A wise brother wrote this amazingly thoughtful comments on my one post regarding Halal marriage and Haram Relationship. So, I want to post this comment with his due consent that other wise brother and sister can reflect on this.

"There is truth in this statement, especially in the time we live in.

Many people have made halal marriage unnecessarily difficult with excessive demands, social pressure, luxury expectations, expensive weddings, unrealistic standards, and endless “requirements,” while haram relationships are made easy, casual, and socially normalized.

Yet the human soul naturally inclines toward what gives immediate pleasure and excitement, even if it is harmful in the long run. That is why people often fall into haram more easily than halal. The Prophet S.A.W already explained this reality:
“Paradise is surrounded by hardships, and Hellfire is surrounded by desires.”

Meaning the soul is usually attracted to desires first, while discipline and lawful commitment require patience, sacrifice, and responsibility.

A haram relationship often demands little responsibility:

i.no accountability,

ii.no family involvement,

iii.no long-term commitment,

iv.no financial responsibility,

V.no real sacrifice.

But halal marriage comes with duty, leadership, patience, mercy, provision, compromise, and accountability before Allah.

Naturally, many people run toward what is easy for the nafs (the soul).

At the same time, society has also contributed to the problem:

i.Some families make marriage feel like a business transaction.

ii.Some people care more about status than character and deen.

iii.Social media has increased unrealistic expectations.

iv.Simplesunnah marriages are now mocked while extravagant ceremonies are praised.

Meanwhile, zina and casual relationships are promoted everywhere as “freedom” and “love.”

Islam, however, made marriage simple and honorable. The Prophet S.A.W encouraged marrying for deen and character, not for endless worldly standards. Some of the best marriages in Islamic history were simple but full of barakah.

That said, not every marriage challenge is “materialistic.” Some people are cautious because marriage is a serious lifelong responsibility. Compatibility, emotional maturity, financial stability, safety, and character also matter. So balance is important.
The solution is not to normalize haram because halal feels difficult.

The solution is to return to the Islamic balance:

simplify marriage,

reduce unnecessary cultural burdens,

*prioritize deen and character,
and remember that barakah is more important than luxury.

Because many people today are delaying halal while emotionally exhausting themselves in haram situations that often give temporary pleasure but long-term damage.

May S.W.T save this Ummah against fitnah ,guides us to the right path and choose for us best spouses. Ameeeeeeeeeen.''

We need to change our mentality and get out of materialistic desire in marriage and make it simple according to Sunnah. Our Beloved Prophet PBUH has made marriage simplest if we follow Him accordingly.

Salaams everyone, anyone looking for a chat and see where it may lead to?
