Some Muslims, influenced by the kuffar, have put forth the idea that marriage in Islam can be similar to modern concepts of dating. This is a fallacy, because the institution of dating itself is fundamentally wasteful. Using excess resources to play around for years, following your desires, is a sign of a society lost in wastefulness.

Children fill a vital social, psychological, and economic role in a healthy society. They provide entertainment, exercise, and if they are raised right, they are economically productive from a young age. The process of helping with household and community labor is an excellent form of education, and working together in a family setting also builds bonds of kinship and enhances love and appreciation between family members.

Most of the growth of the American economy since the 1970’s has been in services. A large portion of this is comprised of education, day care, social services, entertainment, and mental health treatment. The collective value of these services is in the hundreds of billions of dollars. This is the real value of children in society, because in traditional societies, many of these functions are filled by children. In most cases, this labor is not measured, so according to Western economic thought the societies with the smallest families and the least family integrity are labeled as ‘rich’, while those with the large, healthy families are called ‘poor.’

Shifting the perception of value out of the family and into the formal economy is one of the sources from which fiat currency, which has no commodity value, derives its value. In other words, fiat currency is an illusion whose power is drawn from destroying families. All of this is done in order to maintain a Satanic world order, whereby power can be drained from all of humanity and concentrated in the hands of a sociopathic elite.

These elites are known for their involvement in so-called “secret societies” or initiatic orders, like the Masons or the Bohemian Grove, that are known for their use of magical rituals. Interestingly, the destruction of families is fundamentally linked to sorcery, and this link is described in the Quran, where Allah describes the origin of sorcery in Babylon.

وَٱتَّبَعُوا۟ مَا تَتۡلُوا۟ ٱلشَّیَـٰطِینُ عَلَىٰ مُلۡكِ سُلَیۡمَـٰنَۖ وَمَا كَفَرَ سُلَیۡمَـٰنُ وَلَـٰكِنَّ ٱلشَّیَـٰطِینَ كَفَرُوا۟ یُعَلِّمُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ ٱلسِّحۡرَ وَمَاۤ أُنزِلَ عَلَى ٱلۡمَلَكَیۡنِ بِبَابِلَ هَـٰرُوتَ وَمَـٰرُوتَۚ وَمَا یُعَلِّمَانِ مِنۡ أَحَدٍ حَتَّىٰ یَقُولَاۤ إِنَّمَا نَحۡنُ فِتۡنَةࣱ فَلَا تَكۡفُرۡۖ فَیَتَعَلَّمُونَ مِنۡهُمَا مَا یُفَرِّقُونَ بِهِۦ بَیۡنَ ٱلۡمَرۡءِ وَزَوۡجِهِۦۚ وَمَا هُم بِضَاۤرِّینَ بِهِۦ مِنۡ أَحَدٍ إِلَّا بِإِذۡنِ ٱللَّهِۚ وَیَتَعَلَّمُونَ مَا یَضُرُّهُمۡ وَلَا یَنفَعُهُمۡۚ وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمُوا۟ لَمَنِ ٱشۡتَرَىٰهُ مَا لَهُۥ فِی ٱلۡءَاخِرَةِ مِنۡ خَلَـٰقࣲۚ وَلَبِئۡسَ مَا شَرَوۡا۟ بِهِۦۤ أَنفُسَهُمۡۚ لَوۡ كَانُوا۟ یَعۡلَمُونَ

And they followed [instead] what the devils had recitedduring the reign of Solomon. It was not Solomon who disbelieved, but the devils disbelieved, teaching people magic and that which was revealed to the two angels at Babylon, Harut and Marut. But the two angels do not teach anyone unless they say, “We are a trial, so do not disbelieve [by practicing magic].” And [yet] they learn from them that by which they cause separation between a man and his wife. But they do not harm anyone through it except by permission of Allah. And the people learn what harms them and does not benefit them. But the Children of Israel certainly knew that whoever purchased the magic would not have in the Hereafter any share. And wretched is that for which they sold themselves, if they only knew.

2:102

Marrying and having children young is not only healthier for couples, it’s also an important responsibility to the community, because children provide value to the entire ummah. Western ‘dating,’ by contrast, is primarily about individualistic personal gratification.

Every year of reproductive potential wasted is a disservice to society, unless there is a higher aim being served, like seeking Islamic knowledge or otherwise benefiting the community. If there is a religious, righteous spouse available, the ideal is for men to marry as soon as they have the means, and women as soon as or slightly before they reach reproductive age. And this is the sunnah and the way of the sahaba, radhi Allahu anhum. Who willingly leaves this path because they believe adopting the educational customs of the kuffar will bring them honor and strength has been deceived by Satan.

یَقُولُونَ لَىِٕن رَّجَعۡنَاۤ إِلَى ٱلۡمَدِینَةِ لَیُخۡرِجَنَّ ٱلۡأَعَزُّ مِنۡهَا ٱلۡأَذَلَّۚ وَلِلَّهِ ٱلۡعِزَّةُ وَلِرَسُولِهِۦ وَلِلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ وَلَـٰكِنَّ ٱلۡمُنَـٰفِقِینَ لَا یَعۡلَمُونَ

And to Allah belongs [all] honor, and to His Messenger, and to the believers, but the hypocrites do not know.

63:8

This is one reason it is unwise to leave countries like Somalia, Yemen, and Afghanistan for the filth of England or America. The structure of the lifestyle in these polytheistic societies makes it very difficult to marry early, leading to excessive delays in marriage. As a result, those who stay away from zina suffer, which can make the religion seem like a burden rather than a blessing.

The structure of these societies is such that it distorts, perverts, and inverts natural tendencies, such as the process of conceiving and raising children, rather than giving them wholesome and appropriate outlets. The haram is made easy, and the halal difficult.

This is a recipe for mass apostasy, which is exactly what we see among the Muslims in the West, and in areas heavily affected by the Western lifestyle. May Allah guide and protect all who have a sincere love of the Truth in their hearts.
