^No it's not because of that at all. Marriage isnt just something to fling around like that. MashaAllah for him if it works out. Does he even have a sense of responsiblity yet? Can he even support her? Sure it's good to get married early and stuff because of the fitnah and all that, if he has support if he's able no probs. It's just that the average 14 year old today...well...not ready for that? Think reality hereeeeee.

Why do u think there is this thing called "brother hood/sisterhood" in islam. How comes we are one big ummah/family. We are all here to help n support eachother. who ses the brother had to buy her a house n a car in order to marry her. who ses they even have to live together in order to be married? remember the stories of some sahaba, one man didnt have nothing but his armour n house, n the prophet saw told him to giv his armour away to sell n have the wedding with the money he got from that, he didnt have diddly squat. yet he still got married. another sahaba didnt have diddly squat either, he didnt have nothing at all, yet he knew how to read the quran, so the prophet saw told him to teach his wife the quran as her mahr.

When u ask Allah swt, he gives.

Just, been reading the posts and would like to knwo how you can be almost a muslim? Yeah sure I've heard of being born muslim, reverting to Islam, a converted muslim but never in the 4 1/2 years that I have been muslim I have never heard being "ALMOST A MUSLIM" you either are a muslim or your not, make up your mind. Will you stand on AL-YOM-AL-QIYAM and say to your lord, I didn't say my shahada becuase my parents did not want me to, but I was almost a muslim in the dunya? fear Allah SWT and speak of which you know that is truthful


sister that was unduly harsh and judgemental..and id expect you to know better since you are a revert too..Allah tells us in the Qur'an to speak mildly and give advice in the best manner...brother fishman has started praying..telling others hes muslim (this is shahada) bearing witness..he may not have sat before an imam but thats not necessary..he cna do shahada privately or confess to others...he has also told his parents..his RE teacher..the muslims in the new muslim organsation..

peace
 
Assalamu alaikum

I agree with sister Nawal89. A 14 year old should be concentrating on his studies and building up his Islamic knowledge, not rushing into marriage.

Ma'assalama

So u wud rather him be subjected to fitnah which could possibly lead to haram, then fulfil his desires in a halal manner which the prophet saw ordained for us? did u think that by being married u can no longer study or build up islamic knowledge? hmmm funny how ppl think marriage stops u from learning n studying. remember aisha ra got married at the age of 9, u reckon she shud have studied n gained more islamic knowledge before hand??? i dnt think so.
 
Quit creating conflict ppl...what this gotta do with the first thread...

I Respect this brother for what I can't do, the amount of fitnah going on the street is shocking wallahi being tempted by zina of a daily basis is crazy and if marriage is going to save him from that then marry and I hope allah blesses him with a pious wife.

I think you guyz gota realise that them guys (the kuffar) just want us to cause fitnah and arguments in between each other, so lets try to avoid the arguing insha'Allaah.


And obey Allah and His Messenger and do not quarrel for then you will be weak in hearts and your power will depart, and be patient; surely Allah is with the patient. (8:46)



Hadith - Sahih Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 62, Number 4, Narrated 'Abdullah (r.a)

We were with the Prophet (peace be upon him) while we were young and had no wealth whatever. So Allah's Apostle said, "O young people! Whoever among you can marry, should marry, because it helps him lower his gaze and guard his modesty (i.e. his private parts from committing illegal sexual intercourse etc.), and whoever is not able to marry, should fast, as fasting diminishes his sexual power."



jazak Allaahu khayr.

sister, i do not think marriage stops you from learning and studying. Marriage isn't only about being able to express your sexual desires in a permitted context. There is more to marriage then that. It holds with it responsibility and if you can't support yourself alone how are you going to support your wife? 14 is a young age, when the brain is still developing and teenagers are learning to make minds up for themselves, and i don't believe any 14 year old should be getting married. He hasn't even left school for goodness sake!

Times have changed from the days of Prophet Muhammed(peace be upon him.) You will be far stretched to find a 9 year old who is mature enough to handle marriage like an adult would.
 
my grandfather converted from hinduism when he was 14
his family kicked him out of the house..

Who sed marriage was only about physical attention. its much more then that, other wise it wudnt complete half ur deen wud it?

In islam a child becomes an adult at puberty, there is no inbetween like society tells u, theres no such thing as "teenager" in islam, ur either child or adult.

