Question: In
the west, on the one hand, there is unbridled freedom and on the other,
the rules for marriage are so intricate that people establish matrimonial
relationship without formal marriage and endeavour to fulfill it throughout
their entire lives. Does Islam provide any solution to this problem?
Answer: Amongst
the crucial mistakes of the western civilization, one mistake is swerving
from the nature on which the Almighty has created man regarding family
life. I think that if we present our stance properly and on the basis of
arguments, the west will definitely lend an ear. Just as we should accept
its experiences, affably, regarding collective life and consider its resplendent
aspects our lost treasure, in a similar manner we expect from the west
that it should come out of the psychology of reaction and get prepared
to listen to us in this matter.
