as salam alykom
Ok here I am too
Look at this Ayah:
"That is so because <b>Allah will never change a grace which He has bestowed on a people until they change what is in their ownselves</b>. And verily, Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower." (Quran 8:53)
"For each (person), there are angels in succession, before and behind him. They guard him by the Command of Allah. Verily! <b>Allah will not change the good condition of a people as long as they do not change their state of goodness themselves (by committing sins and by being ungrateful and disobedient to Allah</b>). But when Allah wills a people's punishment, there can be no turning back of it, and they will find besides Him no protector." (Quran 13:11)
Just look at the underlined parts of the noble Ayahs, they explain a lot
I will allow myself to vent for the first time on a forum which I never do, following the Sunnah of Rasul Allah sallah Allah a`alyhee wa sallam saying that we must not probagat bad news.
But just take for example wedding parties held here in my country. Large amounts of money are spent over nothing, totally wasted on feeding people who dont need food. The Waleema (the food offered in the occaison of marriage) has rules in the sunnah, of them as mentioned by the Messenger that the worst waleema is that to which only rich people are invited rather than poor. How many wedding parties held in 5 star hotels include among the invitees poor people. NONE
Ok and that is only one item.. People then complain about why the rate of marriage failure is dramatically increasing these days.?????
