I think you are missing the point sister.

Sometimes we might not always no whats best for us believe it or not.

I can give you an unrealted example. I was told that Muslims, according to an authentic hadith, cannot sleep on their stomach (Maybe someone can post the hadith quote but essentially the Prophet pbuh gently nugged someone awake in a mosque who was sleeping on the floor and told him that this was haram (forbidden) in Islam). Now I honestly remember thinking to myself that seems a little odd - why in the world would sleeping on ones stomach be a bad thing?

Then, years later, I stubbled accross a youtube video, which used TIMES magasine as its source (which I confirmed)and found the article about it, in the article Number one reason for developing a hunch back and severe back pains in old age is from sleeping on your stomach! Number ONE reason! Doctors only discovered that recently.This is a TIMES article, I am sure you will be able to find it. Complied by Non Muslims Doctors.

We dont always no whats best for is in the long run, we humans tend only to think about the NOW rather than the future.

Save yourself from heart ache. Think about it, how many of your dating friends have bad tales of their realationships breaking badly, not working, wasting time, being used for whatever (maybe sex) etc etc. Islam has the solutions to all the problems of this world and the next and whtether they are palatable to you or not, or go against your impuses, is irrelevant sister, because there is a indisputable long term logic. But people will never want whats best for them.

You at leasty have a duty to inform your 'boyfriend' that this is not islamically acceptable. maybe refer him to this thread, let him make an informed decision.

Peace Sis

Steph,

I actually think this guys taking the mick (no offense). What hes telling you doesnt make sense. If hes definately muslim, then inform him what you've learnt here, and see how he responds.

That was similar situation to me...Together me and my husband grew in faith and then i did my shahada (testimony of faith) in a masjid and our nikah at the sametime convinced Islam is the truth... Its amazing how Allah swt guides us...

So my boyfriend is muslim, I am not affiliated with any religious beliefs, I consider myself spiritual. We both respect each others beliefs. Sometimes when I ask him questions about his religion, he doesn't know how to explain it, so we often look online for answers. One question that I have that I could not find an answer to is why do muslims shower with underwear on? When we shower together, he doesn't wear anything, but he says when he showers alone, he wears something. Explanation please?

Hello there Steph, your probably talking about a sarong. Sri lankan men wear it as it is their traditional dress especially when at home. He probably wears it to go into the bathroom and takes it off before having a shower. Whether he wears a sarong in the shower or not it has nothing to do with Islamic beliefs or practices but either it is tradition or his own personal habit. You must learn correct knowledge of Islam in order to differentiate between the two. If you have any questions then you are more than welcome to ask.

As many have already mentioned Islam does not allow any relations outside of marriage because the fact is that a relationship outside of marriage is not a true and proper committment to the person but a marriage is. Countless people get hurt everyday because of being used and abused in relationships outside marriage.

If you have any questions about Islam then please do not hesitate to ask as you will only ever gain clarity on any matter by researching yourself or asking questions in order to establish the correct answer.
