I'm in love with a girl. I can't marry her. She loves me too but our love has taken such ugly turns that we can't even spend time with each other. If we are spotted together then its trouble for both of us. She was already engaged when she fell in love with me and kept it hidden from me and she couldn't break the engagement. My family is not ready to accept her considering the betrayal she served me with. My friends want me to stay away from her. But I love her. Alhamdulillah, I offer all 5 namaaz daily and read the QURAN but nothing seems to help me. I was away from her for sometime and I was able to get a little happiness but when I saw her again after that break, everything became the same again. I'm very sad about all this. I want her, I love her, I need her. Without her my life will be full of pain. I can't bear seeing her with any other man. Its almost impossible for us to get married and I can't forget her either. I don't know what to do?imsad She's my life and we understand each other very well. I can't forget her. I try it very much but I never succeed. She knows how much i love her and cries about how she got me involved in all this but I don't want her to cry. I want us to be together. Sometimes, I cry even during namaaz and fear that I invalidate it. Her parents will get her married by next year and I'm powerless. Please advice me in forgetting her. May Allah bless all you brothers and sisters.

i know love is blind *so they tell me* but im going to say this anyway:

Without her my life will be full of pain.

unless she was forced to agree to the other guy, she had no reason to betray you. seems like your life may have been full of pain either way.

I was away from her for sometime and I was able to get a little happiness but when I saw her again after that break, everything became the same again.

why cant stay away from her again?

Please advice me in forgetting her.

not to sound harsh here, but sometimes the best advice is the one handed down un-sugar coated!
just drill it in your mind as best as you can that you cant be together and whatever Allah has decreed will pass.
just tell yourself to let go and believe that she cant be yours. believe that you cant be with her. believe that there is sunshine after the rain.

 

[- IqRa -]

You can't forget someone in an instant. It takes time. There are many, many memories associated with that person, which cannot be erased automatically, like you erase something from a computer. A person is much, much more complex than that.
Time is a healer, believe it or not.

Make lots of du'a. Allaah will respond to your du'a, He says so Himself in the Qur'aan;

"And your Lord says: 'Call on Me; I will answer your (Prayer)'..."
[Qur'aan, 40:60]

But please, do not think that if you make du'a and it is not answered straight away in the form you want it to be answered, that Allaah isn't going to help you. It takes time. All you have to do is make du'a and do everything the best you can, leave the rest up to Allaah subhaan wa taa'la. If you are true in your love, then inshaAllaah Allaah wil find a way for both of you to be together. You will be surprised and happy at the way Allaah subhaan wa taa'la will help you out of this.

All you have to do is keep faith, keep strong and keep your trust in Allaah subhaan wa taa'la.

Jazakallah Khair sis for this kind response but there's this another problem. I don't know if I should make Dua for us to be together or not. Her fiance loves her as well ( not as much as me) and I don't want to marry her with anybody's objection. There are more obstacles in our way as well. I don't know how to make dua for this either.

 

[- IqRa -]

Have you made Istikharah, brother?

 

[mathematician]

Wait, I'm sorry. You are here asking for advice on wanting someone who is already taken, and the bros and sisters are telling you to make du'a???
You can't make du'a to Allah to make a married woman like you. It's just unethical, no?

Brother, if she is engaged, as you say so, then you need to move on. There is no easy way out. It's a painful path, but I don't think you have much of a choice here.
It is a sin to try and separate a couple. You say she loves you, but why did she get engaged to someone else? Did her parents "force" her to do that or was it that she loved him until you came in her life?

 

[- IqRa -]

Her parents will get her married by next year and I'm powerless.

This means she does not want to get married.

 

[mathematician]

This means she does not want to get married.

Yeah I always have trouble understanding that. When the brother said she is engaged I thought that meant that already did they marriage contract in the presence of witnesses, etc. If that has happened and the young lady went through it, then doesn't that mean she gave her parents the permission to marry that fiancee of hers?
If the marriage contract has not been done yet, then they are not really "engaged". They are still strangers. In that case, the young woman needs to face her parents and tell them "no". I know it's easy said than done, but it's something she will have to go through if she is to marry the OP.

 

[cat eyes]

ive heard many times... duaa is very powerful trust me. a friend of mine same thing happened with her, she couldnt get this guy, his family were to cultural his family didn't accept her for some crazy reason well she told me when she bowed her head and cried with such powerful emotion in which she asked Allah i don't want to love this person anymore and the next morning her heart was hard as rock for that person and she moved on... now she is happily married to a brother who is more the man he ever will be.

mabe you should try that. Allah helps the believers bro.:statisfie

 

[IbnAbdulHakim]

marry her then


theres nothing better for two lovers then marriage

 

[cat eyes]

btw i went through the same pain as you.. it effected my worship and i was thinking about taking my own life

[IbnAbdulHakim]

yup thats why u eiva -

get married


or

get distanced

 

[cat eyes]

thanks tony

 

[Tony]

thanks tony

Sorry if that came across wrong, I mean it really does affect us mentally, we become neurotic, paranoid and even delusional on a temporary basis and that would account for suicidal feelings and greiving etc. Sometimes its pain more than pleasure.

Their parents are in talks to get them married, thats all. Her parents aren't forcing her, in fact they're getting her married to him because they think she loves him and she was in love with him before she met me and she hasn't told anyone in her family about me. Its very ugly. I may be in love with the wrong person but I'm in love and I'm so helpless.

 

[ژاله]

may Allah ease your pain ameen.
try a simple therapy.when one falls in love,thats because one thinks all the time about the person in good terms. we amplify their good qualities and rectify bad ones. and many a times thats the thing that makes one fall for someone rather than the good times they spent together. so rewind the process. now amplify the bad qualities, think about them all the time, try to believe that she betrayed you and she doesnt love you and you are better off without her. and dont let your thoughts wander near anything good about her. you may find it extremely insane to think bad of the person you hold so dear, but thats gonna work, trust me. and also try to boost up your self esteem telling yourself that you should have too much pride to marry someone who loved or loves someone else. you know all kinds of evil thoughts inshallah. hope that helps.

I've tried it. It makes me worse. It makes me wanna take revenge and I start cursing that prospective marriage in my Duas. Its not good at all.

if shes already taken and agreed to it, move on.

if she loves you, why hasn't she spoken up? does she want the other brother still? why hasn't she broken up with him if she loves you? things aren't making sense :$
