In this age of filters and followers, marriage has become gold-plated on social media shiny on the outside, but often hollow within. People chase aesthetics over values, matching outfits over matching souls, and forget that a righteous heart is worth more than a million dreamy posts. It’s not about marrying someone with endless Islamic quotes on their feed, but someone who fears Allah when no one is watching. Someone who may know only a little of the deen, but lives by it with sincerity, humility, and discipline that person is a treasure in this time of fitnah. We’re living in a world where privacy is rare, modesty is mocked, and DMs are filled with casual chats with non-mahrams, disguised as “just friends.” Instagram has become a trap—highlight reels hiding real struggles, likes replacing values, and halal boundaries crossed in the name of connection.
