Six Questions to Ask Yourself Before Thinking of a Muslim Marriage
Essential self-reflection before Muslim marriage is crucial. This guide offers six key questions to ensure clarity and intentionality for this significant commitment
Marriage in Islam is a beautiful commitment not just a party with good biryani and better selfies. Itʼs a sacred union, a spiritual partnership, and yes, a full-time job with eternal rewards. Before you envision a future with matching outfits, take some time for honest self-reflection.
Think of this as a pre-nikah self-check. No judgement, just real talk.
Do I Know Why I Want to Get Married
Not just because everyone else is getting married. Or perhaps your aunties have created a matchmaking WhatsApp group in your honor. Be
real, is this about companionship, faith, family, or pressure?
Marriage is a sunnah but intention matters. Ask yourself, am I doing this to please Allah and build something meaningful, or because Iʼm
tired of answering “Whenʼs your turn?” at every wedding?
Can I Communicate Without Sending Passive-Aggressive Memes?
If you shut down during conflict, or only open up via voice notes at 1 a.m., nowʼs the time to work on it. Marriage thrives on honest,
respectful communication especially when things get tough.
Are you ready to say how you feel, listen without interrupting, and maybe admit when youʼre wrong without needing a court order?
Am I Willing to Grow Even When Itʼs Uncomfortable?
Marriage is not a finish line. Itʼs the start of a journey where both people will change. Can you accept that you might have to unlearn a few habits, challenge your ego, and grow alongside someone even if it means facing your own flaws?
How Strong Is My Relationship with My Faith?
You donʼt need to have everything figured out. But marriage in Islam is rooted in shared values prayer, patience, tawakkul. Ask yourself, can I support someone elseʼs faith without neglecting my own? Do I want a partner who will make me better, not just busier?
Youʼre not looking for perfection. Just someone whoʼs trying, just like you.
Can I Balance Compromise Without Losing Myself?
Marriage isnʼt about winning arguments or keeping score. Itʼs about give-and-take sometimes youʼll need to bend, sometimes stand firm.
Can you compromise without building silent resentment? Can you keep your identity while sharing your life?
You donʼt have to dissolve into someone elseʼs shadow. The goal is partnership, not disappearance.
Am I Serious or Just Scrolling for Fun?
This one stings a little. But if youʼre swiping through profiles like itʼs late-night takeaway, ask yourself, am I truly ready to commit, or just
casually “exploring”?
If your heart says yes, and your mind agrees, then itʼs time to look in the right places.
