An Islamic Cleric, Sheikh Shuaib Agbarere, has advised Muslims faithful to prioritise piety and religion in choosing their spouses.
Agbarere gave the advice on Sunday in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on the sidelines of a weekly Ramadan lecture organised by the Al-Habibiyyah Islamic Society in Abuja.
He noted that, ‘’It is important for Muslim to marry a woman who devotes to religious practices. If you marry a religious woman, you have married the most beautiful woman.
“If you marry a religious woman, you have married the richest woman. Therefore, tell your children to prioritise piety and religion while going into marriage.

” Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said a woman is married for four reasons: for her wealth, her status, her beauty, and her religion.
” However, he (prophet Muhammad) advised that we should go for a religious woman.”
The cleric noted that all the socioeconomic and security challenges bedeviling the country could be addressed if the couple got right marriage. (NAN)
