       Marrying to Hide a Previous Marriage and               Miscarriage: What Does Islam Say? Can a marriage built on hiding the past truly begin with trust? Marriage in Islam is not merely a social contract; it is a commitment built on honesty, responsibility, mercy, and mutual respect. When someone considers marrying another person while concealing a previous marriage or miscarriage, important questions arise about truthfulness, privacy, and the rights of the future spouse. 1.

However, there is a difference between maintaining personal privacy and deliberately deceiving a prospective spouse.

             Is Divorce in Anger Valid in Islam? Introduction Marriage in Islam is a sacred bond built on love, mercy, trust, and mutual responsibility. Allah has described the relationship between spouses as a source of tranquillity and affection. However, disagreements and emotional conflicts can arise in married life.

In Islam, marriage is not merely a relationship between two individuals; it is a sacred bond built upon faith, love, mercy, trust, responsibility, and mutual respect. Choosing a life partner requires careful consideration because the person you marry can influence your spiritual growth, emotional well-being, character, and life in this world and the Hereafter.

  Are Rizq (Provision) and Marriage Written in                        Al-Lawh Al-Mahfooz? Introduction In Islam, belief in Al-Lawh Al-Mahfooz (the Preserved Tablet) is part of believing in Allah’s divine decree ( Al-Qadar ). Muslims believe that Allah, the All-Knowing and All-Wise, knows everything that has happened, is happening, and will happen. Two questions that many people ask are: Is our rizq (provision) written before we are born? Is our marriage, including whom we will marry, also written in Al-Lawh Al-Mahfooz? The answer is that Allah has recorded everything in His knowledge and decree, including a person’s provision, lifespan, and what will happen in their life. However, this belief should encourage Muslims to trust Allah, make sincere efforts, and seek what is good through lawful means. 1. What Is Al-Lawh Al-Mahfooz? Al-Lawh Al-Mahfooz means the Preserved Tablet in which Allah has recorded what He decreed. Alla...
