Salam for you.For the sake of Allah means that all of our good doings should be intented for the benefir of Allah. It means also that we do not need rewards from Allah for those deeds.We surrender to Allah because Allah knows the best.It means also as ikhlash. or lillahi ta ala.

We could not do bad doing for the sake of Allah.We get married for the sake of Allah means that we should accept your wife as given by Allah

Allah has made a decision who is each person spouse,although we do not know and do not realize it..Marriage is Islam is filling part of eeman (faith),because by marriage we will be avoided to make zinah or adultery which is not allowed.It does not mean that we do not have to like the related personAllah has stated in the qur'an that Allah give a spouse for loving each other in making a happiness in the family.We must give and take tolerance between husband and wife because there is not perfect man and woman.

Answer 5

Allah (SWT) accepts good deeds only if it is done for His sake i.e. your intention for doing the good deed should be pure. The sincere Muslim seeks to earn the pleasure of Allah in everything that he does. He is not concerned with seeking the approval of others, and indeed be may incur the wrath and hatred of people in the course of his efforts to win devine favour, as the Prophet (peace be upon him) said:



"Whoever seeks the pleasure of Allah at the risk of displeasing the people, Allah will take care of him and protect him from them. But whoever seeks the pleasure of the people at the risk of angering Allah, Allah will abandon him to the care of the people."

Consequently, he measures all his dees against his desire to attain the pleasure of Allah, and will retain or discard any practice accordingly. Thus the Muslim will have appropriate standars, and the streight Path will be clearly sign posted for him. He will avoid falling to rediculous contadictions whereby he obeys Allah in one matter and disobeys Him in another, or he regards something as halaal (legal) one year and haram (illegal) the next. There is no room for contradiction as long as the standars are correct and the principles are sound.



Allah (SWT) does not command to marry the person you do not like. Further, it does that mean u don't have to like the person u marry, just tolerate him.

"Pete was originally St. Peter! What is the origin/menaing For Pete's Sake? : From the archives: : Biblical origins. Think of St Peter. Think of the omnipresent medieval church and think of hitting your thumb with a hammer. You can't swear, else the local priests will have you up before the Bishop and the Lord alone knows what the outcome of that will be, so you exclaim, in appropriate tone of voice, "For Saint Peter's sake" and carry on erecting the shelves. This phrase was amended to "For Pete's Sake" in later, less religiously oppressive, times. : This is called a "Minced oath," a substitution of a less offensive word. FOR PETE'S SAKE - The phrase is simply a polite version of a common and profane expression involving the name of Christ. We'd surmise that the original 'Pete' was St. Peter." From "Morris Dictionary of Word and Phrase Origins" by William and Mary Morris. Substituting less offensive words - like Godfrey Daniel for the other GD - is called a minced oath.

Answer 7

When one does something good for Allah SWT above ones own desires. For example giving Zakat. We give money for Allahs SWT will.No it doesn't mean marry someone you don't like. It means marry someone and live according to Islam. Arranged marriages often begin with love and respect of Allah SWT first. Then grows for each other over time.

Answer 8

Asalamualikum ... for the sake of Allah means ... that for Allah .. to please Allah. Islam says to marry the person u like .. or atleast u want to get married with .. no one can force you to get married with someone you don't want to or else marriage is not valid. :)



May Allah (swt) guide u and bless u.



Peace, Masalam.



Edit: hey who thumb down es ay ar ay .. she has a great answer .. come on people ..

Answer 9

When referring to an action, it means doing that act soley for the Pleasure of Allaah and not seeking any fame or praise from the people. It could also be an act that requires great personal sacrifice, but because of one's love for Allaah, that personal sacrifice is not too difficult.





When you love another person for the Sake of Allaah, it means you love someone because they are obedient to Allaah and because it may be that Allaah loves that person. You love that person for His sake, not because of that person's money, family, lineage, personal favors, physical appearance, nationality, or any other materialistic reason.



Getting married for the Sake of Allaah could refer to someone getting married because they really want to be a better Muslim (and not just getting married for status or money or physical pleasure). In Islaamic marriage, love is a condition (note: I am not referring to lust and dating in Islaam is not allowed). A person cannot be forced into marriage with someone they don't want to marry.



So doing something for the Sake of Allaah puts emphasis on the act being done seeking Allaah's Pleasure and not for lowly, trivial reasons.

Answer 10

What do you mean by For the sake of Allah .

You have used it right to Please Allah or in the way of Allah .

No, in the marriage case it is up to you . that is a wrong use but if you can forgive some one's mistake it will please Allah , And Allah's Lovers

Answer 11

Since Islam is a way of life, everything you do is a part of submitting yourself for the sake of Allah (swt). Every little ounce of blessing you receive, you thank Allah (swt) for it, and every little ounce of misfortune you run across in life, you ask Allah (swt) to help you out of it. Loving someone for the sake of Allah (swt) is basically enjoining yourself with another person who shares the same values as you do, and together, you strive towards maintaining a Halal, meaningful marriage and relationship for the sake of Allah (swt). Where will you go wrong when you do something for the sake of Allah (swt)? His commandments are all reasonable, and benefiting to our lives. That's precisely why Islam is a way of life for us Muslims.

Answer 12

It just mean's like "For God's sake"



you know how people say that...but Allah is for Muslims

Answer 13

You do something because God requires it of you - and you know in this action He would be pleased - and you are careful not to make it "showy" otherwise your intent becomes questionable; or



You avoid something that would displease God because you are concerned about the consequences of disobedience or indulging in something that incurs displeasure thereby avoiding a punishment; or



You do something that would please God because you know it is a good act and in the hope of a reward from Him alone.

Answer 14

It's like when my Catholic Grandma say's "For God Sakes, eat your dinner!" which means "If for nobody else, eat your dinner for God." lol



And she says it to my little cousins, not I. lol





Allah=God, basically



In fact we believe in a common God so it really is the same.



That phrase is used when someone doesn't want to do something, so someone puts it on God. Like saying ______ needs to be done for God.

Answer 15
