When we reflect on our own worth and value, as well as the worth and value of those around us, what metric are we using? Abu Nadrah reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said during the days after the pilgrimage, “O people, your Lord is one and your father (Adam) is one. Verily there is no superiority of an Arab over a non-Arab, nor of a non-Arab over an Arab, nor of a red (white) person over a black person, nor black person over a red (white) person, except in terms of Taqwa (God consciousness).

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "A woman is married for four things, i.e., her wealth, her family status, her beauty and her religion. So you should marry the religious woman (otherwise) you will be a losers." Reference: Sahih al-Bukhari 5090 To understand a society's values, we can examine the standards it sets for marriage. The Prophet (pbuh) instructed us to prioritize religion and character in choosing a spouse, warning that neglecting these qualities leads to widespread corruption. To build a strong Muslim community, we must first establish strong Muslim households, rooted in marriages that emphasize deen and character above all else. Speaker: Ustadh Naeem Baig
