to all the muslims

Get your parents involved, tell them how you really feel. I'm sure they will find the best for you. Plus our religion allows you to sit with the potential spouse, speak to him/her in detail before making a decision.

P.S, there is no harm in speaking to them generally or trying to get to know the person you're engaged to. Just bear in mind that it has to be limited to a level that has been allowed by our religion which means no haram acts/talks. In simple words, a formal relationship until to you get married (nikah).

I'm engaged and I do speak to my fiance but within the limits given. :smile:

Good luck to you.

Marriage comes first. Love comes after lol

True, you can't love a person unless you live with them.

If they don't see it as a "wasted life", then it's not a wasted life.
and it's not "sad".
It's just the way they've chosen to live their lives.

I bet that some Muslims believe that living by the western values of drinking and one night stands is a "wasted life".
:wink:

Well he does see it as a waste because he wants a girlfriend and can't have one, does this make him happy? No. So it is a waste caused by his religion.

Possibly but I don't really do either of those so..

im 21, never had a bf bc its haram but i am fed up of being single. What can i do?
Plz cnt advise me to disregard or quit my religion. Also, i would never use a website for single muslims. I prefer a traditionsl approach. My big problem is tht it is difficult to approach me as i am scared of committing a sin. I dnt want to disrespect my religio but i really want to love and be loved.

You need to find a sheikh or go on an Islamic advice website like Sunnipath or something along those lines and ask the question there please don't ever bother asking questions like these on this site - you can even go to Yahoo Answers Ramadan section and ask there.

I know two hijabi girls that say they will have sex with their partner before marriage

No!

They're not 'hijabi girls' then are they.... hijab isn't just a scarf... it's the rules about modesty. The headscarf is sposed to be the symbol. A real hijab means that you don't show off immodestly in any way.. to any person. Therefore, those girls who have a hijab on during the day... but then go around with a male, kissing, having sex with them etc... have actually lost their 'hijab' by doing these things.

And if I get a neg for this... it's either from non-Muslims... or Muslim girls/boys that don't understand the concept of hijab.

as for the OP... you don't 'need' a boyfriend. You can meet someone in your life... love them... but not go hang around with them in private.... and still love and marry them in the end. And now I've realised I made a mistake in my life recently... meh

You should never let a religion dictate to you if it makes you unhappy.

Trying to get to know the person you're already engaged to? Wow, the world really has gone mad.

no, your wrong, how on earth could you say marriage comes first? so your stupid enough to marry someone you don't even know if you love them?? well mate, if you wanna have an unhappy loveless marriage then by all means do, but the way you think is so backwards, this is the 21st century people marry for LOVE

Are you saying love is not possible after marriage?

Also people marry for money and a British passport rather than love.

We need to get married.

whats the point marrying someone you dont know? theres a BIG chance you may NOT end up loving the person you marry, then what? get a divorce? add the the evergrowing number of divorces in the world? I don't get why anybody would be stupid enough to take a risk and marry someone they don't love, and if your concerned about them going after your british passport then don't marry an immigrant simple!

No, I'm not speaking for myself because I won't be ignorant about the person I marry. I will know him inside out before I even dream of spending the rest of my life with him. I would never 'try to get to know' someone after I was already engaged to them, you don't realise how crazy and backward what you said sounds!

Sure, if that's how you want to live and the risks you want to take then go ahead, but I can still exercise my right to free speech and comdemn it as utterly ridiculous and shocking. :smile:
