The Ties That Bind: Marriage & Taqwa
Marriage is not a social invention—it’s divine design. In this session from Pearls of the Conference 2024, Shaykh Riad Saloojee reminds us that families are “projected” from ar-Rahman’s mercy: ties of kinship (rahim) are sacred, and whoever connects them, Allah connects to Himself. We explore Quran 4:1 and 30:21, the Prophetic guidance on nikaḥ, and why shaytan targets homes—so we can rebuild them with taqwa, mawadda, and rahma.
Watch, share, and make du‘a with us for stronger homes and a stronger ummah.
