Any reverts/converts to Islam from teenagers? (OP)
It is a curisotry to me, if young adult women/men convert to islam, then it is possible for teenagers as well . So anyone here converted to islam from ages 16+?
The Possibilities in Islam are limitless.

I dont get why you seem so against it, I mean I understand some of your points but what did daffodil quote? and who knows better??
There is nothing wrong with marriage at a the old age of 15 and so forth, depeding on how the child is brought up.
If a child is brought up in the way that he or she is told and made to think that he or she is a child until 18 then of course most of those kids will not be mentally mature to handle responsabilities, but if a child is brought up thinking of the Akhira, understanding Islam, being told the word of our Beloved Prophet peace be upon him and the words of the Qu'ran then inshallah most children brought up in such manner will understand that marriage is an important part of Islam, and will have no problem in maturing, provided they are brought up properly, and not spoiled with toys and being told 'awww my little baby, dont worry mumy is gona take care of everything' at the age of 15 then boy inshallah they will grow and be beautiful caring people like the people of old.
Also with regards to supporting the wife, if financial strain is there then there are ways to cope, for example if we have a couple who are both 16 and they are in school, who would support them if they were single? Their parents, so if they marry, which will help them lower their gaze and so forth, then their parents inshallah if they truly understand the benefit of marriage will be able to provide for them as they did before until a suitable income is found for both, we need not make problems just because we dont like an idea. That is jus one option there are others too.
Finally, with regards to maybe not understanding why its difficult, I dont know what girls are like but guys can be drive alot by physical desire, which does not just constitute of sexual activity but also of companionship, making the boy wait can make things worse in some cases, and of course it will be his sin and his fault, but why make things difficult when Islam has provided a way out for our youth.
The path is long but I hope we meet,
After the grave and the Day, in paradise in bliss upon a reclined seat.

No by no means make things difficult, whatever Allah (SWT) wills it will be..but here in the UK I think its all a bit different. I dont mean to be argumentitive...I just think for people in different countries...yeah its fine...but am...im talking within the UK itz harder, so does that mean at 14...or whatever...sex takes place and all? oooooo mad!!lol
Here's my thought. If a person can have a girlfreind and study and sleep around with women and still study, why can't a muslim man get marry and ... e.t.c (you know) with his wife, and study and bring a career out of it. Heck they both can study and have a career.
I have student who are mothers, fathers, husband, wife who are studying in my uni, and are responsible.
I don't know this brother who is planning to get married at 14. but most 14 year olds (like myself) are not quite ready for the responsibility of marriage. Most 14 year olds aren't even able to take care of themselves.
Just because the arabs at the time of the Prophet SAW got married young, doesn't mean that we have to get married at the same age. the prophet SAW said to marry when you reached the age of responsibility and maturity, whenever you feel you are responsibile enough for marriage, then get married.
I am 14 as well, and I am not responsible at ALL! so marriage is the last thing on my mind right now.
in general being 14 and getting married at this time, is not a good idea.
Yeah.... ma'shallah Zohair well said...but I do have a wee sister available u can take her off my hands as soon as u like lol....SERIOUS! What Im getn from this is to marry...so the boy can have sex...so he no longer has to fight temtation! I dont think theres anything wrong with mothering your son or daughter....and really in the Prophets Mohammads (SAW) and country and things....they began work young...they married young etc...because thats what u had to do and wer brought up to do! If we lived like that...and in particular if we lived in a Muslim country...the way it was meant to be..then that would be happening im sure...but times move...not to say religion has to be changed...but customs and doings of the Prophet (SAW) do become a bit more difficult...id rather work on the other Sunnah! And of course both can study when married....but realisticaly I dont see how it wood all work...married....living apart...being supported by ur mother...which is still a form of mothering...like looking after your weee baby...mummy will take care of it...and also if a baby comes along...u need to leave school for a while and who pays for it?
Some people are ready for marriage and then again some aren't. If this person would lilke to marry then by all means go ahead, it's better to be married at 14 then to have shaitaan tempt you with all the fitnah in todays society in any country. There have been many sisters I know of that have married at 14, 15 and 16years of age and Al-hamdulilah everyhting is going well. But muslims are increasingly brought up in the western societies, and are misguided by thinking that it is halal to have a girlfriend and study rather than do the correct thing and marry rather than take responsibilty. When I was 14 I knew that I was ready for marriage and then married in my mid teens as well, so if it's halal in the shari'ah then go for it, if you can take on that responsibility insha-allah ta'ala, Allah make it easy for you and reward you insha-allah AMEEN. :thankyou:
ALLAH GUIDES WHOM HE WISHES TO GUIDE AND MISGUIDES WHOM HE WISHES, may allah swt keep all muslims strong and steadfast in their deen-al islam insha-allah ameen.
i just love hearing bout people converting to islam! its soooooooo facinating especially in this day an age, where there is so much bad stigma attached to muslims. enwayz betta shut up as i aint revert! lol
masha-allah sister, may Allah give the new reverts guidance and keep us all steadfast in our religion insha-allah taa'la.
May allah accept our du'a for the muslims who are in hardship and relieve them of their pain and suffering insha-allah AMEEN.
Well, of course someone should marry when the age is right, but you should be wary that different people mature at different time, and are ready at different time.
ALLAH GUIDES WHOM HE WISHES TO GUIDE AND MISGUIDES WHOM HE WISHES, may allah swt keep all muslims strong and steadfast in their deen-al islam insha-allah ameen.
