Asalaamu Alaikum guys and welcome to Smile2jannah.
Today we'll be discussing some of the main reasons why people
have such lavish weddings
and my mum will be featured in this episode too
Oh God
Parents really want to use this opportunity to
show the community how well-off they are
and how well they've done. Yeah, because
it's moments like this, a perfect opportunity to show off to people mate
because the more money you're pumping in mate
the more people are gonna be like
wow, ahhhhh, ooo
And then people wonder where the evil eye comes from mate
it comes from moments like this
where you're flashing the cash and you got nothing to back it up
When we're kids mate, watching all that bollywood Tosh
Lollywood Dollywood Nollywood
whatever Wood that you guys have
Asians grow up with Bollywood and anytime there's a wedding mate,
it's madness yeah. It just looks mad
even in Hollywood the weddings are well expensive mate
so since you're a kid, we're seeing it constantly in the media
and then when it comes time for us to get married, we're most likely gonna
follow the same route then isn't it?
People probably love the attention.
It's the one day in your life probably
that everyone's coming just because of you
everyone's dressed to impresses just for you
you're gonna be getting gifts, you're gonna be getting money
you're gonna be getting people
who are coming to your wedding that you don't really
want there that just come to complain for the food even though you
spend loads of money on it.
And of course people are gonna be mad at you because
you didn't invite them to the wedding because you don't really know them well
enough, you see them casually every now and then and you don't want to be
spending 30 quid on someone that you only say "Hi" to once a year
#4: Parents equate lavishness to love
Somehow certain parents think the more
money you spend is equated to the more you love your kids or the more you love
the wife you're about to get married to
That's messed up thinking mate
Everyone's doing it
So you don't want to break away from the crowd
everyone's doing it therefore you feel
more comfortable doing it as well mate you're just gonna end up doing it
The most important journey is the marriage
not the wedding day. So if Allahs helped you get married.
Why on earth... when everybodys there and it's time
for you to big up Allah, why is it that people do the exact opposite?
You want Allah to bless your marriage, what are you doing about it?
You have a minute dua when the Imam comes in and you just take the music down
he comes and does the nikah,
and then he's not even out the door and you start pumping up the music
Mad. What are the chances of that dua being accepted mate?
I'll sin on this day... how come it's just one day
Just one day?
Well just one drop of poison will be enough to kill you
Until next time guys... Asalaamu Alaikum
