Actions are judged by their intentions, and your intention must be to worship Allah. Focus on rectifying your relationship with Allah first, and once you're on that path, ask Him to bless you with marriage. If you do acts of worship merely for the sake of marriage, it becomes a lose-lose situation: you compromise your relationship with Allah, which ultimately affects everything else in your life.\\n\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9ff20b76658b4c2329d9","tag":"Worship: Intention","count":103},{"_id":"668da0320b76658b4c2330a7","tag":"Worship: Tazkiyyah","count":87},{"_id":"668d9fdf0b76658b4c2327a6","tag":"Marriage: Pre-Marriage","count":68}],"createdOn":"2026-01-29T14:18:03.156Z"}
