I always bring it down to one issue in the ummah
00:00:09.240
Okay, from a personal point of view, I'll be honest
00:00:11.380
I will find it very difficult to marry somebody who's divorced
00:00:16.300
And a lot of mothers think that their sons are angels
00:00:20.580
That they just fell from the sky and they are perfect
00:00:24.120
Marrying a divorced woman, they think, oh gosh, no
00:00:26.580
My son deserves the best, he deserves a princess
00:00:29.120
Even if he's divorced himself, he still deserves a queen
00:00:33.000
The guys, even if they're not in love anymore, they're going to carry on
00:00:36.540
The sisters, it seems, that when they lose that romantic attachment and that love
00:00:41.640
And they start comparing and so on, they will fall out
00:00:44.100
With the Somali community, like personally myself
00:00:46.740
I've realised that they don't frown upon divorcees
00:00:54.120
Because they are more accepting of divorced women
00:00:56.820
You're going to grow up, you're going to do all those things
00:00:58.420
You're going to get married and you're going to
00:01:01.600
And it's like, if you are divorced, you're bringing shame upon the family
00:01:04.600
The Desi subcontinent culture does frown upon divorce a lot
00:01:10.060
But I think it's more complex than that because there's a reason
00:01:15.300
In early stages, for a man, it's, oh yes, amazing
00:01:23.200
Sisters who have been divorced, they are most likely to work 10 times harder to make that marriage last
00:01:28.740
Than anyone else who hasn't got that experience
00:01:32.040
Islam Net is raising funds to establish a masjid and community centre in Norway
00:01:51.760
Because every person that comes a step closer to Allah through your donation
00:01:59.160
Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh brothers and sisters and dear friends
00:02:04.080
I hope you guys are benefiting from this insha'Allah
00:02:07.900
If you believe that we should improve in certain aspects
00:02:11.580
Before I start, I want to praise Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
00:02:16.020
Or praise His glory and gratitude belong to Him
00:02:25.980
Or those who are looking to get married, who are married
00:02:31.260
And that we can have Muslims who are striving to the hereafter
00:06:11.360
Yeah but I disagree with a lot of things you say though
01:09:58.560
That means men are willing to stay in the marriage
01:10:00.420
You always go back to polygamy being the main issue
