Support Our Efforts:

⁠muslimdreamers.org/2026⁠

In this third chapter of our Marriage in Modern Times series, we tackle a topic that affects nearly every Muslim today—but is rarely addressed openly: religion vs culture in marriage. From extravagant weddings and social pressure to free mixing and family expectations, many practices have become normalized under the label of “culture”—even when they contradict the teachings of Islam. Where do we draw the line? And are we truly following the Deen, or simply what has become socially acceptable? This episode explores the growing tension between Islamic principles and cultural traditions, highlighting how harmful practices can creep into every stage of marriage—from choosing a spouse to the wedding itself and beyond.

Featuring:

• Mufti Sayyid Abdul Samad
• Mufti Salman al-Nuri
• Mufti Sayyid Asad al-Qadiri

Is This Person Right For Me? (Marriage in Modern Times — Ch. 2)

Support Our Efforts:

⁠muslimdreamers.org/2026⁠

In this second chapter of our Marriage in Modern Times series, we turn to one of the most pressing and personal questions: how do you know if someone is truly the right person to marry? In a time where choices are endless and expectations are shaped by culture, emotion, and social influence, many struggle to distinguish between what feels right and what is truly right according to Allah. This episode explores the principles that should guide your decision—looking beyond surface-level attraction to what brings lasting peace, compatibility, and barakah. We discuss the importance of Deen, character, and intention, the dangers of being led by emotions alone, and how to approach this decision with clarity and sincerity. What does it really mean for someone to be “right” for you? And how do you protect your heart while seeking a spouse?
