A little advice from a Muslim sister to another Muslim

[anonymous]

A year ago I made a mistake. A big mistake which weirdly I don't regret but I also do. I regret it because I went against the teachings of Islam and was quite close to a guy. We weren't a couple but just really close, near enough to a couple. So, anyways, that's why I do regret it but the reason I don't is because it taught me a lesson. A lesson never to be forgotten. It made me realise how useless relationships before marriage are and how it completely shatters you. If you're a sensitive person like I am and you have been through what I have been through then you'll know what I mean.

The reason I'm writing this is because I don't want my Muslim brothers and sisters to become as heartbroken as I am/was. Relationships before marriage are a waste of time, there is no importance because your relationship isn't going to successful because you're doing it the haram way. If your like me, you'll remember this guy your whole life because he scarred you real bad, he said things that touched your heart and you know that one day it's all going to be a memory and you're going to reminisce and burst out into tears.

So why do people have relationships? There are loads of reasons, having someone to talk to and be there for you - well why has Allah blessed us with friends? Getting cheap presents on Valentines Day - firstly Valentines Day is not an Islamic celebration, and again why need a boyfriend to give you presents when you've got friends to? Peer pressure - Well I'm sorry but if you're friends are encouraging you to get a man then obviously they're not good Islamic friends are they now?

There are millions other silly reasons which people come up with but trust me, in the end you'll gain nothing but memories and you'll end up heartbroken.

So think now, what is the benefit of having a guy in your life? Don't think about today, but think about tomorrow, what are you going to answer when Allah asks you why you did it? What will you say to your creator? That you're sorry and it was due to blah blah blah? Nah, it won't work trust me, think now, and stop brothers and sisters. Fear Allah.

I am saying this from my own experience, and I would hate, I mean HATE it if someone goes through what I been/going through but InshahAllah we'll get through.

^^Your right sis, 100 %.
I know what you mean.

I slightly object to you generally referring to such relationships as being 'useless'. Yes, it is wrong to engage oneself in a relationship outside marriage, but some relationships are genuine. It might not have worked out for you but that doesn't necessarily mean to say all such relationships are fakes and will not work out.

Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him) is reported to have said (paraphrased): the best thing for two people who love each other, is marriage .

 

[youngsister]

Sister that was a beautiful advice, Satan will try to trick us in anyway he can, `Hes just a friend, whats the harm?`

Then it will develop to a relationship, Subxannallah!

Best thing to do is NOT TO FREEMIX!
Trust me thats where it all begins!

Jazakallah khair sis May Allah swt reward you.

Just because the relationship was geniunine it doesnt make it halal.

Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh), by way of warning and as a reminder said: " I have not left a fitnah (trial, calamity or cause for calamity) after me more than (the fitnah) with women for men" (Bukhari and Muslim).

Read my point again. I already pointed that out.

 

[youngsister]

I just wanted to quote that hadith.

Yes, it is wrong to engage oneself in a relationship outside marriage, but some relationships are genuine. It might not have worked out for you but that doesn't necessarily mean to say all such relationships are fakes and will not work out.

^Sis are you talking about haram relationships here?

^This bit confused me a bit, But i guess you are talking about people that are married.

i fink da sis it tryna say some relationships last and end up in marriage and othaz dont?

 

[strider]

Correcto.:thumbs_up

I think the original poster has made a valid point overall, but i think it is rather generalised and judgemental of her to pass comment on all such relationships just because the one she found herself in didn't work out. That is not to say i am condoning the relationships because i am not.

 

[youngsister]

Yep some do last and end up in marriage, all I am saying is that is best for us not to even get involved in relationships, its not worth it, even if they last and end up in marriage it still was haram.

But I do understand what you saying

 

[Um_ahmad]

Thanks for ur story sis.

Jazakillah khayr sis for sharing. May Allah swt give you peace and accept your repentance.

No, I think she is right. That fact that they are haram is what makes them 100% useless, whether they end in marriage or not.

^^Yea I agree.
Sure it may work out, but the whole point is that its haram from the get-go. So in other words, it is useless.

Jazak Allah for sharing .

It's unfortunate that many if not most Muslim parents are not conscious about hijab ( it does not only mean just to put a scarf on head ) .

To prove that they are not conservative , they send kids to co-ed instituitions , allow to have friends from opposite sex etc. Unwillingly many religious persons are becoming victims of the so-called modern values.

Now a days , when so many temptations are around , it's very imp that we become conscious about the bad effects of free mixing in the society. Allah does not allow it , it should come in to our minds first.

It's becoming hard to attend any invitation now. No seperate sitting arrangement for men & women , sit together , eat together ....i find these very disturbing :enough!:


When i try not to accept invitation , people love to remind me how it's a Sunnah to accept the invitation . Many times , people literally force me to go to picnic & other places .


Sis , it's good to see that u learnt from ur mistake. May Allah accept ur repentance , Ameen.

I think what Strider sis is saying is that it's not haram to love someone, but haram for that love to develope into a relationship - so if two people love each other they should get married.

correcto? :-[
