
			But Abstain from all the major
sins, abstain from all the sins if
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:37
			possible, almost all
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:45
			number three, she should be
virtuous and do as much as mazahub
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:49
			as much as Sunnah of the Beloved
Prophet masala Salah
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52
			third is a virtuous girl
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:58
			who follows as much as sunnah of
the Prophet does as much as
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:02
			mazahub What is recommended in the
Quran and say Hadith
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:04
			that is,
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:07
			article 11 should be high.
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:09
			Believe Tauheed
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:15
			besides the fight times Salah she
should offer the title salah, she
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:19
			should pray the sooner the Makkah
descended the yarmulke she should
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:22
			give charity besides the first
zakat. Beside fasting in the month
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:26
			of Ramadan, she should fast the
day of alpha.
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:31
			First, the first nine days of
Zilla Jaya the three days of moram
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:37
			910 11 She should keep the six
last Prof. Chawan she should fast
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:41
			three days that aim will be every
month should be faster on Monday
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:43
			and Thursday and so on and so
forth.
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:49
			As much as of the stock as
possible, as much as virtuous as
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:50
			possible.
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:54
			And you can speak for us together
on the third point.
		
00:08:56 --> 00:09:01
			The fourth point is she should
have the passion for Dawa and
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:06
			spreading the message of Islam
amongst the Muslims anonymous
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:07
			passion
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:13
			for Dawa and spreading Islamic
teachings. Fourth point, fifth
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:19
			point she should encourage and
support her husband that is my son
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:25
			for doing Java completely that we
should support in all the
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:30
			activities of my son she should
completely support and encourage
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:32
			and help him in all of our
activities.
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:38
			Number six, she should be willing
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:46
			to lead a simple life which is non
lectures. Inshallah. My son's life
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:50
			is quite comfortable. But if
required for the sake of Islam,
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:53
			she should be able to sacrifice
all comforts.
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:59
			Seventh, she should be fluent in
English. Because my son is
		
00:09:59 --> 00:09:59
			Sudanese you
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:04
			And he would want how to be fluent
in English. The eighth is she
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:09
			should be willing to settle in
Malaysia or wherever my son would
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:13
			shift, but his plans are to stay
and live in Malaysia. So she
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:16
			should be willing to settle in
Malaysia, these are the eight
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:22
			compulsory criteria. If I would
mention the criteria for selecting
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:27
			life partner for myself, as far as
the criteria which are very
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:31
			important, but not compulsory
number one would be I would want
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:31
			her
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:39
			to be fluent in fossa, Arabic, the
classical Arabic, the Arabic of
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:40
			the Quran, she should be fluent.
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:42
			And that
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:46
			the reason is that I would want my
children to be fluent and Arabic.
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:50
			My son knows Arabic fluently
fossa, I would want his wife to
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:52
			know so that the children are
fluent in English and Arabic,
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:53
			both.
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:55
			Number two,
		
00:10:57 --> 00:10:59
			she should be a Daya.
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:05
			She should propagate Islam, to the
non Muslims, and the Muslims.
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:08
			Number three,
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:13
			she should have a bachelor's
degree in any of the Islamic
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:14
			Studies,
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:21
			whether it be Islamic studies in
general, or in Sharia, or in Quran
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:22
			or Hadith.
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:27
			These are preferable, not
compulsory, if little bit is less
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:31
			or more no problem, but preferably
the third Bachelor's in Islamic
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:37
			Studies. The fourth is I would
also want her to be a half of the
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:37
			Quran.
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:42
			My son had half either want to be
office on the children also office
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:46
			and being half as is preferable
for our
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:53
			number five, she shouldn't be
associated with an Islamic
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:54
			organization.
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:57
			And number six, that she should
have watched
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:04
			many of the English speaking days
so that she knows
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:07
			what is Java and
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:14
			what is the surrounding
atmosphere. So these are the six
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:17
			additional points which are not
compulsory, but preferable if one
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:20
			is missing, or a little bit less,
doesn't matter, but there are
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:26
			eight compulsory points. And there
are fixed, highly recommended
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:30
			preferable points that I would
look for in a life partner for my
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:34
			son. These are the main criteria,
the initial, of course, is there,
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:37
			that there are many additional
points, for example, the culture
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:41
			should match. And the other things
are there you can't expect a
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:46
			Chinese to live with an African
can if the first aid criteria are
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:51
			95 or above in Max. And if the
additional points six are very
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:56
			good, then the other things can be
compromised. The culture differs
		
00:12:56 --> 00:13:00
			between the people. So these
things are with a secondary and
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:04
			tertiary. But the first compulsory
points I've mentioned it, then the
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:08
			six points and the points are
later on. So this was in brief
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:14
			what I would look for in life
partner for my son Farik hope that
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:14
			answers the question.
