Assalaamu alaikum. Some selected verses: It is He Who created you from a single person, and made his mate of like nature, in order that he might dwell with her (in love). When they are united, she bears a light burden and carries it about (unnoticed). When she grows heavy, they both pray to Allah their Lord, (saying): "If Thou givest us a goodly child, we vow we shall (ever) be grateful."(s. 7, v. 189) They are your garments and ye are their garments. (s. 2, v. 187) --------- Still looking for some more.
balqees.

Now aren't you glad you asked.
Here's what you do. You stand up tap a glass with a fork and say "Hi I'm ( who ever you are first name only) and I'ma an halchoholic... Everyone will get really quiet. look around quickly at everyone with just your eyes. Don't bother to focus. Now say, "O ho myg od wrong meeting" and sit down as fast as you can on the floor next to your seat. |

No?
OKayee... This one's really good: "They are not all alike; of the followers of the Book there is an upright party; they recite Allah's communications in the nighttime and they adore (Him)." Ch-3, V-113. Now that's what I call a Brokha or possibly insurance

Assalamu 'alaikum Here are some verses of Quran "Your wives are as atilth unto you;so approach your tilth when or how ye will; but do some good act for your souls beforehand; and fear Allah. And know that ye are to meet Him (in the Hereafter), and give (these) good tidings to those who believe. " Ch2- V223 "And those who pray,"Our Lord! Grant unto us wives and offspring who will be the comfort of our eyes,and give us (the grace) to lead the righteous." Ch25- V074 "And among His Signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves , that ye may dwell in tranquillity with them, and He has put love and mercy between your (hearts): verily in that are Signs for those who reflect." Ch30 -V021 salam  |

Bismillah, I have heard the "love between your hearts", and the "you are garments for each other" at weddings before. They elaborated on each, but I remember the garment as being a beautiful image. "Protecting each other, guarding each other faults and secrets" (like a garment) are a couple ideas that I remember the sheikh saying. ------------- Al-Hamdulillah (From a Married Muslimah) La Howla Wa La Quwata Illa BiLLah - There is no Effort or Power except with Allah's Will. |

QUOTE] I think this beats the stuffing out of my "wrong meeting idea" It's not only romantic but good advice about what real respect and loyalty is about. If not there's the speech from "the princess bride" Mahwage Mahwage is what bwings us togehwah towdayay.... |
