28 about oneself should be clearly stated so that there is nothing that can create mistrust later on. And most of all, do not consider this world everything. What you should have in view is that after spending this transitory life, once y ears of youth are spent and one enters old age , one is not so inclined to the world anymore. Youth is also short - lived and is a time when one can fulfil worldly desires as much as one wants. Even if one lives to old age beyond 70 or 80 years, life in the H ereafter is everlasting and Allah the Exalted commands us to be mindful of life in the Hereafter. If th ese matters are instilled in us and are instilled in our relationships, mistrust would never arise, relationships would never break, there would be no co nflicts and people would be caring and sensitive to each other’s feelings. These new relationships should always be mindful of these matters and the Jama’at should particularly be mindful of them. There was a time we used to say there are a lot of marriage breakups in the European society, the Western society. The cause of these breakups is mistrust alone; husband and wife develop mistrust after some years and it leads to breakups. ’ (Published in Al Fazl International, 21 September 2012)