If u treat a kid like a kid then the kid is bound to act like one. u sed times have changed, yep times have changed, time doesnt stop still for any one, things are changing allt he time, but islam doesnt, generations change but the message still remains the same. look at children in poorer countries like india n africa etc, kids get married as young as 7/8 etc, kids around that age are sometimes orphaned n look after their little siblings n sometimes even support their mums if theyre still around, theyre the ones bringing food on the table. etc.

if u treat a kid like a kid because this society tells u this is how u shud be at this age etc then ur gonna be stuck in a rut because ur then following what society tells u n not what islam tells u about things such as marriage. as bro fi sab posted earlier on Hadith - Sahih Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 62, Number 4, Narrated 'Abdullah (r.a)

Dnt forget Allah swt is sufficient. How do u think ppl in poor countries get married? they dnt have a penny to their name yet they still get married, u cant use funds as a reason to stop ppl getting married. my husband didnt n still doesnt have a penny to his name yet we still got married. When u ask, Allah swt provides.

You raise some strong points, sister and i respect your opinion. Personally, i've seen too many teenagers pregnant and having kids when they can't even look after themselves.

If it works out for the brother, then i wish him all the best.

i reverted when i was 18 alhamdulillah, i'm now 19..


Sounds exact like me I thought you had quoted me for a second.

Anyhow.

With regards to being harsh, I recently read I think it was a hadeth and an ayah on this and it was clear that there are times in which you should be careful on how to speak.

I hope that the brother thinkin about Islam thinks carefully, and that he makes the right descion, it can be difficult believe me bro, trust I know people been kicked out and so on by their parents for becoming muslim but thats a test and if ya be patient then inshallah you'll be rewarded, if you can I'd advise you to read about Ibrahim peace be upon him.

Anyhow.

Lol with regards to marriage at 14, I wish I would be married at 14, would prolly save n help me lower my gaze, I agree that we should marry young,

But

If kids are brought up by their parents or in a society which smothers them and keeps them in the mentality of kids till they are 15 or so then I dont see how they can get married. In places I have seen like africa, people can get married young because that is what they are brought up to do, marry, live and so on, so their mentality is prepared. Here kids are mothered and dont have a concept of marriage till later on, so it would be irresponsible to bring up a child in such a state, where they are still not responsible for themselves at 16 and then say 'you've hit puberty dude, go get maried' it is the nurturing of the child from a tender age that can ensure not just physical maturity but also and most important mental maturity so they can deal with hardship, such as a nagging wife. lol.
 
Salaams,
I converted/reverted 11.5yrs ago - when I was nearly 19!!!
And I know when I think back that I was always destined to do so - when Allah made the time right for me as have all those hwom have onverted before and after me, younger and olrder than me - for some of us that time comes earlier that's all!!!
Khuda hafiz
 
Assalamu alaikum at the end of the day yes, teenages can revert/convert to Islam but all of this does not go ahead without the permission of the most merciful Allah (SWT). May Allah keep guiding us and keep us steadfast in our deen insha-allah ta'ala
 
Because u are young...means u are gona sleep around unless ur married?? At the end of the day, u reep what u sow, so i wouldnt reccommend somone gets married...so they dont sleep around...at that age, they still a kid...my wee sister is sooo not readi for marriage and shes gona be 14......and shez reali mature....and sex isnt on her mind!! Why is there such a rush? I think the mariage thing is my biggest problem....I cant understand why its so difficult! Inshallah Allah will help me be better and understand!!
 
Gee Daffodil...Regardless of what the non muslims do...has noffin to do with us...let them work away...at the end of the day, if the young bro cant control himself...then he has the price to pay...we all live thru choice...and what u do with it u will be held accountable!! I would say studying is most important...to seek and learn the knowledge, given, he can do that when married too!! But if he feels he wants to marry at 14 then fire ahead...but it most certaintly wouldnt be something I would encourage!! Young preganancies and the whole UK law...fair play to them, but noffin to do with us still...we have OUR rules and regs...is there many non muslim teenage pregnancies? If not then its working!!

And with regards to the 'nearli muslim bro'...U take ur time, itz not easy and everyone is here to support ya! I reverted only a wile back, and the thing is some people dont understand how difficult it is and what things can be effected and that....but Inshallah Allah makes it easy for you and everything goes well!!!
