"Perfect Match?"
What happens when you finally find that perfect person and are truely in love. Everthing is wonderful. You can't be happier than you are. But ONE major issue. They are not a muslim?? What now? What if the person is not willing to convert? Z, i thought it would be a good topic to discuss.
Comments on this journal
These days most of the people become b/f and g/f, and they don't even have marriage in mind, which i also find disturbing. We as muslims should not be having b/f or g/f just for the sex sake or relationship sake! We should be looking for someone who u can get married to and work on that! Plus, i think too long into any relationship before marriage always end up bad. I mean if ya'll are in "love" then why not marry the damn person right away? i don't get it.
Do not marry unbelieving women (idolaters), until they believe: A slave woman who believes is better than an unbelieving woman, even though she allures you. Nor marry (your girls) to unbelievers until they believe: A man slave who believes is better than an unbeliever, even though he allures you. Unbelievers do (but) beckon you to the Fire. But Allah beckons by His Grace to the Garden (of bliss) and forgiveness, and makes His Signs clear to mankind: That they may celebrate His praise.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~
There is a saying by John Maxwell " If I was to kick a person for all our failures in life, I won't be able to sit down for a week"
So here we go, problem starts from within us, not out side of us.
There is a saying by Imam Malik:
Control your thoughts because they become your words.
Watch your words because they become your actions.
watch your actions because they become your habits.
watch your habits because they become your destiny.
Simmilliar saying is "you form your habits and then your habits form you".
Point is we need to be careful in making choices in life and who we are listening to.
I know a Paki "Muslim" girl, who is in "love" with this white guy, and he is willing to convert, but she doesn't want him to because she thinks she doesn't practice Islam at all then why should she have him convert to Islam which i find disturbing, but I guess those are the choices you make. It easier to make such c hoices w hen you are young. But when the old age comes blv it or not most ppl regret it.
This one guy i know, he is almost 55 now. Paki guy, married to a catholic woman. Now his kids are 100% catholic and are named Robert etc. I mean now i talk to him, he regrets all what he has done out of love when he was younger. Often he says that he wish he was a strong believer when he was young, because now only him in his family is Muslim.
So the point is be careful what choices we make in life.
Also well said on the part that how big of a part religion in ur life. If you don't really care to be a Muslim and don't really care if generations to come also become Muslims, then go for the non-muslim guy and name ur kids John, Robert, etc. But i know for myself, i would not even consider someone who is not willing to convert to Islam, because religion is all i have at the end of the day. All the things are mortal, but ur faith is immortal.
