Every time you go to such fancy marriage, you are okaying their lavish spending in marriage:

*Is it not the time to stop attending big fat & fancy marriage parties?*

It was such a big pleasure to read about marriages happening during covid with minimal set of people attending it. No rituals, no traditions, no extravaganza spending and zero showoff. It was dream come true for the people like us supporting and working to ease marriages in our Muslim society.

But our good dreams were short lived. We hear of fancy & lavish marriages, even though corona has not left us yet. Didn't our people learn their lessons yet?

*The business around marriages seems to have come back, woe to our people who failed to learn lessons from corona which was such a big Message from Allah swt. Do we need more punishments from Allah swt to return back to the Sunnah? Look around the number of marriage halls in the city have increased many folds... these are not making marriages easy but have made marriages a thriving and lucrative business!*

All the mess, traditions, cultures, expenditure, show off, business and the fantasies around a marriage in our society can easily be stopped. Do you know how? Yes you and me can stop this... curious to know how? Please stop going to these marriages. It's simple. Boycott marriages being held in big halls, in the high grounds... what kind of marriage will it be? Look the kind of hall that has been booked.. this will say it all!

*Like any TV show which gets no TRP is finally removed from telecast, the day you and me stop from going and being spectator/viewer to these marriage shows... the fancy marriages will fade away. Mark it we promote them, by going and attending them.*

Remember, show off marriages tend to set a standard in public. While the rich exhibit their power through marriages, we fall for the temptation to attend the big gathering, watch the exhibition and have a fun time!

Everything you see in marriages these days is a loot by thriving commercial businesses, an exhibition of show off, power show, fancy partying and far from Sunnah.

*Do you really need hundreds and hundreds of people to be invited & fed to get married? And what is our intention to go to such a marriage? Is it the poor quality but tasty commercial food and enjoyment? Do you want to be in a place where Islam is being disobeyed openly? Is it enough to tell its not my business and turn a blind eye to the chaos? Will we be left out of questioning, of what did I do to stop the wrong? Think!*

We the believers, are the people of Amr-bil Maruf wa Nahya Anil Munkar. We are supposed to encourage people to do what is good. And forbid evil by discouraging people from doing what is wrong.

*“Let there be a community among you who will invite (others) to all that is good, enjoin the good (Ma’ruf), and forbid the evil (Munkar), and it is they who shall succeed”*

Quran Chapter 3 Verse 104

It's high time, the reader of this message decides to boycott fancy marriages happening in our society. Help us to bring back simple marriages, so that lakhs of brothers and sisters who are looking for marriages can look for marrying with ease, with little money, no credit, without having to worry about inviting big crowds.

*Remember, every time you go to such fancy marriage, you are okaying their lavish spending in marriage, and by not going you are expressing your displeasure towards it.*

*Take an oath to boycott big fat weddings... yes we can stop this nonsense and not give it to the next generation in the name of traditions and culture.*

Mothers have a great role to play in shaping the characters and morals of nations:

* *Two incidents about the loss of a pencil!* *The first case of the missing pencil:* One robber says: Once, when I was in 4th class, I lost my pencil. When I came home I told my mother about it, as a punishment she hit me and scolded me. She called me stupid, irresponsible and much more. As a result of my mother's harsh behaviour, I made up my mind that I would not go to my mother empty-handed, so I decided to steal the pencils of my classmates. The next day, I made a plan and I didn't stop stealing one or two pencils but stole the pencils of all my class fellows. At first, I used to be afraid, but with time I got confident and more fearless. After doing so for a month, I lost the thrill. Then, I decided to go to the next class. I went from one class to another, and finally I went to the school principal's room. It was a year of practical experience in which I learned to steal both theoretically and practically and then I became a professional bandit. *The second case o...
