When the sun sinks behind the distant clouds and the world is hanging
by the threads of twilight ; I can look beyond everything else and see
your beautiful eyes clearly , and no matters that i have
never seen you before, i can recognize your kind heart and unique soul
from any human being , i will find your face in a crowded street
and from the first sight i will understand that it is you my love , the
one i was waiting for all my life, and in the same way i will recognize
your letter from thousands of others because when people meant to be
together the destiny help them to find each other .

I was fortunate to participate in one of the marriage telecasts with Sh. Yasir and the questions were illuminating, to say the least! I would like to ask Sh. Yasir what his thoughts are on young people getting married and using birth control while they finish their education. I know this is a touchy subject but it is something that concerns young Muslimahs - it's all very well saying that you should stipulate that you finish your education after you marry but it is all a much of a muchness if you fall pregnant a few days after getting married (!) Just thought I would introduce that one! Oh, and another thing, what are the Shari' implications if the couple who have had nikah but end up consumating due to desires etc. Do they have to then have a waleemah? How does it change their status? Just curious... Wasalaam Umm Ibrahim Asalaamu alaikum warahmatullah

I would like to ask Sh. Yasir what his thoughts are on young people getting married and using birth control while they finish their education. I know this is a touchy subject but it is something that concerns young Muslimahs – it’s all very well saying that you should stipulate that you finish your education after you marry but it is all a much of a muchness if you fall pregnant a few days after getting married (!)

Just curious…

I'm finishing off my MA in experiemental psychology and would be interested in hearing more about your results, as it is a truly facinating topic. I'm also interested in the work on couples, marriage and family and am curious if anyone is doing any research studies on this topic. I believe that well designed surveys and statistical analyses can help to get a good picture of the social concerns of our community. Also, the data gleaned from these studies can help experts to design appropriate interventions that can be taylored to the needs of our community. Salaams, MD Tasneem–
