"Can Our Christian / Muslim Marriages handle the Truth of our Spouses in 2014?" (2871 hits)


God willing, this Sunday, October 12, 2014 at 8:00 p.m. EST. please join your Marriage and Relationship Servants, Brother Marcus and Sister Cecelia, as we proudly welcome the Western Student Regional Representative of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, Brother Tony Muhammad and his lovely wife, Sister L'Tonya Muhammad, to the show to continue with Part 5 of their outstanding series! They will be addressing the topic of: "Can Our Christian / Muslim Marriages handle the Truth of our Spouses in 2014?"

Facebook link to this show: www.facebook.com/events/1560001650886260

Abstract: Telling your spouse the truth isn’t always easy – but you don’t have to do this alone. If you need help improving the honesty in your relationship or addressing some of these bigger issues you and your spouse should listen into this very important and timely show. How important is the truth in your marriage? Doesn't your spouse deserve to know who they are married to? Is it fair to waste their time or to take away their right to decide how they want to respond to the tough issues that the marriage is bringing out? Should we ask questions of our spouse that we really don’t want truthful answers to? In this show we would like to open the phone lines to hear the "wins" that both Christian and Muslim couples are experiencing in their marriages all over America after following the guidance and wisdom that Student Minister Tony Muhammad has been sharing on our show from the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan over the last four weeks! How have these shows helped your marriage? Have the shows presented you or your spouse with any misunderstood words or concepts that you would like further understanding of?

So here is all of the homework from the last few weeks for you and your spouse to review before the show:

***** Homework 1 *****

This assignment will allow us to align our minds with the mind of God and His servants as the source-points that will aid us in our viewpoint of the understanding of marriage.

Part One
Use a good dictionary (not a small pocket dictionary or thesaurus). Locate the definition that applies to the context. Be sure to read the other definitions for understanding. Locate the derivation of the word as to become familiar with its original source as this helps with the original definition of the word.

Define the following words, according to Quran, Bible, Hadith, THEM, and THMLF. From these sources, write your viewpoint of the definition.

1. Purpose
2. Marriage
3. Husband
4. Wife
Part Two
Read 1st Corinthians 11:3. Define the words and write your viewpoint.

Read Surah 33:35. Define the following:
1. Submit
2. Believing
3. Obeying
4. Truthful
5. Patient
6. Humble
7. Charitable
8. Fasting
9. Chaste / chastity
10. Remember
11. Forgive
12. Reward

Be able to answer this question, "What is God's purpose for marriage?"

After defining the words marriage, husband and wife, go to the index of the Holy Quran, locate each word and read the verses of each of the Surahs associated with each word.

***** Homework 2 *****

This week's assignment comes from, The Religion of Islam, by Maulana Muhammad Ali. As with the previous assignment, be sure to define each word with which you are not familiar, and use the definition that applies. You can download the entire book for free by going to:

www.facebook.com/groups/thebrothermarcusandsisterceceliashow/files/

Read the following titled sections and write a brief summary of your viewpoint:
Pages 445-6 "Importance of the Marriage Institution"
Pages 446-7 "Marriage as the union of two natures which are one in their essence"
Page 447 "Multiplication of the human race through Marriage"
Page 448 "Feelings of love and service developed through marriage"
Pages 478-9 "A division of work"
Page 480 "Rights of Husband and Wife"
Page 481 "Stress laid on kind treatment toward wife"
Please discuss with your Wife / Husband or your Courtship partner.
We are looking forward to hearing of your "Wins" and whether or not this helps you with your understanding of yourself and the institution of Marriage.
