you basically gota do the htings the right way - and if u havnt before, then get doin it quickly

but it is possible to be in love before the actual ceremony, otherwise why are you marrying?

but Love is not what your all thinking - phsyical attraction followed by dating etc.

you needa get clued up on what love really is, the sufi way 8)

I agree. Infact I think the love based on looks is lust. The one based on nothing but ideas of the other person is true love. That kind of stuff happens rarely to very few people. Dunno how any1 cud walk away from it?

unless the portrayed character seems to be fake.

Or the portrayed character is not one h other person is looking for.

u tell em-there's too many dodgy people with their dodgy thoughts about "love marraige" :roll:

ALquds — Wed, 19 Oct 2005 - 13:49

well all types of zeena is haram-eyes, ears etc b4 or after marriage... so if u commit zena in order to get to "fall in love" its haram... but after the nika is done the interactions between the couple become halal... bt the couple would have to rely on the mercy of Allah to have ther past haram forgiven.. they shoud do sincere tawba

Salam

I don't get the "illicit sex using the eyes" bit.

How can you bed a girl by just the eyes ?

Omrow

it doesn't have to be a releationship before the wedding. If you just speak to each other on a HALAL way. that is with mahram or through somebody else it would not be haram.

Otherwise How are you getting maried with someone you don't even know

The problem facing many young muslims is they think

'how can we marry someone we dont know' ?

therefore they prefer love marriages

Lol-I think there's something in between "blindly marrying a stranger that you don't know" and having a "haraam so called "love" relationship before marriage".

u get two extreme on this forum

the sad pathetic Romeo wannabe's

and them who advocate getting married to total strangers-people u dont know anything about

Islam is the middle way

Depends how you are "involved" with her.

khans1 — Fri, 21 Oct 2005 - 00:16

doesn't mean i say involved i mean something illicit we are seeing each other with intention of marriage, shudn't always think the worst in people

Maybe i was just tryin to understand your situation and if you didnt want advice then i dont knw why u posted...just by sayin how were you involved with the girl didnt automatically mean i assumed it was illicit..ppl do come here to get advice if they aint aint clued up on islam...no need to get worked up.

seeing as in a group of people, or alone?

If alone, you are not allwed to...

khans1 — Fri, 21 Oct 2005 - 00:29

true your right, i do believe in love marriage but its hard to know how to go about it in a proper halal way, even though i haven't touched this girl(if you know what i mean), i do realise its wrong of me to see her, so how does someone go about getting a balance in these type of situations?

Angel — Fri, 21 Oct 2005 - 00:31

You can meet the girl with family/friends around...you can go out together, but make sure sum1 is with you at all times, as it is said satan is the third company.

Sirus — Fri, 21 Oct 2005 - 00:32

speak to the parents

but you should stop seeing one on one until its done n dusted

khans1 — Fri, 21 Oct 2005 - 00:40

like i sed i know what you are saying but unfortunately i am still gonna see this girl, as long as we dont indulge in certain desires i'm hoping it will work out, its not easy as you make it out i'm not in a financial position to marry and i want to get my degree first, and then inshallah i'll box it off, but trust me i know what you're saying

Sirus — Fri, 21 Oct 2005 - 00:42

good look to ya bro

but jus remember, u do things according to how Allah SWT has prescribed, he will gaurentee things will work out

his gaurentee is far superior to yours or what your degree will give you or anyfin

If its like that, hy not get married now?

Frankly I do not understand this whole 'we will get arried 1year/2years/243years down the line'
You don't know what situation yo will be in then. If you wanna marry her, marry her. If not, take your leave off her.

equanimity — Fri, 21 Oct 2005 - 01:14

from what i gather khan has found his partner which he thinks he loves (sissy),
since they are already going out it will be too difficult to tell them to stop seeing each other completely , however he should not rush it i have many freinds who got married to qiuck and now in hardship.

my advice to you bro make the commitment to her , stay as freinds/companions only, get her and yourself into islam but when you completed your degree and settled down , marry her .

however i discourage love marriages , we should find partners the halal way according to islam
