I'm not a love guru and neither am I specialized in this. But I'll still go ahead and post about it, because I think there's a need to. You see, in everything you do, we always have to remind ourselves to view it in an Islamic way. We're Islam after all, aren't we?
Before I could start off with this topic, know that there is no such thing as girlfriend and boyfriend in our religion. This relationship status will only exist in this dunya (world), however a righteous spouse will be with you even in Jannah! But how do we know if we truly love someone? Only when you love Allah SWT, can you truly love a person, because you will love him for the sake of Allah. We all know the world we're living in is temporary, and Hereafter is our forever. So what we want to achieve in when loving someone is marriage, so he could probably be that someone who can be a Khalifah (leader) and Imaam to your family to guide all of you to Jannah. I mean, think about it. Why does he love you? Because of all the reasons that are in the dunya? Then what about our Hereafter? Does he care? If he does, he would definitely make you his wife. I mean, I'm in no position to say anything, but this is based on my own experiences. I personally think that if someone doesn't care about my akhirat, where I will spend my Hereafter, my well-being, and my relationship with Allah I don't think he would be the right man for me. Every muslimah wants her man to be doing the righteous things for Him first. So am I expecting much? I, on the other hand should make an effort as well to go closer to Him. Probably now is not the time yet for me to think about marriage, because there's so many things that I should do to stabilize myself, and gaining more knowledge and going closer to Allah SWT is one of them. But we cannot deny, it's hard to avoid love, because that's what humans are made for; to love. And now, I don't want because of this love, I fall into Shaytan's trap and give into my desires. Right now, I can only afford to pray to my future husband, wherever you are, that you will always be in the best of health, under Allah's protection and barakah. I do not expect him to be as charming as Nabi Yusuf ('Aalayhi Salam) because I'm not impressing the society, but just him to be a pious man to impress Allah. Am I still asking too much? Even if I do, won't it benefit him as well?
Past.. everyone has their own pasts. Allah is forgiving and He is the most merciful. It's not our job to ask why because that is His test for them. So maybe we could just do a simple favour not to think about it and just accept whatever he or she has become? No matter how dark his or her past may be, he or she repents, and managed to turn to Him back, that's all that matters right? When you look at him now, look at your future as well. Is he the right man to set a perfect example and be the best role model you wish your children to grow up with? Does he love Allah SWT? Because if he does, he will fear disobeying Allah and do all they can to please Allah. That means, you can rest assured that you will be well taken care of, because your partner knows your heart was created by Allah, and they wouldn't dare break a creation as precious as that despite our dark past. And even then if you are still going through pain, make this as a reminder:
"In trusting Allah, remember that what's best for you might be what's most painful." - Shaykh Omar Suleiman
I put my heart in the hands of Allah, so that He will put it in the hands of a man who believes and deserves it. May Allah bless us with pious husband/wife. Ameen Ya Rabb Al Alameen!
