THE REAL POWER COUPLES

THE REAL POWER COUPLES

Now that we have defined society's view of a "power couple", let's go into what Islam's view is. The Holy Prophet (peace be upon him and his progeny) sums it up nicely when he says, "Join your children in marriage (boys or girls), because thereby Allah renders their tempers good, adds to their sustenance, and increases their sense of honor." He also said, "The person who marries gains half of his Faith; then he must be conscious of God for the remaining half." So according to these narrations, an Islamic power couple is faithful, has a good temper, and is honorable - quite a departure from society's definition of a power couple! Here are just some examples of the differences between a regular power couple and an Islamic power couple.
