celibates have but a small role to play in true spiritual guidance. Therefore,
the Prophet’s statement was both a philosophical tease and challenge.
Unfortunately, New World Order Satanists, Illuminists, Universalists, New
Age Holists, Perennialists et. alia. have successfully degraded mankind
globally by doing everything possible to destroy Islam’s Deen by disrupting
the pristine institution of marriage as well as any cognition of As-Sakkinah
and Taqua that pertain to the Orthodox Patriarchal Family of Hanif
Monotheism.^53
According to the definition of deen presented, marriage is the divinely
ordained institution wherein a person’s Islam is tried and perfected, which is
why asceticism is anathema to Islam because without marriage, and with very
few exceptions, taqua cannot be practiced let alone perfected for the majority
of mankind. Why is this so? Because marriage and the family thus generated
is the place in which Islam is purposely designed by Allah to be practiced and
perfected. Hence, single people who venture into the community as dakwah
cum social workers or political leaders not only lack true authorization but
are only half prepared for the task no matter how many years they have
studied Islam. Such knowledge banks as these carry lack the wisdom gained
from first-hand experience of all that is implied-by and attendant-to the
connubial touch of marriage, which, as I shall demonstrate, has everything to
do with trust, faith, relevant knowledge born of experience and the very real
essence of covenant keeping.
Therefore, if marriage is half the deen and family and community is the other
half wherein we learn the deen of Islam, it behooves us to learn about the
other-half of the marital partnership in order to approach the toll booth at
death and pay the levy acceptably.
