    This came at just the right time for me. For the past 4 years I was dating a Muslim man in hopes of getting married to him. I was so in love. Prior to this I hadn’t known any Muslim people and he taught me a lot about the faith, I was already dressing modestly and a lot of my values aligned with traditional Muslim values anyway so I planned on taking my shahada soon and becoming a revert to officially marry him. About a month ago I figured out he had a wife and kids back in his home country. I was so devastated. I’ve been so bitter and angry but now I can accept he just wasn’t the right person for me and there is someone else out there who will appreciate me. I don’t know how I’ll find this person but I trust Allah will guide me. Thank you ladies! I have a lot to think about as I go on my journey.

      I'm sorry you went through all these. I'm glad you did not allow it to affect your belief. Some wrong people come into our life for a right reason we can't see immediately. They come and shape us into the right mode for the right person to be able to come into our lives. I hope I make sense. Move on and stay firm. One day you will look back and understand why Allah allowed this to happen. I believe it will end in smile in sha Allah. Stay strong.

      : Well, let me remind you that you are not getting married to the whole family, you are only getting married to one person and as long as you both love or care about each other may be the most important thing about it, so it seems like you don't have a good reason to reject someone just because their family don't like you.

  • @thehealedsister

    The childhood trauma and healing questions are so so so important. Forget "What's your favorite color?" and get in deep conversations instead. Be attentive to how the potential spouse behave with their parents, friends, strangers. Notice how they react when they are presented with a problem or resistance. Do they communicate efficiently? Do they close down and give you the silence treatment? Do they pay attention to your opinions, values...
    Emotional intelligence is something I wish I was taught before getting married and I would have looked for in my partner.
    Take your time to ask those questions. Look for actions that show congruency between words and behavior. ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS.

      Let us point out what the Qur'anic verses on polygamy actually say: "If you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, marry women of your choice, two or three, or four; but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly (with them) then only one." (Al-Nisa', 4:3)
      A subsequent verse states: "You are never able to be fair and just between women even if that were your ardent desire." (Al-Nisa', 4:129)
      It is clear from this verse that:
      First, the Qur'an does not give men the blanket right to have more than one wife. Polygamy is not a right, but a responsibility to ensure social justice for orphans. What Allah has granted is in fact a restriction on an existing practice of that time when men could marry as many wives as they wanted.
      Second, because polygamy is not a right, Allah placed conditions on its practice. There is an overriding concern for justice in this short verse, and conditions are set to ensure that justice is done.
      Condition A: Polygyny is permitted within the context of war and orphans. It is permitted only if the men fear they would not be able to deal justly with the orphans.
      Condition B: The man who wants to be polygynous must have the capacity to be fair and just to all his wives. The verse is a call for just conduct towards women, not a right for men to fulfill their alleged lustful desires or their egos. And just treatment here means more than a man's financial capacity to support more than one wife: He must be fair in all ways, including in the time, support, and companionship he provides to his wives and children.
      Condition C: If the man fears he cannot deal justly with all his wives, then Allah advocates that he should marry only one as this will ensure equality. This is explicitly stated in the verse

    One of my greatest fear is not finding a man to get married to, but getting married to the man I really desire, rather than settling for what I see for certain reasons. In the light of this fear, sometimes I wonder If what I want is too much and I'd consider lowering it. Another time, I'd believe what I want exists, I'm just yet to get it.😌
    This blessed me. I needed it!

    The ex - so good! The only thing that was not mentioned that should have been in this regard is how he talks about the ex. If it was, “She’s crazy, she’s this and that,” not always but very often, it’s a RED FLAG that HE was actually doing those things. The person also denigrating their ex is not a good reflection on them and tells you what you can expect if things go wrong in your union.

One thing i learnt about being around/raised by narcissists is you either end up mirroring them, or you reduce yourself and serve them..and this only mirrors in future relationships if its not dealt with.

This is very important topic but let me add this ; a year back when I was in my last year of the university in a certain period the lecturer told us " I know you all have someone in your mind that you would love to marry, but that kind of person only exists in your mind and hearts . You need to give up something , you need to make the list of the qualities you look for in women less otherwise you people will be single forever ". After one year I came to know that everyone of us has to give up something in order to marry.

Will they be able to step outside of their opinions and what they've always assumed, to relate to your point of view about things?

    Assalaamu Alaykum, another insightful and much-needed episode during these times especially! Barak Allahu feek for providing this as part of another exciting season, may Allah continue to put barakah in these episodes and that people act upon the guidance from the Quran and Sunnah whilst having the correct understanding of the Companions, Ameen. Having said that, I would like to suggest the next possible topic to cover in the upcoming episodes, that is either the topic of how the wedding night should be and how it can be practiced according to the sunnah as unfortunately many etiquettes have sadly been forgotten around this area, or secondly, the topic of how to balance love and worship in terms of not being obsessed with your spouse which can lead to shirk! I think these could be very practical and beneficial to those looking to get married and to those who are currently married. Keep up the great work!

    Amazing discussion ladies, may Allah reward you for this good deed. I agree on the part 2,3, 4, 5, there is a need (a thirst actually) for such open honest discussions.
    Now, to all the women out there, please do not lower your standards, have faith. If we as a collective demand better, we will get better, because we deserve sooo much better. I deserve the best and you deserve the best. To be loved, respected and honoured in the way that you want and need. This is not a fantasy, it is realistic, if you believe it to be. Continue on your healing journey, love, respect and honour yourself. ❤🌹

    Really liked this talk. Very insightful. I also cannot stress enough the power of duaa especially in the last third of the night. That's how my sister got married actually to her now wonderful husband of 10 years mashallah.
