The statement was heavily influenced by religious/spiritual aspects as Hamza stated, “You look at your life and realise that many things you do that give you pleasure are the same things which cause displeasure to your Lord.”
The insinuation that marriage should not be a product of love continued as his narrative suggests, “Some people get married for themselves because either they fall in love or because their lonely or maybe because of family or to have kids, these are also good reasons, but believe me when your sole reason is to please Allah..”
