YOGYAKARTA Choosing a partner is indeed a complicated thing. If when determining a partner is not based on caution, it is feared that something bad will happen at weddings and at home. Fortunately, Islam has guidance regarding this matter. Muslims who are looking for a partner need to know how to choose a mate according to Islam.

As is known, choosing a pious husband will help build the basic foundation for household life. Likewise choosing a pious wife will be a sedative for the husband and be the controller of all aspects in the household. It is very important to really consider the criteria for choosing a mate according to Islamic teachings.

In the study entitled Choosing Ideal Couples in the Perspective of Al-Misbah Interpretation in the Journal of Al-Qur'an Sciences and Al-Tadabbur Interpretation, it is explained that the way to choose a mate is to consider the following things.

The first criterion that must be considered when determining a mate, whether a future wife or husband, is choosing a single one. This criterion is as explained in QS. An-Nbar: 32 is as follows.

You can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it.

Meaning:

And marry the people who are alone between you and those who deserve to marry from your male legitimate servants with your female legitimate servants. If they are poor, God willing, they will enable them with His grace. Allah Swt is Extensive and Most Knowing.

Teachings of Islam prohibit their people from choosing prospective couples who are musyrik. They may be married after believing in Allah SWT. This is as explained in QS. Al-Baqarah: the following 221.

You can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't.

Meaning:

"And don't marry musyrik women before they believe. Indeed, Muslim women who believe are better than musyrik women, even though they attract your love. And don't marry musyrik people (with Muslim women) before they believe. Indeed, male martyrs who believe are better than musyrik people, even though they attract their love. They invite their love to hell, while Allah invites to heaven and forgiveness with His permission. And Allah explains His verses to humans so that they take lessons."
