Hojjat al-Islam Navvab at the gathering of young couples in Mecca:
Comfort and preventing moral and social corruption are among the wisdom of marriage
A group of young couples who have gone to Hajj Tamattu’ at the beginning of their lives met today in Mecca Supreme Leader's representative in Hajj and Pilgrimage affairs and head of the Iranian pilgrims Hojjat al-Islam Seyed Abdolfattah Navvab.
According to the Hajj Information base, at the beginning of this meeting, head of the Iranian pilgrims described the success of these young couples in to attend the land of revelation and perform Hajj Tamattu’ during their youth as very valuable and a manifestation of their family's sacrifice. He then referred to some verses of Holy Quran about marriage and expressed some moral advice for strengthening life and deepening and stabilizing love between couples.
Referring to the importance of "forgiveness" in life, supreme Leader's representative in Hajj and Pilgrimage affairs pointed out that if a person is looking for excuses and grounds for "not forgiving," there are certainly many grounds for it, but what is important is that a person can find a way to forgive and, through this, building a life full of love.
Hojjat al-Islam Navvab described the man as the support, base, and hope of the wife and the woman as the center of love, sacrifice, and affection in their shared life. He said that observing certain subtleties in shared life, such as respecting each other and the families of both parties, sacrificing for each other, constantly paying attention to each other's concerns, and avoiding speaking and acting when angry, are the issues that have great effect in peace and love in families.
The Iranian Hajj leader also narrated hadiths from the infallible Imams (AS) about living together and noted that Imam Sadiq (AS) said that there are five things that whoever does not have one of them will always be lacking in his life and his mind will be lost and his heart will be preoccupied: first, health, second, security, third, openness in livelihood, fourth, a harmonious companion. The narrator asked: Who is a harmonious companion? The Imam said: wife, children, and a good companion. And the fifth, which includes all of these, is prosperity and comfort.
Referring to the wisdom of marriage in Islam, Hojjat al-Islam Navvab said: creating peace and preventing social and moral corruption are among the wisdoms of marriage; because a man and a woman have an emotional need to each other, and the correct way to fulfill this emotional need is marriage, which brings mental health, spiritual peace, social role-playing, and a warm family center, and it brings the ability to have children, and there is no alternative. What others have gone is astray and ultimately, loneliness and alienation.
