CONVERSION, MARRIAGE AND DEATH: THREE QUICK EVENTS
It is often said, in all cultures, that one of the most important events of a young man's or a young woman's life is getting married. This simple act of the "legal" union of man and woman in marriage, is a commitment by the couple to each other; to thei families and community, and possibly more importantly, to the laws ordained and commanded by the Creator - Allah (subhanahu wa taala), in the case of Muslims at least. Marriage for muslims is "fifty percent of religion" the Prophet of Islam (shallallahu alaihi wasallam) stated and which is recorded in hadith. It is, indeed, a great event for Muslims but it can be a simple and private event.
