Family Matters

In this powerful episode of Are High Standards Keeping You Single? Let’s Rethink Marriage, Sister Fathima Farooqi dives deep into the heart of spouse selection: the importance of prioritizing a practising Muslim. What truly differentiates a practising Muslim from someone who simply identifies as one?

Drawing on wisdom from Umar ibn al-Khattab (RA), real-life examples, and timeless guidance from the Qur’an and Sunnah, this episode uncovers why a spouse rooted in deen—someone whose worship aligns with their character—is the key to a thriving and lasting marriage.

Discover practical ways to assess sincerity, integrity, and taqwa when choosing a spouse. Learn to look beyond surface-level religiosity and focus on the traits that truly matter, as outlined by the guidance of our Prophet (ﷺ) and the companions.

Tune in for actionable advice, inspiration, and powerful reflections to help you make the right choice for your future, insha’Allah.
