How will I know when I'm ready to

00:00:01 --> 00:00:04

get married? That's such an important question. How

00:00:04 --> 00:00:05

will you know when you're ready to get

00:00:05 --> 00:00:08

married? In the powerful words of the Prophet

00:00:09 --> 00:00:11

he said, The greatest struggle

00:00:11 --> 00:00:13

is to battle your own soul.

00:00:13 --> 00:00:16

To fight the evil within you. Wow.

00:00:17 --> 00:00:19

To fight the evil within you, to battle

00:00:19 --> 00:00:22

your own soul, the jihad binafs.

00:00:22 --> 00:00:25

The journey within when you genuinely embark on

00:00:25 --> 00:00:27

it is one of the toughest

00:00:27 --> 00:00:30

yet most rewarding journeys you'll ever undertake.

00:00:30 --> 00:00:32

You can travel the length and breadth of

00:00:32 --> 00:00:33

this planet,

00:00:33 --> 00:00:36

but until you have embarked on the journey

00:00:36 --> 00:00:37

within yourself,

00:00:37 --> 00:00:39

you do not really know who you are.

00:00:39 --> 00:00:42

In my opinion, age doesn't really matter. It's

00:00:42 --> 00:00:43

just a number.

00:00:43 --> 00:00:45

You are ready when you are truly self

00:00:45 --> 00:00:48

aware, when you have a healthy self esteem.

00:00:48 --> 00:00:50

You are ready when you truly understand your

00:00:50 --> 00:00:52

self worth and have a lot of self

00:00:52 --> 00:00:53

respect.

00:00:53 --> 00:00:55

You are ready when you know those areas

00:00:55 --> 00:00:58

you need to improve upon and are working

00:00:58 --> 00:00:58

on them.

00:00:59 --> 00:01:01

You are ready when you have this internal

00:01:01 --> 00:01:02

strength

00:01:02 --> 00:01:05

and you develop yourself into an asset.

00:01:05 --> 00:01:08

You are ready when you reflect on how

00:01:08 --> 00:01:09

the journey of your life has been so

00:01:09 --> 00:01:12

far and how it has influenced you and

00:01:12 --> 00:01:13

shaped you.
