Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Short Stories Choosing A Wife Seeing that his mother was in a good mood, Ahmad sat near her and said, 'Mother, I have an idea which should bring you much joy.” His mother answered eagerly, "My son, all that you give me makes me happy. What is on your mind?” “You know," he told her, "I have finished my studies and can afford to begin a family. I have decided to marry." His mother's face brightened with a smile. "This is very good news!

I have long awaited such a day,” she told him. "How often I have wished you would marry one of your cousins. Praise is to Allah that you have made this decision before it is too late!." Ahmad exclaimed, "Before it's too late? What do you mean?" "Your cousin Maryam is now old enough to marry. Every day there is someone visiting her home, seeking her hand." Ahmad sat silently for a moment and said, “Then why should we bother her suitors?" “What do you mean, Ahmad?" asked his mother, dismayed.

"My cousin Maryam is not fit for me.” "Why not? No my son, you’re mistaken. I shall go and see about your engagement tomorrow," his mother told him. Ahmad frowned and said, “No, mother. Please do not do such a thing. I will not agree to this.” "When she becomes your fiancée, you will feel love for her. Put aside your fears. Maryam is beautiful, and she has a respectable job." Ahmad disagreed, “No.

This matter only concerns me." Ahmad's mother thought for a moment and said, “If you dislike Maryam, then there's my brother's daughter. She is as beautiful as Maryam, and she has inherited a large sum of money from my brother. "Mother, please think about this matter from my point of view. I need someone to share my life, not a business partner.” His mother became angry and sharply asked, “What's wrong with my niece?

Why isn't she good enough to be your wife?” Ahmad replied, “She is not a practicing Muslim. I want a Muslim wife." Ahmad's mother laughed sarcastically and said, "You speak as if you were an angel who could only marry another angel. Why don't you stop saying such nonsense, my son? You are an educated young man; you should give up your impossible ideals.” “I am neither an angel, nor do I seek a saint for a wife. I am a Muslim believer looking for a girl who also believes in Islam." replied Ahmad.
