THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt, 28th day of Swafar 1444AH. (Saturday, 24th of September 2022).
*_COURTSHIP IN ISLAM_*. BismilLaah.
To non Muslims, courtship is a period during which a couple develop a romantic relationship before getting married with excuse of getting to know each other well regardless of any disobedience to ALLAH within such relationship. This kind of relationship is strictly forbidden in Islam. Islam has a permissible form of courtship before the actual wedding day. First of all, it's not permissible and not recommended or healthy for any Muslim who is not ready for marriage to initiate any form of relationship with a brother or sister. It's important to build good relationship with ALLAH first through studies of Islam and also building a good and halaal career or source of income before even thinking of marriage. Don't waste your time with anyone within these period and be focused especially our brothers and sisters in education or in any apprenticeship.
When you are ready for marriage then you can begin searching for a partner through friends, relatives, colleagues, local imams, learned Islamic teachers etc for any recommendations. You must take your time through Prayers whilst searching considering the minimum 4 formula recommended by our beloved Messenger of ALLAH sallallahu alaihi wasallam which are 1. The Person's eemaan or practicing nature and must be a Muslim. We can't marry ANY non Muslim. 2. The person must be attractive to you. Don't just accept bcs of your parents or who did the recommendation even though that factor is highly recommended if you can consider the person. 3. The person must be earning halaal income or ensure his or her source of income is halaal. 4. The person is been raised from a good muslim family or good practicing revert etc. These are guidelines to consider in our efforts to find a suitable partner for our marriage life.
*_May ALLAH protect our marriages and grant our single brothers and sisters good partners_*. Aameen.
