Words of Wisdom

Assalamu 'alaykum,

For those who know our beloved Sheikh Haitham well , will know of some of the strange/sad/depressing and the outright ridiculous cases of people's marriages that he has to deal with (as he works for the Shariah court of UK).

Many of these cases involve young practising brothers and sisters trying to find a way to get married after falling into much fitnah and at times zina (Yes, Zina. etc) whilst their parents are against the idea. As well as requests for divorces etc. After mentioning some of these cases he said the following:

إذا انقضت الشهوة
ذهبت السكرة
جاءت الفكرة

"Once the desire has ceased, the intoxication will go, and then thinking will begin."
I say: Think first, then let the rest come. (!!!!)
Wassalamu 'alaykum.
