If you ever get the opportunity in life to choose a life partner, do not make only the brightness and glow of the face your criterion. Beauty pleases the eyes, but it is temperament and character that sustain life. Give preference to a person who is understanding, who knows the difference between right and wrong. One who knows what things bring you happiness and what things hurt your heart, and who also makes an effort to improve their habits. One who keeps religion alive not just in words but in practice as well. One who is serious about prayer, the Quran, and the Sunnah themselves, and gently keeps reminding you of this path as well. One who knows the value of a relationship, and guards both their gaze and heart. One whose character is strong, who cannot be misled by people's talk, and who considers loyalty not a burden but their responsibility. The real point is that if the decision is ever in your hands, look beyond outward appearances. Because when there is a choice, the selection is made thoughtfully, and when there is no choice, a person often remains empty despite carrying a lot in their heart.
