Men are divorcing but they don't want to marry divorcees! Men are dying yet the ones who are alive don't want to marry widows, who will marry your own widow after your death?

*Umar bin khattab said,*
*If Allah should grant me a long life, I will make sure that NO widow in iraq will need any man to support her* Unfortunately, Umar ibn Khattab radiAllahu anhu was stabbed in salah just four days after he made that great statement.
During the time of the companions, widows and divorcees in madina would be bombarded with proposals after their iddah periods, its as if people were helping them to calculate it.
The proposals would be much that they would be in a dilemma as to which one to choose, so they were not made to feel like they were burdens or liabilities to the society!
Today, the fear of poverty and the weakness in our tawakkul makes us abandon our sisters to themselves!
Some men would not even accept the proposal of widows/divorcees even at gun point.
To the people who have firm reliance in Allah, recession is just a word! May Allah ease the affairs of the widows and divorcees.
