Do we really know what is the true meaning of 'Lillahita'ala'?
Whenever we perform the solah we will always end the niat with "Lillahita'ala" or 'for Allah'.
But do we really know what it means and that everything that a Muslim does has to be for the sake of Allah. We 'love for Allah', 'hate for Allah', 'work for Allah', 'live for Allah' etc. But are we really practising this? I know it's difficult as a humble and weak person to be on par with the Sahabat, what more Rasulullah himself. But are we actually trying or do we keep denying the pratices just cause it's easier or difficult for us.
Whatever Allah has commanded straight up,we have to do. No questions asked! But why are majority of us still act as if it is okay to overlook this rules that He has set for us. Don't you know that it will bring more good than bad if we just follow them?
What if I said I wanted to marry now, at age 21 to a girl 2 years my junior. Both of us still schooling and don't have a proper job? Will my parents give the green light or will they tell me not to be rediculous? Which is better (or worse), falling to Maksiat vs Early Marriage? I hope that we can weigh out the pros and cons of this two things. Even if an early marriage seem to have more cons especially in a copetitive ebvironment in Singapore, Islam has set up reasonable options for the young couples to make their relationship Halal yet they can still live the life as normal youngsters.
Again I want to bring you back to the niat, "Lillahhita'ala". Why so scared to marry early if our niat is to have the blessings (redha) of Allah and not to fall into his Hell Fire.
Take a look at this 2 verses from the Quran and take time to think about it.
"Marry those among you who are single, or the virtuous ones among yourselves, male or female: if they are in poverty, Allah will give them means out of His grace..." {24:32}
"And come not near unto adultery: for it is a shameful (deed) and an evil, opening the road (to other evils)." {17:32}
I'm not saying that marriage is the only solution. However if the couple have been in a relationship and especially if it's quite a seious one. They could just break the relationship off totally or continue the silaturrahim with the family of in-laws. Afterall, Islam promotes and encourages sillaturahim amongst people especailly Muslims.
So again I ask, what's holding us back?

Gatal kau ni, kalau masih bersekolah tu belajar je la dengan sebaiknya. Kan elok ayat Al quran tu digandingkan dengan ayat kewajipan lelaki menjaga wanita. Ambil isi Alquran sepenuhnya, jangan ceduk sana sini. Hanya untuk menghiburkan keperluan sendiri, kawin ni hal besar yang melibatkan bukan pasangan tu sahaja. Mak bapa isteri, adik beradik dia , saudara mara dia, jiran jiran dia, barulah ada berkah. Ini cerita nak kawin macam semudah petik buah yang dah masak dari pokok yang dah usang. Peduli apa sama itu pokok. What's holding you back? the answer is "Responsible and wise parenting from the girl's side and from you side" If it is left to your judgement, Habislah ayat Quran tu kena petik macam tali gitar nak ikutkan bunyi irama nafsu kau tu.
Mampus kau di marahi hahahahahaha
